At last, this image was finally done! Friend in Every Season was my fictional image specially created to this 3rd tournament.

A girl with his 'soul guardian', actually it's her imaginary friend. A living stone, taking a shape like a sheep with seasonal furs (leaves). It's talking of course! And playful indeed, what a wonderful friend to share joy and happiness through the lifetime, through the seasons. A timeless fellow which never tired of her cries when she was a little angle, teen, adult, until the very old of her ages.

The true guardian which protect, accompany and warmth her until the time is finally come.

Done with Photoshop with the source image. (5 years and 2563 days ago)

• I have search everywhere through this site and found nothing about contest with the theme of PXL birthday, but after looked at the pxleyes team about, it gave me the reason to dedicate my entry as a celebration of pxleyes birthday which mentioned on April 2006 by Mister Monty’s about. I think it’s not a coincidence; it was God’s plan to make my entry has a lot of meanings together with the three objects on the final round of Photoshop Tournament; a candle, animals with the logo.

• In my opinion, there are three biggest events in our life that we would to celebrate it.

• First, it’s a celebration of birth.
• Second, it’s a celebration of getting married.
• And last, it’s a celebration of death.

• As for the celebration of death, some might think it’s not an appropriate way to say. But for me, it’s also a celebration since I believe in God and Heaven is so real. While started this piece from concept, I’m also in the middle of grieving. My beloved aunt by the name of Etty passed away on 17th April 2012 at 10:10 AM days ago. We ‘celebrate’ her for three days until the cremation of her remnants, after that we spread her dust to the open ocean at 19th April.

• So, please forgive me if I tell you my slice of life that might bother some of you. It’s just a continuity background story of my entry after all; we celebrate our birthday, and then celebrate our married moments until someday we would be ‘celebrated’ by everyone when our life is end. All of them is a Celebration of Life.

Photoshop, AE, Lightroom and hours of sleepless nights... :) • (5 years and 2556 days ago)

• The Eighth Dragon Gate / 第八龙门 [Dì bā lóngmén] is a fictional Chinese digital painting made with Photoshop by the forsaken artist (don't worry it's not my real name) after finished the first war (Ko PS Tournament Round 1).

• A self terror weapon from long forgotten oriental war continues its search for victims to destroy, even though both sides of the war annihilated themselves aeons ago. Without the correct command to stop it, the deadly dragon emperor will continue to carry out its mission indefinitely.

The English translation of the Chinese literature:

• 龙王再以复活
Lóngwáng zài yǐ fùhuó
The Rise of The Dragon Emperor

• 孙悟空传奇
Sūn Wùkōng Chuánqí

This piece of art is a tribute to friends at Robot Entertainment which designed the great Gnoll Hunter for OMD (Orcs Must Die)! You guys rock!

My creation was done digitally with Paint Tool SAI, Adobe Photoshop and finally enhance the details with Adobe Lightroom. Of course with the help of my graphic tablets, this piece of art could be unleashed today just before the deadline running out!

Techniques I’ve been used are standard and basic concepts; from gray-scale into color (overlay) layers. Initially start from sketch, colors, to details with my own custom brushes. No external images applied besides the source image. (5 years and 2606 days ago)

This piece of art is my dedication to the nature itself because I love mountains and mystical creatures.

Techniques I’ve been used is a matte painting inside Adobe Photoshop and digital painting with PaintTool SAI. Lots of chops from the source image as well as textures to cover the Stone Sentinel’s body, dirt and manipulate the surroundings; all with my graphic tablets.

No external images required in the process.

Brush in Photoshop is required to clip masks the source image and Brush with paper texture in SAI is applied to summon the one and only Stone Sentinel with its dirt around the environment and the ‘Stone Sentinel Slayer’.

Hope you like my creation; because I had a lot of fun to complete this artworks.

Thanks for viewing (also to my WIP field) and have a great time! (5 years and 2592 days ago)
