I was bored last night so I decided to make something for a replacement profile pic. I think it sucks but I will take ownership of it since I made the effort even if it was just for fun.
This was the original photo. I think my edit didn't do it justice because the main reason is I am not The Rock. Who is a beast of a man. Plus I am not mean looking.
I spent a good few hours editing and I am proud of the eyes and that's about it. I failed in the shading, I think I ended up blurring the face too much plus the airbrush tool on Gimp was not something I am used to.
I need more practice if I want to make this a full time job... Joke. I don't think I will be able to justify a price in anything that I plan on doing.
But like they say practice, practice, practice. It's all I can do to make sure I don't go crazy in the next few months. Big changes scare me but at the same time I an excited. Not showing anything since I am apprehensive with the results about to get me into something where I think I will end up being alone for a bit. All self inflected of course since I am good doing something like that.
Not sure how I would even begin to start with that kind of lighting. I think that is the biggest challenge I had with the edit. Blending the shaded coloring is something that really requires time and practice. Maybe I can take a pic with just my clean shaven face and then plunk it into the picture but ... this requires me to take the time and really make an effort which then becomes something I do not consider fun anymore.
Well I should have some time in the not too distant future.
Stop it with the ambiguity.
Well laters.
