I'm attending a season of ΙΤ courses for unemployed people with the ultimate goal of finding a job from this process. We're learning programming, making data bases... and Photoshop! That's right, I'm finally learning how to play with Photoshop :D

These are my very first pictures, after playing around with filters, liquify and mixing photos together.

Of course this is just the beginning, but I can't wait to use all those new knowledge in my upcoming pictures of my cities of the future *:D *;)

Woww! Super! *:thumb:  Terring, I could use Photoshop as well, but the most important thing is i'm lack of that so called "artistic talent", but you got this talent, and CB @Cyclone Boom,*;) E.g. that running car, I couldn't draw a picture in my head as this style, and the bird in the forest, the background and the bird, they just mixed quite well. I mean i could make it but couldn't dream it.

 so i guess someday, you could use Photoshop to tell me what to make, Congratulations Terring!*:party:

Sincerely,

-- Raymond

    Thanks, Ray. And based on your work in SimCity, I'm pretty sure you can make incredible things in Photoshop *;)

    Some new pictures, with Superman flying over Piraeus and USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) orbiting around the Moon.

    Woww! Terring, Did you make this pictures with PS or they had been lots somewhere? I could only recognize some of Peg? the style of those green circle shape buildings(dunno how to say it) is kind of the same as the one i was working on, but the project paused a bit due to recent research.

    My son pretty like Superman, he asked me to model one, but it's too hard for me now, *:D Anyway, it's the Cori's image in my mind… No offence Cori.*:D@CorinaMarie

    My boy suggest me to watch it with him, but haven't got a chance yet, is that called 'super girl or woman'?*:blush:

    Yours,

    -- Raymond

    Thanks :D

    All the above pictures have been made by getting various images from the Internet or from SimCity and mixing them by using Photoshop, plus some extra brushing to make the fumes of the aircrafts. They're mostly a mosaic, but with more advance knowledge of Photoshop using you can make things so incredible that you can't tell the difference between a real and an edited picture.

    Spoiler

    By the way, the buildings with the green circles are the Quandrahedron Matrix, originally made by @2ch.net simplayer. It's a set of plop-able futuristic buildings with jobs and bridges that can be build in a way to make a network of those buildings, a "matrix" if you prefer. The original version suffers from a plop-without-a-building bug, so @Zelgadis made an alternative version of the Quandrahedron Matrix that fixes the problem by removing the jobs altogether, making them also more flexible so you can build them anytime and anywhere you wish. Zelgadis' version comes with 4 lots: standalone, dead end with 1 bridge, 2 bridges as corner and 2 bridges in a straight line, and I made a kind of expansion that adds T and + intersections.

    I've always been jealous of people with visual arts skills. Great pictures, I like the Gary Frank Superman (it's from The World Of New Krypton, a great storyline from maybe 12 years ago). His cousin is Supergirl.

    OK, let me explain the joke *:D *:P

    This guy is not me. He's Chad Kroeger, the singer of the Canadian rock band Nickelback. In 2005, a music video for the song "Photograph" was released, which begins with Chad walking alone on a street, while holding up a framed picture of himself and Nickelback's producer Joey Moi, as the lyric "Look at this photograph, every time I do it makes me laugh" is heard in the background.

    I just made a funny parody of this scene, showing Pinkie Pie instead *:lol:

    I recently made two banners for my Welcome to Fairview CJ with the valuable help of my sister. I used a cool NASA style font I found here, a futuristic ball I found here, and two beautiful images of Fluttershy and Princess Luna made by Russian artist RacoonKun. Yes, he gave me his permission for as long as I indicate his authorship.
