This Looks Shopped...

   So, recently I got bored and discovered that my photoshop skills could finally come in handy.  I was looking for something interesting and suitably awesome to use as my signature for the guild forums.  Upon seeing nothing that interested me via a Google search, I whipped out the old image editor and set to work, ripping a posed image of my current character model from the armory.  I gave my character a flaming Stratholme setting for her background, and created some makeshift embers with the program, and it came out looking like this.



After I made the one, I uploaded it to Photobucket and set it as my signature on the site.  But, I figured that once people discovered the sheer awesomeness of the picture, they might want one as well.  I made one for my brother, even though I haven't showed it to him yet, so I don't know if he'll want it.


It's equally epic, if not more.  I like to think that he's bashing a helpless gnome's skull in, but that's just me.  Anyway, that cow is brutally ending something.  For this one, I downloaded some bloodsplatter paintbrushes, and looked up tutorials for making smoke and making text glow.  The setting's in front of the Auchindoun in the Terokkar Forest's Bonewastes.

Afterward, I posted a thread on the guild forums advertising that I am willing and able to create these images for my fellow guildmates.  I will gradually get better at this, so I'm excited.
