Oldschool selfie

i was gonna make some pixel art

but quickly gave up after all the clicking

i still used what i had though

oldskool photoshop was crashing so i opened

the image in krita and converted it to 48bit

and started the work. this is the first time

in krita ive used opacity masks. or at least

"painted" away things in layers i didnt want.



using 16bpp made a lot of difference in how

the photoshopping turned out. otherwise itd

probably just been a mess. which it is now.

but ordered chaos! as you can see, i added

an old selfie and a stock photo of some gem



also added this pic into it

this was made with an online oscilloscope

pretty much like eurocrack, very addictive

i took a bunch of screenies then joined

them together the other day. figured it

would make a good cover, then i remembered

it today. its messy, but, you can still see

my eyes. and its details. just like how i

like art. i really only see it in my own stuff.

dont really notice many others doing this style.

and its oldskool. like 10 years ago or even 20.

i did start to photoshop 31 years ago. so its

been quite a journey. heres the final version

really final. dont feel like doing much more today.

in anything... really, except for listening to music.



this is without the other pic sandwiched in and before

some other changes i did with it added. its 48bit so if

you wanna print it or something itll look smashing. try

giclee prints. unfortunately i converted it to 24bit after

this for the final photoshopping. basically, with 48bit



or even 72bit, 32bits per pixel, you can print it in higher

quality than screens can show. the colours will really pop

out like nothing else. now this one is pretty muted though.

not much gaussian blur. anyway, hope you enjoy ^_____^

looks best at around 700 x 700 pixels.

where i edited it at resolution.
