I’ve been asked (on a couple of occasions) what my sort of workflow is.
I have to admit, I really don’t have one. Some days I will edit ten pictures in exactly the same way, other days I will spend ten hours on the one image, barely doing anything to it except fiddling until I find something that I like. I haven’t been able to do that much recently due to school but last night I did what I would call a relative “quickie” where I mostly followed my workflow for retouching photos. Kinda.
I also wanted to have a bit more of a play with the new Wacom Intuos graphics tablet I won from Shutters Inc – though with a much more realistic retouch.
You can listen to that podcast and see my workflow here.
But before that, keep reading!

Clair de Lune
Stock credit listed on the deviantART page.
Votre âme est un paysage choisi
Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi
Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques.
Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur
L’amour vainqueur et la vie opportune,
Ils n’ont pas l’air de croire à leur bonheur
Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune,
Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres
Et sangloter d’extase les jets d’eau,
Les grands jets d’eau sveltes parmi les marbres. View full article »

Noir Magazine - Conceptual mazine and masthead design.
I must apologise for the lack of content here recently. As a design student now in my second year of my course (part time) I am pretty busy with homework a lot of the time. I hope to have a range of different tutorials up over the coming weeks though.
Not to mention photos and assignment pictures.
*** The above assignment features photography by yours truly. The image is one I took of up and coming singer, Katie Weston.

Another for my Dragon Worlds series. Been working on this one for a while. Still not entirely happy with it. I think it’s because it’s in portrait orientation rather than landscape. It’s not quite as epic as I was hoping it to look and I think the lack of background is the reason why. Feel free to leave your opinions. I really can’t fix this without starting from scratch and that’s something I’m not really inclined to do unless I’m particularly inspired to revisit Photoshop and battle the dragons again.

The Washer of the Ford
There is a lonely stream afar in a lone dim land:
It hath white dust for shire it has, white bones bestrew the strand:
The only thing that liveth there is a naked leaping sword;
But I, who are a seer am, have seen the whirling hand
Of the Washer of the Ford. View full article »
Just getting back into the swing of things and practicing some new techniques in Photoshop. Almost got the painterly effect going (though that wasn’t the aim). Below you can see a picture of the after/before comparison. All the details as to the stock providers and a bigger version of this image can be found on my deviantART account, and the image “Nereid”.
