Description Yes! My first-ever decent Photoshop drawing... and because I could, I added music!

EDIT: The music has since been removed, because Flash killed the image quality. If anyone knows how to get around this, please tell!

Spent a couple afternoons/nights figuring out Photoshop and attempting Flash. (Flash still confuses the heck out of me.) I think I'm in love with the smudge tool.

This was supposed to be a random guy, but it ended up looking like Henry Townshend from Silent Hill 4, so I decided to go with it. Yeah, his hair's different, but I did add on his perpetual five o'clock shadow. I completely messed up Henry's head, but ah well. The title refers to Henry's memories of his visit to Silent Hill, because apparently he'd been there before. As for the leaves... I think I have a thing for them. They sort of look like feathers, though. Ah well, again.

While you're looking at this, check out Gentle by Isaac Shepard, from his piano solo album Deep Joy. I was listening to this song, and thought it was perfect for the pic.

Photoshop, Wacom pen tablet.

ANOTHER EDIT: Fixed up some stuff, mostly the lips, chin and hair. 8/23/10

Thank you, Henry is pleased. It used to be a Flash with music... but Flash kills image quality, apparently. Ah well.

Have fun at it! I don't think I'll be using Photoshop for a while. I think I still like traditional art better.

only a whole night?! Dang, you beat me by alot. It took me 3 day's to figure out how to LOAD flash stuff, and even then it didn't work

Oh, Flash confuses me so much. -_-'

So, is everything okay with the drawing? Does the quality... suck? I think it looks a bit blurry.

Storms-shadow In reply to driftwoodwolf [2010-07-19 15:13:42 +0000 UTC]

nah, after you unloaded the music it sharpened up abit. AND you have the ability to know where to put things in a drawing. It's cool, serene and nice. It gave me peace just looking at it ><
That seem's like a long post.
Opps.

Thank you for the compliments! I liked the music, but the slight blurriness of it bothered me so much. Makes me feel better that's it's clearer, even if it's just a little bit. If I ever figure out how to add the music without killing image quality, I'll add it back on, for sure! Probably will take a couple of years, though. Argh.

No, your post wasn't long at all. I have seen much longer, trust me. XD

Yeah, I think I'm gonna get rid of the music for now. It kills the image quality.
