Ever wondered how you'd look if ever you turned into a cartoon version of yourself? Well, I reimagined half of me (literally) as a toon and this is what I became!
A Half Evil Flame Elf
First thing I did was to look for a decent shot of my face, meh, and fix up the levels of it. Afterwards, I duplicated the image and erased half of it, then applied the cutouts filter from Photoshop's Filter Gallery (and stopped when I was satisfied with how it looks).
Of course I needed to edit some features to look more like an elf rather than Elmo or something. I added a scar under my right eye because this elf likes Luffy from One Piece. Then pointed ears because that's the elf bling. Wispy hair here and there with a simple brush tool. Lastly, a flaming customized eye, and no that's not a Sharingan.
Lastly, what is a flame elf (that's supposedly evil) if stuff around him isn't a bit on the crispy side. So I had to draw in a few flaming doodles here and there.
Here they are up close. They're pretty much the same layers duplicated, flipped, and edited around because those lines were harder to do than they seem.
Voila! Here's the finished artwork. Which served as a new display photo for my Instagram and Facebook, because why not.
If anyone would ask... No, the car did not burn asunder, it's safe - after all we keep a fire extinguisher in the car. You know, just in case I really would turn into this guy. Anyway, I hope you have a flaming wonderful day ahead of you and thanks for reading! Ciao!
