Tobias Reaper

I have no qualms whatsoever in admitting the fact that I am totaly demented, when it comes to computer games. If you wanna find out a real crazy games maniac strolling around, no pitstops, it would be me of course...

The photoshop painting down below features one of my all-time favorite game, Hitman. Who can forget this character, Tobias Reaper, aka.. Silent Assassin.. the core character of the game.




Project: Tobias Reaper
Softwares Used: Photoshop and Photoshop only {that is all I know for time being}
Time Taken: 3 hrs to be precise..
Satisfaction: Is there any term that I could use after "zenith"?

Double-click on the image.... it's a small size.. so wouldn't take much of yo time to get it kickstarted...

Cricket Mania!!!


With cricket fever running high in my mind, just couldn't sit idle..... After an exhausting seven-hours of slogging in Photoshop, this is the end result.... It's a fact that can't be hidden that the Indian batting lineup has always been vulnerable to sheer pace and bounce.... Double-click on the image for a short bit of animation.....
P.S.: It might take a minute or two for the image to get downloaded for animation... Danka... for the patience...

Gone with the Wind


Mist-laden paths, dew-filled grass blades, with a melancholic windmill in the backdrop is what I imagined.. and this is what it turned out to be.. Double-click on the image for the wind blades to churn out some wind.......

My first animated GIF image...

A little surge of happiness ran through my body upon completion of what I would call my first GIF image... and that too an animated one. You can call it Pursuit of Happyness.

The reason being that whenever I come across animated images cascading down the windows, be it advertisements or webpages, I keep wondering myself, how in the world do these people end up animating such complicated models. I always craved of creating one such, thanks to Photoshop.....I ended up with one at last.

A pretty simple image created here. Double-click on the image for the desired animation effect. Any comments or feedback... lock and load yourself and shoot one at me any time...

Antzinator!!!

Well.... well... when it comes to my favorite movies, the list goes on and on, but my all-time favorite one is none other than the action-packed blockbuster, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, one of the best action flicks ever made. Well, to be precise, I have managed to watch this movie no less than 100 times at least.

Every now and then I come across this phrase, "to put ourselves in other person's shoes" --- pun intended.. I simply wanted to have this magical feel of how I would fit this picture... Well.. to be frank enough, I was quite satisfied the very way it turned out to be.... check it out...

The original picture, who could forget this one, the great Arnie posing majestically with the priceless double-barrelled shotgun, seated on a Harley....


A slight tint of Photoshop work laced into the picture, and Voila!!!! The title should have read Antzinator.... teeheee...


A guilty conscience pestering me from inside for tarnishing the original image. Being an Arnie fan, I wouldn't even dare do that... so a suitable background was all what it needed. I was in search of a gothic background, with mystic peaks and dark swollen clouds ready to burst open at any instance. After scanning quite a lot, the background being selected....

the final shot...

Any suggestion or comments on the above, always welcome...

Dhoni - The Destroyer

After the recent T20 World Cup victory, it's Team India and captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni that's hogging the limelight all around... of course, they deserve it to be. Well, I just couldn't keep myself idle, meddling with the following pictures.




I am a great fan of Arnie (Arnold Schwarzenegger), making sure I never miss any of his flicks. Not that this iconic personality is much more of an action hero, but his larger-than-life screen presence is what captivates all.






MS Dhoni, the captain of the victorious Team India. Well... sensing that there is something common between the two of them...




with this breathtakingly beautiful lava field erupting in the background...




this is what I tried to figure out....




P.S. No star or personality was hurt during the making of this photo
