Ok. So I'm not so obsessed anymore mainly because make-up and models are both becoming hard to find, especially for what I want to do. Not to mention my one model is officially gounded for the rest of her life. *snaps* oh well. I'll just have to wait. In the mean time I've actually sat down and learned how to use a photo editor. I am cheap so, instead of paying a million dollars for Photoshop CS3 or something like that, I downloaded the GIMP software. Its perfect. It has all the features of photoshop without the $600 price tag. Anyway, now that I've learned how to actually use this I've also been exploring site that help me learn to manipulate photos. I'm talking to the best of the best to see what they use and how they do everything. In wave of this, I am also finding that there are not always the photos you want for a picture. This frustrates me. You wouldn't believe how many people take pictures that can't be used for photo manip. I mean, if your going to make the flower the object, then MAKE THE FLOWER THE OBJECT. Don't take the picture 10 thousand feet away with a 4 MP camera. Its just not going to work. Anyway, I recently have been busy taking stock photos and I just started another Deviant account ([link]). I'm really tying to make sure the pictures I put up can be used. I've only just started though so the stuff is mainly flowers and patterns for overlays/backrounds. I plan to get more up. Especially model pics, extreme human close ups, and what not. I realize that the new account is pretty pathetic at the moment and I am working and expanding it. Thanks to everyone who has supported what I do now and who will also support my stock account. :^)
