So, my kind of art isn't drawing, such as most of the artists here. I do photomanipulation <3 I figured I'd show off my most recent project, for a friend from school (:
I'm going to ask that nobody save it for use as a wallpaper or something like that, mostly because it's not a personal piece, but was requested by somebody (Not sure if any of you would do that anyway, but I'm protective lol)
Here's what I did: - Resized background - Cropped the panda - Resized and placed the panda on the background - Drew a new back foot (his was missing in the original image) - Drew the tail (also missing) - Played with blending to make the panda appear a part of the setting - Highlighted/shaded, and outlined various objects and the panda - Made some final saturation/colour adjustments
Here are the links to the original images if any of you are curious www.flickr.com/photos/captainmcdan/2239552907/in/faves-21039285 - Panda mysticmorning.deviantart.com/art/Untouched-Forest-2-285657521 - Background

Wow, this is gorgeous! You did an amazing job on the tail!!! It looks so real! Also...I do photo manips too! I've been doing them for years(haven't done any in awhile though cus I haven't had a reason too), but I think you're better than me What program do you use? How long have you been doing photo manips? You're really making me want to get back into it!!! ~Vanilla

Thank you <3
I use Photoshop Elements 8 and a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet. I've been doing photo editing for probably 5 years, but I didn't start into true photomanipulation like this until maybe 3 years ago when I got my tablet for Christmas (:

Nice! I use GIMP simply because I know my way around it I actually have an older photoshop, but it confuses me, so I stick to GIMP haha. Nice! I have a Wacom tablet too, mine is the pen tablet We've been doing photo manips for about the same amout of time! I started in 2007, so I like looking back at my older stuff and laughing at how horrible I was ~Vanilla

I don't find GIMP as organized/advanced, but I did used to have it downloaded on an old computer for very minor edits. I removed it because Photoshop just became the quickest way for me to get stuff done. And yeah, a lot of my old stuff I wouldn't consider manips, because they were mostly colour changes and text edits. Otherwise my first few manipulations were not very good lol

Thank you so much, Daveena! I love to make manipulations for people, so I always wonder if I should offer one as a trade for petz sometimes... It'd be easier if more people accepted art as trades haha.
