Celebrating Fortune's Narcissism
 
Here are three digital self-portraits.
Done with the help of a webcam and Adobe Photoshop 7.
For my own thirst of self-celebration :P

Since, as I've said above, they're all self-portraits, I'm particularly jealous of these pictures: please, don't use, link and/or post them outside the PS2Fantasy Gallery!
Thanks! :right:

To be only a webcam, it seems the photos are pretty good, speaking of quality. But maybe it's the cool editing to make them look so smooth... I used to own a webcam, but the quality of the shots was terribly poor... That's why I hate them and I'm not going to buy a new one :mad:

Pu the Owl Mar 28th, 2003 05:54 PM

The webcam is not that good. The editing was enough to make the images look a bit better.

Those webcams are stupid, especially when you just have dial-up for the internet! Well, good work!

happy_doughnut Mar 28th, 2003 10:15 PM

Whoa, Fortune... your skill is really impressive ! All of your arworks are always excellent, and this is no exception ! :happy:

Really, you are too pretty :( These images are really, really great. Especially for having used a webcam. All the webcams always seem like crap. -_-

Again, they're great. The second one is so... pretty. You look a celebrety ! :D

Very nice Fortune. :shock: I like the placement of the pictures...and it doesn't even look like you used a webcam. O_O All 3 are so pretty, but I'd have to say that the second one is my favorite. I like the colors...very dark, mysterious...:D Plus, I like how you used Deus ex Machina. :)

Pu the Owl Mar 29th, 2003 05:41 AM

Ahah, thanks for the comments! In reality, it's not that I'm so in love with me or with my webcam to decide to use my face like that. Well, in fact I know where this hate against webcams comes from... They're tricky little objects which are never very polite enough to help you when you need it!

I have another one, but this is not for weak stomachs (well, just kidding...).

Murder?

It's a sort of joke. Boredom is a dangerous thing sometimes...

I definatly agree with that... it makes you look like a singer, and the first two pictures in particular would look wonderful on an album cover or CD, as would "murder" (where I love the "old film" style that it seems to have)

My favorite is probably the first... I like the colour and the angle just rocks... plus it makes you look pretty... too pretty :mad:

:laugh:

anyways, have you ever considered designing covers etc. as a career? you'd be pretty damned good at it! (assuming that you don't already... i'm not exactly sure what you do for a living!)

Your "Murder?" kinda reminds me of Silent Hill's style of graphics.

... or am I just plain crazy ?

Pu the Owl Mar 29th, 2003 09:17 AM

Well, actually, with the murder one, I was only trying to give the impression of something antique and dusty, something similar to one of those old photos from the beginning of the XX century. It seems that a bit of dust nowadays automatically reminds people of Silent Hill :laugh: But it's good, because Silent Hill is indeed an excellent example of rusty&dusty style...

Artist: yes, when I was younger I wanted to make albums' covers and collages among the other things. At the moment, I do it only for pleasure ( I'm still a student, I don't have a proper work :heh: ), but who knows, maybe in the future...

yea it was a compliment dont worry gal ;)

I agree with the things that have been said about you looking like a star. I think the second one would look beyt as an album cover, you look good.

Gadzoox Mar 30th, 2003 11:33 AM

Wow!!! These are really beautiful!!!

PERFECT use of layers and brushes (from nocturna.net ?!), not to mention colour... just wonderful work girly!!! The composition and use of images adds to the feel of these too!! Pretty pretty!!! :happy:

Pu the Owl Mar 30th, 2003 11:58 AM

Some of the brush sets used in these pics are from V-Brush, the others are mine :heh: But I do use nocturna's brushes sometimes too! :D

merylsilverburg Mar 30th, 2003 04:16 PM

Ooh Fortune, the "Murder" pic reminds me of that game "Shadow of Destiny" and a little bit of "Silent Hill". Great job! :happy:

Oh, wow, thanks for the link too!

Pu the Owl Apr 1st, 2003 06:51 PM

No problem Zoox :) As you can see, that V-Brush main page has also many links to other brush sites. It's really useful!

Meryl, ohhh thanks for comparing the last image to Shadow of Destiny's style! That's a great compliment for me :happy:

Piggle_humsy Apr 2nd, 2003 12:29 PM

I like the second one the best! cool!

Very good work tho!

Piggle :roll:
