My First Photoshop Attempts
2025 April 25
Current Mood: thinking about how good potatoes are...
Now Playing: "Peace Portal" by Khotin

Was browsing through my old backups and found a folder of my first experiments with photoshop. A friend of mine once gave me a bootleg DVD with Photoshop CS2 on it, and it opened a whole new world of opportunities to me (not for long though, I got bored with it pretty quickly...). Most of the time I didn't know what I wanted to do and was just trying out different instruments and filters.

I think it's fun to be able to post some of my attempts now, so many years later, in my blog. So here are the four works of digital art from when I was 13-14 years old that I've never shared online before.

An edited official Half-Life 2 desktop wallpaper featuring the close-up of the main character of the game: his glasses, ears, hair, beard and chest are enlarged to comical proportions.
Morphing characters was the first fun activity me and my friend found out how to do in photoshop. So many breasts were augmented -___-"
A digital collage featuring main characters of several video games from mid-2000s. Among those: Alyx Vance and Gordon Freeman from Half-Life 2, robots from Scrapland, the main guy and girl from Total Overdose, Jam from Guilty Gear.
My first attempt to make a proper collage desktop wallpaper. I might have even sent it to the Игромания magazine at one point with one of my first VGMVs...
A digital collage featuring Shadow the Hedgehog with a pistol and a katana on his back going towards the viewer. To the right of him is Lavie, a character from anime Last Exile. In the top right corner there is an edited title saying "LAST SAMURAI"
Such a beautiful alignment of my interests at a particular point in time... In case you are wondering if this is the katana from Samurai Champloo — yes it is.
A digital collage of two 3d rendered women characters with elf ears standing one behind another and looking at the viewer. The one in front has white hair, skin, and a white dress, and the one in the back has black hair, lavender-ish skin and a black dress. The collage is decorated with white semi-transparent leaves.
A more sophisticated and artsy attempt at creating a desktop wallpaper. I've just found out what game the source images are from. This, too, is yuri.

I'm still not good at photoshop, to be honest :)
