I tend to make very strange pieces of "art", especially if it's for work outside of class. My next creation was made using Photopea editor, which I find quite easy to use. I this call this piece, "Uhhhhhhh". This work had a chaotic process, but ended with me using tools I don't normally touch. It was originally just going to be the dolphin, but I also managed to add a few more bits in the picture, almost like easter eggs. I find Photopea easy to use due to how incredibly similar it is to Photoshop, but it's slightly limited in certain categories. One of which being the use of the Quick Selection tool, which drives me nuts, since I really like that tool. As you can see, parts of the dolphin look pixelated and sloppy, as the selection tool is not as accurate as the Photoshop counterpart. It still functions perfectly fine, but it's much more of a hassle to use. And while I may not have used it in this specific piece, the use of paintbrush colors on Photopea are also limited to only 10 swatches, but you can still manually choose a specific hue on the color wheel, which makes up for it. Due to the limits of the software, I ended up trying to add more parts to the picture, hoping to draw attention away from the bad parts. The process with the family of Loch-Ness Monsters in the back went much more smoothly. I had to use the magnetic lasso tool to select the original picture, since the quick selection tool was refusing to cooperate. But after duplicating the image a few times, I also used the clone stamp to add a slight shading effect to the neck, which worked out very well. The hidden piece of the image is the "Goose God" in the corner, which was very straight forward to make. 1: Cut out every part of the image except for the head and neck, 2: Make its eyes a gaping hole, 3: Lower the opacity, 4: Marvel at your masterpiece. This work was put off to the side for awhile since I was busy, but honestly, this is beautiful.
