Goddess Eris...
This is the representation of the goddess Eris. She is the goddess of discord and chaos, and so I did a lot of editting for this image. In the end, I probably had close to seven layers, and I did a lot of distorting, and playing with the hues and saturations. The stream was actually from a hand firework, and the picture turned out as just a red stream of light. Then I distorted that picture with another picture that was very colorful, and when I took the picture, it looked like someone was moving quickly, even though it was a still picture. I really like the overall picture and portrays the chaos perfectly. :) I know, this picture is really different from my usual work, but I really like it. ;)

Portraits
This is my favorite portrait out of all of them. It really does emphasize her, and not the background, but it still gives it the kiddish feel because of the bright colors. The flash is a little annoying because it makes her look extra pale, but it, again, really emphasizes the colors, and the kid-like feel.

Colors...true colors
This picture I am most proud of. I was a little nervous to play with the paintbrush to create better clouds, but it turned out pretty good, in my opinion. The theme was overcoming fear. :) 2 thumbs up *2 pats on the back*

Neon Glow
Music Montage
I really don't like how the overall montage turned out. I Should have smoothed the edges of the people, so it looks like one image. It just look likes a crappy collage. I like the background, but that also is a little too blury, so I could have enhanced the colors a bit. Overall, I think that I could have done a lot better job. My favorite picture of all these is the singer in the middle because its the only real picture that I got of the girl (my little sister) smiling. She's just having a great time, which is what real singers and musical people are attempting to do in their career: have fun!
The reason I did this type of montage is because music is such a huge influence on me, and I wanted to do something that would show who I really am. I distorted the colors to show that it may seem innatural, but at the core of it, it's what's real to some people. The diferent people is just different pictures of the same girl, and it's because there's so many possibilities with just one perspective. Like I said about the singer, she's smiling, and looks like she's genuinely having fun, which is what singers and music groups are doing: having fun. Even though it turned out like crap, I think it still portrays the message I wanted it to.

Light to Dark House
This picture that I took was taken after school in daylight, down by Oconomowoc Lake. The house was on top of a hill in a snowy scene, so I put the setting on for a bright snowy scene, it being light out and a snowy scene. Then I did the rest in Photoshop, changing the curges and hues and brightness.I added the fog on the bottom of the picture and the stars at the top by using the paintbrush. The stars were created by the shape of the paintbrush, and I just had the paintbrush set on normal for the fog, just at a very light grey. I also used the blur tool to soften the fog and intensity of the darkness.
