PhotoshopCafe Design Challenge 8 Entry #2 - Legend Blender


This is my final entry #2 for PhotoshopCafe Design Challenge. Ideas association came from "Blending Modes" to "Food Blender".

The conceptualisation and link up between blender and blending modes was the key. Searching for a blender picture proves to be the hardest possible task which led to me posting a photo request for the blender shot on SXC.hu. Mark Anderson (4score) took a great photo of a blender and gave it to me for the work. So kudos to Mark that this piece was finally made and done. Over 200 hours of work in tweaking, ideas, making and everything in it.

Have actually created a Blender entry previously, as you can see below, but decided to redo it, for a more game-ish and impactful feel.

Blend o' Street


This was originally my 2nd Entry for Design Challenge 8. The conceptualisation and link up between blender and blending modes was the key.

Have since abandoned this work for "Legend Blender" for a more game-ish feel.

PhotoshopCafe Design Challenge 8 Entry #1 : Sponge Achromatopsia


This is my 1st and already submitted entry for PhotoshopCafe's Design Challenge 8. Sponge Achromatopsia, idea came "Sponge Tool", giving a tool a life of a character. "Achromatopsia" means total and complete colourblindness which is the association with Sponge Tool's desaturation abilities.

Who let the Birds Out?! Anti Woman Shopaholics (Battle with Barry Downard)


Many instances contributed to the eventual idea, i.e. The Shopping Cart, MK and etc... It was a battle with Barry Downard, a.k.a dogtrombone, to digitally story tell and do something with our individually chosen 3 images (total 6 images).

Gruelling battle project because Barry gave a high bar to match. Then again, its good practice for someone returning to photoshop after months.

My skills have not rusted yet, fortunately.

The Toilet


Can the Toilet be art? To me, angles, lightings, arrangements, typography are all forms of art.

Which Side Are You On?


How does it feel when the one you value the most no longer trust you and chose to trust someone who tried to make you the scapegoat? It feels simply like this, a colourful world eaten up by darkness or the bland black and white world dominated by untruths.

Which side are you on? Not on mine I knew it.

"Which Side Are You On?" won in Amateur Photoshop Club's audition for Creativs Magazine and would be published.

There was just so much sadness within me at one particular point in time where all my artworks were based on loneliness.

I have to say that I'm not emo (Well, there's only 1 emo lord and I don't wanna fight with him over the much coveted title). But there are times that you can be this sad, when you lost someone you really care for.

Just a photo retouch on myself. Give it a punky look, smooth skin, red hair and hostel neighbour thought which cool guy it was. Oh man, please, I'm "Elaine" and a girl!

I sure look suave, I never deny that.

Love Can Be Murder
Love Can Be Murder

Frankie say we will make a poster with body parts and theme can be freely interpreted for the rayVScfire challenge.

I took a wicked and gruesome approach. So Love can be murder. A jaded jilted man is cruel. If you can't have her, take her (life).
