Best of Photomanipulations - Round One: "I've Seen a Fair Few Pixels in My Day..."

So, in my extensive work as an eighth-grade artist, I had a slight obsession with photoshop, and for some reason at least half of my works were composed of three basic elements:

A) A woman. It could be a close-up, an odd angle, or just a plain old, everyday chick, but that's pretty much all that existed stock-wise on the good ol' DA, and I was still in that, "I feel like a creeper working on pictures of guys, because I like them..." phase. Le sigh.
B) An everyday object. I kind of just picked whatever was cool looking and stuck in on there, then put them together.
C) An obscene amount of color. (That's not ever going to change, though, so I'm alright with that one.)

Here are a few of my favorites:

1) Green. Whoo hoo.

One of my most acclaimed works, this racked up a whopping 25 favorites, even despite the title that may define the term "undersell".

2) Roses Are Red...

I just kind of like this one. There isn't much to say about it, other than that...

3) Cloud 9

Originally named "Chillin'", because I am a complete failiure at naming things. Positives: An actually decent blend in some areas. Negatives: Quite clearly the work of an amateur. Even so, I took this stock photo from this girl's mom, and they both really liked it, so that's good enough for me.

4) Daisy

Another of my "big hits"... This one is actually one of my favorites, too, although it is Exhibit A in the case of my obsession with eyes. (I have an obsession with eyes. You'll probably spot it soon enough.)

5) Devilish

The last of this lovely collection... This tends to startle/upset my parents, but it is one of my favorites.


Anyway, there is a good sample of my body of work in that department...I moved on from that, for the most part, but now that I'm back on DA lord only knows what could happen.
Looking back on these has made me miss the old hue/saturation button, and my friend the blending options. Good times.
