I can't draw but...

[Precise Calibre]

I've decided to throw some of my stuff into the mix. I can't draw to save my life, but photo-editing has always been one of my hobbies. So I'll pop a few things out here to see what people think. Unfortunately as far as human subjects go, I've been pretty much limited to myself

This is an old pic I made to represent myself in an old Neverwinter Nights camnpaign I used to play with friends.

Here's a picture of myself done up as a "ranger" of sorts.

and finally

One I call "Flight of Fancy".

I have some others lying around, but I have to dig them up. Dying hard drives have a tendency to scatter one's work quite efficiently.

These are fascinating.

Since I know nothing about photo editing, and can't even take photographs anyway, I'm afraid I can't comment on the technical details.

I know nothing about photo editing But really like the first one! Atmospheric and all that

Very good. I've played around in photoshop, but never achieved anything like these.

I also love the first one -- very brooding -- and if you hadn't said, I'd have assumed it was a painting. It's interesting you've gone for a long version, to bring in the sinister shadow at the top left: I'd have probably cut it at the top, so as to bring the eye at the third-way point which would have lost that effect completely. Well done.

 

[Precise Calibre]

I'll throw these in. Since I haven't made anything new, I'll get my old stuff out first.

This is a pic I made as a concept for one of my villains. Again... just working with myself as a medium.

And finally...

This is an inside joke with a few people with which I used to go to school. People who didn't know me would always be frightened by my proclamation that "The End is Near!".

Also, thanks for the compliments guys! TJ, I have to admit I have a passing knowledge as to the proper placement of colors and shades within a picture for a particular effect, but I don't really even try to think of such things. I do everything by instinct, or whatever looks right to me.

Nice work Precise Calibre, keep at it and you'll be a master of the craft. I too like to have fun with picture altering, but I am an illustrator of fantasy, mostly for fun.
