Project 3

I went off topic for this project.  I was making some interesting shapes in alchemy and put together this robot with energy whips.  I didn't plan on doing this for my project but I liked where it was going so I decide to finish it.  I used pull shapes, x shapes,  ribbon shapes, type shapes, and detached shapes under the create section in alechmy.  I saved these sessions as a pdf and opened them up in photoshop.  I selected some of the shapes and adjusted them with transformation tools.  I drew a quick sketch over the top of the shapes to get some structure.  I shaded everything in black and white and adjusted certain parts that did not look right.  I put my layers into sets, then copyed and merged the set into a flat image.   With the flatten image I would create new layers and paint on them.  I would place those new layers into a set and copy it again. I always keep a set with all my layers in case I mess up.  The last thing I did was add color.
