Photoshop and Halloween fun

Having some fun with photos taken of my wife, daughter and myself from Halloween in our Peter Pan, Wendy and Tinkerbell outfits. I comped this together with a painted background in a pretty short time. Plenty more I could do, but I had to call it done before we went to visit the in-laws for a family dinner. It was lots of fun. Tight time tables can be quite liberating, and it feels nice to get something done so quickly.

Hokum Attack Helicopter

Hokum attack helicopter created for Wild Pockets' upcoming game I-Copter. It is another low poly model at 4132 tris. This model is to serve as the craft for the player, so the higher poly count (compared to the regular enemy craft) is essential for closer views in the store and during any potential cinematics.
Made in 3DS Max and hand painted textures in photoshop (1024 - Diffuse/Specular/hastily done Bump map - no time for a nice Normal map).

Gabbie's Garden Illustration

A while back I began an illustration project for Gabbie's Garden™ LLC, an organic food line for children (www.gabbiesgarden.com). It has been a little while in coming, while they have worked out some details, but they now have a teaser website up for the upcoming product with my illustration at the top. I'm not sure yet when the final product will be available in stores, but hopefully soon.

The square object on a plate at the bottom is a placeholder for where a picture of the food itself is planned to be shown. Painted in Photoshop with sketches in pencil, we worked on this off and on for a number of months. What do you think? Would your toddler like it?

Photoshop Magic

A co-worker of mine is getting married soon and moving to Washington. As part of an engagement present (or Wedding present I guess), I fixed up a photo of him and his bride-to-be using the trusty old Photoshop Magic Filter. What? You don't know of the Magic Filter? It's fantastic, you choose it and it does whatever you need - automatically. You wonder where this fantastic feature resides within Photoshop, well I can't tell you as I would be violating the Artist Code.
Can you spot the fixes?
