It has been super quiet around here, and I am very hyped to have finally created something new – and animated it! *woohoo* Click the play symbol to see the animation! It took me wayyyy too long to animate this bunch of butterflies 😀 But I learned a lot doing it and maybe next time […]
For my latest image Lost, I used the 3D feature in Photoshop to create the text. Previously, I had opened the feature and quickly closed it again – this time I took my time to learn enough to bring my vision onto the canvas! I am currently in the process of staring at approx. 2 […]
