24 | SOUL REAPERS AREN'T THAT BAD

final ver.

yeet! this is actually an entry of mine in a pretty big competition hosted by the one and only, lianne one of the og graphic queens.

i have to say, if i probably didn't add the candles it might have looked better :P but im a joke so i didn't do that. I think the manio was ok, doesn't make much sense but it shows a lot of improvement if you compare it to my entry during s2 of her competition XD.

my main reason for joining wasn't to win, it was to prove that i have improved in about a year of editing :D

25 | DRIFTING ON ASPHALT AND GLOWING IN NEON

original

layered colorings

filtered ver.

omg you have no idea how proud i am of this edit! this is actually a request in my graphuc shop but i decided to post it here getting rid of all the text (save my watermark) so you can see the details better!

tell me if you want to see a process gif to i can make one ;)) but i was really proud because usually when i manip, i slather shadows everywhere in an attempt to make a piece look cohesive (see corrupted shadows as a sample)

while this one barely has any! the only places i put a ton of shadows was on the lower right side of the cover because the png was cut awkwardly in thag area 😅😅 while mild shadows to add depth was added on the bottom and top of the cover, curving a bit on every edge :P

i used a lot of clipping masks on this one though and all of those were used to manipulate the light on my model :))

im also really happy on how the other png elements worked with each other and they look so well! this has to be one of my most prized manips to date! (one to compete probably is Mystical Waters from my past portfolio though it doesn't look as sleek as this)

BY THE WAY
