Untooning

Ok, so I was perusing the informatical (its a word) void that is the internet the other day (more like 2 and a half years ago actually) and I came across this blog. Its by some guy called 'Pixeloo' who is a photoshop pro. There's all sorts of cool bits of artwork on there, but his most famous pieces are his 'untoons', whereby he takes a picture of a famous cartoon or game character and basically turns them from this:

into this:

It's pretty darn nifty i think you'll agree. Anyway, the point of this post, is that this inspired me to try it out for myself. With The Simpsons and Family Guy already covered in his blog, and due to a personal obsession, I decided to give it a go with Hank Hill from King of the Hill, I tell yuh what.

I started with this:

And after a week or so of working on it, on and off, I ended up with this.

Huhuhuhuh....Propane

It's a little rough round the edges, but overall i'm pretty pleased with it as i think it does look slightly human, whilst also still looking like Arlen's own propane salesman of the year.

One conclusion i have drawn from this, and Pixeloo's ones, is that cartoon characters have REALLY stare-y eyes, but you just don't notice it until they're human. 

Photoshop Montage

Another bit of work from my first year at university. Its meant to be a poster that'd be dotted about the place. I actually don't think it looks all that bad.

My first website...ahhhhh

This was the first website i ever did make. I feel as though basic large blocks of colour and page after page of text, are underused nowadays.

Anyway, I made this as a piece of group coursework in the first year of uni - it got 100%, what of it.
Its all about different film genres and if i say so myself, its a thrilling read.

The links to the pages created by other people no longer seem to work, only the ones to my action pages do.

Here's a link

The Blog!

Just thought i'd start up this blog as somewhere to put all the things i've worked on at uni, work and in my spare time. From videos to websites. Perhaps even all the stupid stuff I bother to do on Photoshop.
