Kim Kardash as a Bratz doll

Aisha before and after

Wow more retouching! We had to follow all the instructions on the "before" picture to change Aisha as the photographer guy wanted. This project was pretty cool, and it was just using a lot of the skills we learned before.

Retouching

oh rats

Wowza another animation! For this animation we drew and cut out a character, then made it into a stop-motion thing. I feel like my other animation was more successful than this one because it's smoother, and I spent more time on it. If I were to do this again I would have made the legs into different pieces so that it could be smoother.

crazy jack in the box

Animation! These past two days we had to take a drawing from a kindergarden art class and animate it. I chose this creepy jack in the box. It was difficult to figure out how to animate in Photoshop at first, but I got some help and eventually figured it out. I really liked this project, and once I got into it the process became easier. If I had more time I would have done something with it's face to make the animation more realistic. Overall I really enjoyed this project!

Mesh project

The mesh project was really fun for me. I blended inanimate objects of seaweed and shark teeth into my hair. I used the same picture of the seaweed for each side of my hair so that the color/texture would be the same. I was originally going to make the shark teeth my teeth, but my mouth was too small and it didn't show up well. After I created my crown, I made little whitecaps around me to make it appear as if I were emerging from the water.
I really liked this project because I had to use multiple tools, and it was really cool to see how my ideas came to life.

Animate V. Inanimate

So for our next project we have  to mesh an animate and an inanimate object. Here's a list of my possibilities:

• Inanimate 
• Nails 
• Hammer  
• Lawn hose
• rocks/boulders
• wheels/tires
• windmill
• shark teeth or seashells
• seaweed
• planets
• books
• socks
• lightbulb
• telephone cord
• wires
• telephone pole
• keyboard keys
• paper planes
• staples
• duct tape
• ruler
• Animate
• me
• shark
• dog
• godzilla
• praying mantis
• hands
• trees
• brain
• cat
• chicken
• fish
• jellyfish
• elephant
• grass
• cow
• horse
• snake
• bird
• butterfly
• dolphin

I decided that I would do a picture of me incorperated with shark teeth, seashells, seaweed, and other beachy stuff.

bushelot

Newimals! For this project we had to create an animal out of two different animals. I did an Ocelot and a Bushbaby, making a Bushelot. I think mine turned out ok, but there was definitely some room for improvement. The hardest part was matching the color of the head and the body. It was also hard to get the head just right.
