Magnedude = Geodude + Magneton

In the spirit of Christmas, I spent today revisiting something I did at the end of last year, around Christmas. As a followup to Primexecutor, Sebastian and I mixed together Geodude and Magneton. Like last time, Sebastian came up with the concept and drew up what came to mind. I cleaned up the drawing and colored it in Photoshop. From a distance, it kind of looks like a Christmas tree.

STEP ONE: SCAN ORIGINAL INTO PHOTOSHOP

STEP TWO: DARKEN LINES, REMOVE STRAY LINES AND WHITE SPACES 

STEP THREE: ADD COLOR

STEP FOUR: BURN COLORS

 

STEP FIVE: ADJUST BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST

STEP SIX: SHARPEN LINES AND ADJUST COLOR

STEP SEVEN: FINISH

I'm trying to get all caught up on the photos I've taken this epic semester. I didn't have too much to post this time, but there are still a few sets I want to get up on Flickr before it's too late and all but forgotten. So far, I have two up. A few more to go before closing up the photo archives. Also remember to check out my photo portfolio at kcheng.us.

I've also gotten involved in taking some videos with my iPhone 4. I must say, it's pretty fun. My videos are at vimeo.com/usumbs.

Kevin Fact 10

My biggest character flaw is jealousy.

The Tampa Saga Ends in an Upset

It was an epic adventure to say the least... starting with the Feedback predicament, The Amazing Race aspect, The Apprentice aspect, and ending with a ride up to Ithaca in a rental car with a stranger.

Ask me personally if you want to know the details. I don't feel like writing about it here.

But what did I get out of all of this? A newfound level of respect, trust, and humility. And a great disdain for the color yellow.
