Transforming myself into my angry avatar

It took only one lesson for me to remove the bottom half of my face onto the first picture. It was hard aligning the face to fit in with my other face. When I finally aligned both of the images, there was a clear line separating the two. So I decided to smudge the line in between the two images so they would look as if they were apart of the same picture. It actually worked, after a little bit of fiddling with the image.

(I'm sorry to say but the computer I'm working on won't allow me to put the image up on here at the moment so when it will allow me to do so I will put up the photo of the images mushed together.)

Avatar- what photos will i use?

For my first avatar I looked all over the internet for a photo that would show the emotions that my avatar would show. But unfortunaly i couldn't find any so I decided to take some photos of me to transform myself into the Watrins race! Here is my photos for angry of me. It took me about a week and a half to complete this image.
















I merged these two images together to create my angry avatar. I cut the mouth out and placed it on the first image then realised it didn't work. So I cut out the bottom half of my face and placed it on the first image. I think it looks better like that, the two images look much better when they are mushed together. P.S my second image isn’t the best picture of me so I pretty much dislike it and as soon as Mr Powell marks it, it will be taken of immediately so just letting you know could you tell me when you have marked it so I can delete it asap! There is also some weird thing happening with the underlining which I donn't really know what is happening with that? So sorry!

Photoshop creations

These aren't ones I have made but I thought they looked cool and I couldnt even tell if they had been photoshoped!

































































Can you see the elephant? :D

Secrets inside the Watrins people

I wanted to create a race of people that would be a little like me with my swimming that is. So I said that the Watrins race would live in the water and only come on land to hunt for food which was mostly wild berries, fresh spring water, herbal plants, fruits grown on trees and sometimes deer (but not often). The reason they have picked up this habit of eating is because about 50 years ago they found a strange but beautiful island. Where they were curious, so they went onto the land. They discovered that the island was lush with a green rainforests and on the beaches were numerous tide pools which were full of shellfish and starfish. The Watrins people began to eat the shellfish after a while from the tide pools but used the starfish as jewellery. They ate the food off the trees, fruit mostly, the Watrins people’s favourite food is the coconut especially the inside of it. The food they have to eat in the water is a special type of seaweed that grows at the bottom of the ocean. It has the power to help the Watrins breathe underwater so they can last longer in the water without having to surface for air. Watrins can survive underwater for about 2 hours in one breathe but will have to keep resurfacing if they don’t eat the seaweed. They normally eat it before they are about to go to sleep. At the bottom of the sea is where they live, they build their homes out of sand which are more like little piles of sand. The Watrins live under the sand piles to camaflage in with the other sand so they can rest in the day and go out at night since it is more likely they would be spotted in the day. The Watrins race as they are kinda related to Possidens god of the sea, they can control the conditions of the water which makes this easier for them to defeat their enemies. If they were ever in a battle they can see their enemies next move coming since they can read minds, which all of the species can do. Their skin can sence someones or somethings presence from over 1km away. This is useful for being able to be ready for anything, an attack from an enemy or seeing a fellow Watrins. They have great eyes due to their big eyes being able to see in the dark. The Watrins race talk to each other in a language that is mostly made up of dolphine clicks. Which only the Watrins can understand and speek.

pErSoNaLiTy PrOfIlE

My race of people are called the ‘Watrins’ the people of this race are kind and caring. Even though they are related to sirens but are very different, they don’t drown sailors, they don’t travel alone and they don’t let anyone see them. All the Watrins people never leave the group, only when they are hunting.

They live in water-based habitats and sometimes on land. They love the tropical climates of Earth because it is warmer in the water. When they are frightened they hide in the water since they hate anyone seeing them. But if it is a threat to their survival they will team up with their people and fight. When these people are angry or frustrated they grow long fangs for fighting, to scare away the enemy. They are the unholy offspring of death itself; this is how they are born relatives to sirens.

The Watrins people are the same average size as a teenage human, they have huge eyes that change colour. The colour of the eyes and the look of the eyes depend on the mood of the Watrins people. Watrins people are able to live in the water and on land. When they enter the water their feet turns to a tail. For girls their tails are more like small pink scales attached to their bodies. While for the guys tails are a strong blue colour throughout their tail. And when they come out of the water their tails disappear and their natural selves come out.

Colours and Emotions





Mr Powell showed us this image in class and told us that different colours can effect the mood of someone in a picture.

Dangers of Photoshop

Even though we know how fun Photoshop is to use and make various creations. There are some people out there who take Photoshop for their own advantages. For example fake IDs, bullying, identity theft, lying and deserving people. Many people think that this is alright to do and they wont be found out, but it isn't and sometime soon they will be caught. Bullying is found all over the world, but sometimes bullies take this to an extreme level by using Photoshop to make it look like people are doing something they are not.
