Medieval UT Tower
I just wanted to use some new tools learned in class, and so I decided to create a composition about UT. My idea was: what if UT had a Medieval era?
Here is the original picture:
And here is the result:
The Draghorn is made of a mix from a Longhorn, a Velociraptor and an Eagle.

A Nazi man receives a Raptor in-between giant flowers
That's not every day that I get to draw something fun. Firstly because I never draw. Secondly because I really never draw. My handwriting is awful enough to remind me to stay away from pencils and anything close to painting creation.
Which is why, when we get that assignment to create a photoshop painting from an idea generator, I freaked out.
But then, I have to admit, the fun of creating a nazi man receiving a velociraptor in-between giant flowers helped me a bit to reconsider my skills. So after finding references online, I started painting. And man, I really, really sucked. So much that if my computer was a sheet of paper, I would have throw it away angrily (instead I was only able to wave angrily my arms with sounds of frustration.)
But I knew we were allowed to do anything we needed to achieve the painting, so I found some nice pictures of a mountain, and I just draw on it. Yes, that's cheating, but seriously, I can't draw.
But after a while I realized that this method wasn't that bad. I was only using 3 colors, and it gave a style to the image, and at the end I was even a little bit proud of it.
Then I created a tree and made it a brush, which allowed me to create the forest. The grass brush already existed.
And finally, the two characters and the flower. I used the same technique as for the mountain, and it worked pretty well. I can't draw, but at the end, I created a composition.
Now it's definitely not perfect. I don't know how to make it look nicer, and not like an element on another. That will be for next time....
