Mini-Projects Day 7: Cougaroo

As a predator, the cougaroo is crippled by its inability to move its hind legs independently. Because of its disability toward catching prey, often the cougaroo must survive solely off of Kangaroo Express brand Roo Cup refills.

I made this thing. I put a watermark over it because I sort of like it.

MIni Projects Day 1: Slice Mini-Project

In Computer Art we are starting a 12-piece project of 12 photoshop projects, one each day for twelve days. The first project is a "slice" project, where we "cut" a slice out of an object using photoshop. I went with the cliche "kiwi inside a kiwi" thing:


It didn't really turn out very well, but I guess I have 11 more days to produce better projects.

Parts Project

This project required that I recreate an organic object with non-organic parts - I decided to cover an image of a turtle with junk parts, mainly trash bags and metal sheets, and use the burn and dodge tools to add dimension; here is the result:


I was worried about adding the girders at the bottom because the picture I ripped them from had a diffrent resolution and different focus from the background image, but I think using the blur tool helped to estabish a more natural foreground-to-background movement. Overall, I liked how this image turned out, although I feel like I could have done more work shading in some places, like around the eye.
