I've been working on my 2D project, (40 images) and I did a comic book.
MY GOD.
I DID NOT.
REALIZE.
HOW DIFFICULT IT IS.
AND HOW TEDIOUS.
I have STARTED it and am nowhere near close to being finished (it was due today oops). I have 22 panels drawn of the 65 or so that I have planned out. And the ones I have drawn are just in ink, I still have to add some shading and the minimal amounts of colouring that I was planing on, and I definitely have to clean up the pages themselves because they're covered in finger smudges of both the pencil and the ink variety. Because I know no one besides my english prof looks at this blog (hi Justine) I'll post a picture of one of the pages because I'M NOT INTIMIDATED! I'll give up the page with my favourite panel on it (it's the one at the top with the big monster hint hint)
So yeah, I have 2 full pages, front and back, and another third page, just the front. Even though the due date is passed and I already presented what I had to the class, I still want to work on it and finish it. I'm really excited for the final project!!! :)

Getting back into Photoshop!!

I need to start getting back into Photoshop for this project, so I've been working on this image for a few days and I'm pretty proud of it, I must say. It's going to be a fan poster for this Batman series:

I combined a screenshot of the joker's face that I got from the trailer as well as an image I got from the internet and I'm pretty happy with the results. I don't know if I'm going to make this my school assignment or if I'll start another one, but for now, this is an example of the kind of work I like to do: dark, simple, interesting, and a little creepy. :) I'm going to touch up the hand because it still doesn't match the tone of the joker's skin, but other than that, I'm content for the moment.
Below are the two images I combined.

I'll probably add in some other small things to give it some extra oomph, like maybe I'll put the floating cards in the background or something like that. Hopefully this turns out well!
