Over at iHeartFaces.com, they have a weekly event during which they take a "not-so-good" photo and give it to their contributors to "fix" in whatever photo editor they wish to use. There's no prize, but it's something fun for design geeks like me to do on a Friday afternoon.
To the right is the image they provided for Fix-It-Friday, Week #5.
Below is how I edited it to my own liking.
The final image came out quite nicely if I may say so. :o)
I used Photoshop and many of its fun filters to get the overall look. A couple images I found on the web helped embelish the background and face.
The ear, I created mostly with the smudge and clone tools with a bit of paintbrushing too.
Please comment and let me know what you think!
There are a lot more images to check out from other contributors, so click on that link if you'd like to see them too.

If there were a Sci-fi award for editing, it would totally go to you!!! It's quite clear you have impressive PS skills!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWOW. I haven't seen enough of your digital art - that's amazing. :-) Makes me wish I could afford PS, but I'm a poor, starving artist. :-P That is SO COOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Skeller! I had a lot of fun doing this for sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elraen! Yes, I love doing digital art. It's a great way for me to express my creativity. I rarely get a chance to get this crazy though. I think I'll be doing Fix-It-Fridays a lot more just for this reason!
ReplyDeleteWicked Cool.... nice job wish I had your skills
ReplyDeleteThanks, Missy! I stopped by your blog; you're a fellow Project 365er? Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat is so completely amazing, Mangy! I love it! Makes me wish I has PS even more than I already do. Your skills are fabulous. :)
ReplyDeleteok... I have to have PS now. Someone give it to me!! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat fixit!! Any boy would be proud to hang that up. :)
Twin: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :oD
ReplyDeleteSharon: Yes, PS is a great program. I don't even have the most recent version. (I think it's 9.0.) Just goes to show how much it can do, even in its older forms.
Oh, I would love to have your skills in PS. This fix is AWSOME, and I LOVE it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Siw Aina! And hey, you're a fellow Project 365er too? Hooray! It's a great adventure.
