Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I offer only the truth, nothing more.

Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill

spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
I know. That's why it's going to work.

To get a Terragen map out to a jpg, you need the plugins from here [link] - use the FEO Windows BMP option under accesories on the landscape window, then convert that to jpg in your graphics app.

Have a very merry Christmas. I hope that you enjoyed watching me and that you had fun expressing your thoughts upon my deviations. My latest is a present for you: [link] . If you are of another religious belief take this as your late Hanukkah present or as an early new years present. If you are not religious take this as a hey-there-thanks-for-watching-me gift.
Best wishes,

dillpill [2002-12-03 07:13:38 +0000 UTC]

To make a grayscale adjustment layer just make a hue & saturation adjustment layer over the image and take all the saturation out of the adjustment layer on the hue and saturation panel.

with the regular hue & saturation, you can turn an image into a grayscale by doing the same with minusing all saturation in the hue & saturation... this way you can treat it as a color image (RGB instead of grayscale mode) and have other layers retaining their color... so instead of using the adjustment layer option as described in the 1st paragraph, you could duplicate the image onto another layer and have your desaturated layer on top of it, and just erase the areas you want colors to show on your image.

there are sooo many different ways to do things in photoshop it's insane! If you need any more tips I'll be glad to assist...

Have FUN!

aaaahh... ok... wasn't quite sure what your query was on [link] ...

The photo was taken at the Sacramento Airport in California. In the recent year they finished a big art project that involved redesigning the interior and exterior of the airport with stained glass, wall hangings, and very large used luggage sculptures made out of... yep, used luggage donated by real people. Quite an improvement on the used to be boring airport.

About the gray scale and color editing...
In photoshop, just place a grayscale adjustment layer over your image and erase places on the adjustment layer mask that is covering areas that you want colored.

if further questions needed, just ask.
THANKS!

Thanks for the comment on the piece, and I think it means more cause it is an older piece.

Its on my dresser, I love that thing. Probably it is one of the more alternative creative endevours, or the fact that it was a succesful rebellion.

Anyway thanks.

I saw your comment on ~ashman 's page and I think I can answer a couple of those questions for you. I have known him for 3 years now, and two of those were in the same art class.

So anyway, he used (as I do) Prisma Color Markers, and Sharpes. The best pens to ink with are Pigma Micron made by Sakura The ink is nice an black, smooth and constant.
Those are what I use and those are what he uses. I thought I would go ahead and answer those questions cause he wont be online for a bit.

Hoped I helped a little, oh yeah. How you been?
