Photo Manipulation

I enhanced the photo of my brother and applied tattoo on his body. I got the idea from this tutorial. This is the original photo:

I don't know how to deal with the hair that's why I just burned it thoroughly, resulting to a bad effect on the size of his head. Hope you could give me some advice. :)

The tattoos came from here and here.

Steps:
1.) Cut out the body from background. Use contract extraction and little feather.
2.) Make black background
3.) Add Adjustment Layers: Curves, Brightness/Contrast (2x), Photo Filter (brownish), Hue/Saturation (Decrease Saturation)
4.) Use Burn and dodge tool around edges to intensify blending.
5.) Import tattoos, rescale, mask, add little noise, 60% opacity.
6.) Brush with Red, "Color" blending mode to make it a little fresh.

Romeo - Vector Art for My Dad

Romeo

Vector Art

My very first "official" vector art of a person. And in this case, it's my dad's. I didn't know I was not doing vector art until I heard of such a thing as "vexel." Now I know the difference. Usually, vector arts are done through Adobe Illustrator, but it can still be done through Photoshop with less ease. This art took me around 4 hrs or more. This is for my dad, I hope you like it!

The Land of the Rising Sun 2011

"The Land of the Rising Sun 2011"

This was inspired by the artworks I featured in my last post. I hope you like it.

For the commemoration of what happened to Japan on March 11, 2011 - A disastrous devastation of Japanese dreams by the wrath of nature. An 8.9 magnitude earthquake, a series of tsunami hampering from their shores through their cities, and nuclear plant explosions, all happening in a 3-days time. Let us all lend them a helping hand. Let us all pray for world peace.
