My Photoshop Creations and Manipulations - A Collection

Image
By
 I have been using Adobe Photoshop for a long time, probably since I was 12. The first work of art I created was a portrait of Harry Potter using Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Since then I've been using it for small edits and manipulations, but I really got into it in my college days, discovering techniques such as layer masking and blending, among others. 

Here I present a showcase of my modest works:


Photo Manipulations:

When you lose yourself to the music - Tried the dispersion effect here on a friend who is a DJ.

Color Splash - Dispersion on a bouncy ball.

Losing my hair 

My last selfie before Thanos's snap

The Double Exposure effect - superimposition of the silhouette of a bird over a sunset

The man himself, peeking from behind some words written about him. This page belongs to a book called 'The Apple Revolution' by Luke Dormehl. Highly recommended to anyone wishing to know about Apple and the cultural milieu in its early days.

Nature's pages

Clockwork - a man and a city

My very first try at double exposure


The world inside is as vast as it is on the outside

Album art designed for the DJ in the first picture.


Portraits:

 

Portraits of my parents, made using the words 'Mother' and 'Father' in different languages



My very first digital portrait

Vector portrait of a friend

Portrait of Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes

Self portrait

Portrait of Hermione Granger from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Portrait of Anna Faris. Hers was one of the first vector portraits I made.


Low poly portrait of Heath Ledger as The Joker

Vector portrait of a friend made using Adobe Illustrator. I consider this my personal best :D


Other original works:
One of the many Micheal Jackson moves I tried to emulate in my teenage years.





Another album art for some relaxing music

Product of a wild imagination

Going crazy with a newfound skill.


That is all for now. Looking back at all these, it reminds me of a time when I would marvel at such digitally created pictures and portraits. Though I still have much to learn, I feel happy to have got this far, and it only motivates me to go further.

Until next time.

Harry Potter Crafts #1: Advanced Potion Making by Libatius Borage (Hogwarts Potionbook)

By
While my mates and colleagues are all doing something or the other to help them get a job three years from now (or even before that, depending on the person concerned) (FYI, I'm in the first year of my Bachelor's programme as I write this post), I have been whiling my time away doing unproductive work (which effectively means that I'm doing nothing). They are building their skill sets so their resume gets laden with attractive features while I am still figuring out how to make a resume. So, these holidays, the least I could do was to complete my unfinished works if I was not going to start anything new. One of these works was a handwritten manuscript of Hogwarts potion-book "Advanced Potion Making" which Harry and friends use in their sixth year of schooling. I was always fascinated with the potions depicted in the books and movies and as a child, I used to pray for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to be real. Of course, I eventually realised that...

My Thoughts on Raji: An Ancient Epic [PC Version]

By
Raji: An Ancient Epic. Though the game has ‘Epic’ in the title, and I bought it off the 'Epic' Games store, it’s not that epic in terms of length. I finished it in 6 hours, and I did die a bunch of times in the meanwhile. Perhaps they just wanted to appease the guys behind the game engine that Raji was developed in. just a wild guess. BUT…! Raji is Beautiful. Period. I can’t say this enough. Being beautiful is this game’s selling point. Every single area of every single level is crafted with love, packed with care, and gifted to the player with a grateful smile. Raji almost shows its environments off, and quite rightfully so. It knows it’s beautiful and is proud of it. It flaunts its visual splendour and manages to divert all attention from the more ordinary elements. Now I admit here, being an Indian perhaps allowed me to connect with the game better, since it borrows heavily from Hindu mythology, and therefore had more of an impact on me. But then, there have been other...

My Thoughts on the PC games Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2 (a comparison)

By
 [Originally written on 22nd Sep 2019] I just finished playing HP Deathly Hallows Part 2, having completed the part 1 yesterday.   When I started Part 1, I was straightaway disappointed because the game threw a few missions at me that felt less related to the story and more like they were included just to make it lengthier. Then there was repetition – a fair amount of it. For instance, Harry had to rescue a bunch of muggle-borns from the snatchers. This involved fighting the enemy and liberating the muggle-borns from the evil enchantments. The same theme is repeated in various locations, giving the developers some sort of reprieve whilst increasing the game length. They succeeded, although sacrificing the game’s excitement. It started off quite well, though, with Bill and Fleur’s wedding, Shaftesbury Avenue and then to Grimmauld Place. Up until then it was fairly enjoyable, but as I progressed, I began facing issues. To begin with there were these side missions to be com...
