The Monster Of the Rings! ..(..)..

Has ur mind ever pondered to think how they make those scary or fun-filled animated movies, with characters full of life? Or have u taken some time to think about those designers working at Pixar Animation Studios trying to conceive an animated creature for their movies? If not, im sure this blog will definitely make u think abt em. And if u already know wots in there, read it anyways for some fresh works by a person whoz my good buddy!
Yeah, it all originates from the strokes of a brush in an artist's hand or from the mouse strokes of a graphic designer... For all the challenges faced from converting a paperwork to a computer generated image to making it come to life, the graphic designing softwares come handy! Open up a blank page and start moving the optics of ur mouse, select those colors from a palette of over a billion colors, give the image ur finishing lines n shades and there u have it... A seemingly living image of the creature thatz been hitting ur mind ever since u started working on it. I've been a painter myself a couple of years ago until studies took me over it, and i have a fair knowldege of how an artist's mind works when he/she is working on the work. Its not about correcting those small mistakes in the picture nor about getting worried if some color spills over the desired region, all that a painter needs is a vintage looking image that has its own class of style and a sense of uniqueness that reflects his mind. And the graphic designers working on the computer with their softwares are no different in this front. The following picture proves it all... Take a good look at it first...



That scary scarred-face monster named "THE WARCRAFT ORC" is one such masterpiece created by Divya, a final year Visual Communications student. I have known her since the school days and this is not something that we cannot expect from her. All her works of art have deserved appreciations and THE WARCRAFT ORC is the best that i've seen among all of em. I bet, i would not have had the patience to sit in front of a glaring monitor to design an image, after all... Kudos to her! I named it THE MONSTER OF THE RINGS... lol... Itz the monster's nose ring that first caught my attention. Haha! And those deep-red eyes would definitely give u a feel of wot hell is like. Every pixel of work thats gone in is truly to be admired... And believe it, its all done with just Adobe Photoshop. All that I know to do with this piece of software is to edit pictures n give it some crazy effects...lol! No more descriptions, see it urself n spend some time thinking about it! And the best part of it all is that it creates an illusion of a real monster trying to tear ur screen apart n pop out... Lol, that'd be the worst nightmare! Enuf of this ORC.. I bet, u wud have had some idea about wot a graphic designer works on... As i said, it all begins with a drawing. Thanx Divya for letting me put this one on my blog, though its supposed to be copyrighted. And all the graphic designing fanatics, check out her site where shez posted her other works... Brad Pitt's is another of her must-see creation... The link is saggihead... Atleast, i did not procrastinate on writing this blog, which i normally do. Keep those brush strokes moving on painters, and the mouse scrolls rolling on designers... Peace Out!
