squids
For this image, I used the eraser tool to make it appear as if the monster was coming from behind the mountain, and then I used the blur tool to blur the monster to make it appear as if the monster was distant from the foreground. I then used smart blur to give the picture a slight digital texture in certain areas. The burn tool was also greatly used throughout this picture to give shadow and make the images appear as if the squid and the monster were natural to the photo. I then used the smudge tool to give small ripples to the squid's tentacles resting in the water, and the blur tool, once again, to make it look as if the tentacles of the squid could be seen throught the water.
reinvented
For this image, I started of with the eraser tool to make the keyboard appear as if it was coming out of the ground. I then used the blur tool on the tree to make it appear as if it was glimmering and surrounded by a bubble. I then typed in the word "Reinvented," used warped text to give it a round curve, and then chose a layer style to my liking to give it that bright outline. I gave the keyboard a brick texture, and gave the whole picture a grain texture, which helped lower the pixelation of the picture. I added a light gradient to the groud, to make it appear as if the keyboard was giving a broad shadow. I finally added a lens flare behind the keyboard to make it seem as if the letters of the word "Reinvented"were very bright, causing light to seem to bounce across the lens of the camera. I, last but not least, used the burn tool on the keyboard to give it an aged look.
