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...

9/11

One can never forget this event, that rocked and shook the whole world, a great threat posed by terrorism to mankind....

9/11 event still afresh and painful...... Click on the image for a bit of animation...

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

Nice Picture

Hunk or Punk

All you girls please don't get impressed by any hunk so soon. Looks can be decieving.... well at least in this case.

Hail ho the Champions

If you were to ask any die-hard cricket fan what makes this day, the 24th of September, 2007, so special, you better head to the nearest hospital nursing your bruises for posing such a stupid question. Behold!!!! This day brings back the fond memories of the World Cup of 1983 that was snatched from the very jaws of Goliath (the mighty West Indies) by us. How in the world can one forget this day, for this very day, Team India has engraved its name imperishably in the annals of cricket history by defeating the indomitable Pakistan in the final to lift the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 trophy. And what a way to win it.

What a game this has been? Went right down to the wire. India won it, lost it, and finally won it by five runs. Indeed one of the best finals I have ever watched be it in any form of cricket. (Not for the fact that it showcased on the game's most intense rivalry an Ind-Pak final)


India's innings had begun with a false start. Yusuf Pathan (better known as Irfan Pathan's brother) a sturdy 24-year-old batsman from Gujarat, had never played for India, but Virender Sehwag was injured so his debut came in extraordinary circumstances. They couldn't get the boisterous start that they wanted, thanks to some real quality bowling display by Pakistan. With India 40 for two from six overs, a lot was expected from Yuvraj Singh. After six sixes in an over against England and a staggering 70 from 30 balls to oust Australia in the semi-finals, it was too much asking, succumbing to the pressure, dismissed for 14. The star who really mattered was Gautam Gambhir, the Indian left-hander, whose classy 75 from 54 balls and a brisk 30 off 16 balls by RP Sharma saw the score trudge past the 150 mark, ending their innings at 157/5.



After scrapping hard to get to 157 for 5 in the face of some tigerish bowling and fielding, India were inspired with the ball, and Pakistan appeared to be well out of contention with 54 needed from 24 balls and just three wickets in hand. But when Misbah thumped Harbhajan Singh for three sixes and Sohail Tanvir chipped in with a four-ball 12, the improbable became possible. With Misbah on strike, Pakistan needed 13 from the final over. After a great deal of thought, Mahendra Singh Dhoni gambled on the inexperienced Joginder Sharma. When he started with a wide, Indian fans groaned, and the situation became even more desperate when Misbah pummelled a full toss miles over long-off for six. But with victory in his grasp, his judgement failed him. Moving across his stumps, he went for the scoop down to fine leg. He didn't connect cleanly, and millions on the subcontinent held their breath as Sreesanth came under the ball at short fine leg. When he held it, the stadium erupted. Pakistan was bundled out for 152 with three balls to spare.

And it was a once-in-a-lifetime-experience that I had. Never have I witnessed Team India climbing the zenith, the last time around, being pathetically clobbered by the mighty Australians in the finals of the 2003 World Cup. Clearly confused over whether to watch the finals by bunking my class or catch up with the highlights on YouTube (which I usually do, for lack of an idiot box at my place), I disdainfully opted the latter; being a good boy attending classes.
Once the classes got over, a stone's throw away, I could figure out at least some hundred odd strangers gazing or 'Window Watching' so to speak at the huge LCD TV on display (screening the finals of course). I knew where I was heading to.

Photoshop Mazic...

Well... I always dreamt of havin the finest of the finest beers, ahem.. from the jazzy pubs of Los Angeles. A rendezvous to Los Angeles, courtesy Photoshop...

I am luvin it.....

Now that I am into Photoshop software.. wanted to have some real fun with it. A simple change of the background, plus a bottle or two of draught beer could change the whole scenario of what these two are upto.

The actual image, (my roomies, Sujith and Shibu) taken at some food joint in Spencer Plaza. The beverages served are strictly non-alcholic, to be precise, coffee and strawberry shake I guess.. Boy oh boy... from the very dazed eyes of the two, one can assume how stoned to the core both of them are...


Well... here'z the final touchup....

Well, the next time you spot me around with a swollen eye... no need to guess for too long.. courtesy in advance, the two punks shown above....
