Photoshop Editing

Ok, so I've been bored lately. Now, many of you know that a bored Nouta is very dangerous, but I've actually been keeping out of trouble. I've been tooling around with photoshop and coloring in manga pages or recoloring various things for people. Here's a little sample:

The World Only God Knows -- Before:


The World Only God Knows -- After:


My girlfriend wanted me to edit it in order for it to look like our RP characters. Since Keima already looks like Elywood, (my character) it was just a matter of making Miyo look like Tsukie. (her character)

ElyTsu Hentai -- Before:


ElyTsu Hentai -- After:


Another edit requested by my girlfriend in order for it to look like our RP characters. The only changes are that I tried to make the girl's hair blond and I changed her eye color. It looked fine as a .psd, but I forgot to compensate for the color changes when saving as a .jpeg, so it doesn't look much different from the original.

I'm taking requests for colorings or recolorings, because I really need to practice.

Good job, you've really improved.

I've received lessons.

Funny how photobucket killed off one, but not the other. *shrugs* Photobucket is a pain in the ass.

Luckily I saw the other before it died...nice color changes. Didn't ruin the image at all. =)

Wondering what tools you used in the process. Also photobucket seems to block one of your images

I used the brush, and the eraser. That's really it. @_@ It's all about method.

to make coloring easier, use selection freehand tool to outline the area and then use color adjustment to change the color and intensity.

Yeah. I have a bit of a different method. I use a lot of different layers and such. That's for the manga scan coloring, that is. Recoloring is just that--recoloring.

Hmm there is no actual need to recolour for the manga picture. For that picture, you can really cheat and select the area within the lineart using the lasso tool then use the thing called Colour Balance under layer => adjustments in photoshop. Add lots more red and yellow until you get bedge for skin. Then, go to the options Curves, which is also under adjustments, to give more depth to the skin. You can also change the saturation/hue of the picture to change it to a different colour. Give it a try =)

Wow, I never knew that. Thanks for the tip!

Also, another coloring job I did today:

Elywood/Keima -- Before:


Elywood/Keima -- After:

Noutakun, your stuff is pretty good. The fact that your recolors and coloring seems natural to the image is great. If you really want to challenge your self at coloring, try working with some clean lineart and work from scratch(on shading and such).

Also, forgive me for never getting that sig finished so long ago -_-.

xD Don't worry about the signature--I might end up making another one of my own sooner or later. Right now, I have one I made on my profile. And yeah, I'll certainly try that for practice. ;3 Thanks for the tip.

Alright, it was late at night when I was finishing this one, so I realize it's a little sloppier than the others. Here goes nothing:

Tsukie -- Before:


Tsukie -- After:

I made two signatures out of pictures today. Both of them are for Tsukie and I.



and

[font=Tahoma]I wish I knew how to do that. T___T.

I have photoshop and all, but I have trouble doing the simplest things on there.

-sigh-

Anyway, all of your work is really good. Like someone else said, it does feel like the colors fit the picture nicely - keep up the good work.[/font]

I might post the tutorial for how I did this later. The tutorial was actually made for me by a friend. It's how I learned. Before she taught me, I was pretty lame, but now I can do things like this.

Also, thank you for your encouragement. It's always nice to see a positive response to my work.

[font=Tahoma]No problem, and the tutorial part sounds great.

It'll probably give me something to do other than look up porn.[/font]
