Captain America

At ComicCon I took this picture of a guy dressed as retro Captain America. Using a halftone filter and a graphic pen filter I created the overlay effect. I added a sepia warming adjustment and blended a few textures to create the background, flag and paper texture. I like the overall effect but am not too happy with the bottom of the shield.

Neon Text Effect

Cool tutorial that was relatively simple. You have to look at the larger version to see all of the detail.

Commie Cosmonaut Pug

I found a fantastic (although long) tutorial to create this image. Using a series of stock images and tons of blending modes, I thoroughly enjoyed following this author's technique. I deviated a bit because several of the images he used were not available without a watermark (plus I had to work in an image of Barney :)

Tech Fair Logos

After yesterday's SDCUE board meeting I started tweaking with a few variations on a logo for the upcoming Tech Fair.

Grunge Pop Art Barney

Back to using one of my favorite subjects :)

Vintage Faux Instamatic

I used three different textures, a few blending modes and faux instamatic action set.

Revolution Stock Image

I found this image on deviantart.com. I made some tone adjustments, tweaked with the vibrance and clarity of the image, high pass filter, some curves and color balance. Dropped a slight lens correction and called it a day.
