[CynderTheDarkAngel]

NICE!

[TheGoldenGriffiness]

The on flaws I see are her tailblade is upside down and her stumache-pink gous to the tip of her tail. Pardon me, I'm a Cyn nerd! It's deafinatly better than I could do1 fantastic, and thank you for outtting this up!

[TheGoldenGriffiness]

INCREADIBLE! What program is this?

[tsitra360]

@TheGoldenGriffiness Photoshop CS4 at the time.

[TheGoldenGriffiness]

@tsitra360 *Is jealous* could you make a tetorial for this maybe? That would be awesome!

[tsitra360]

@TheGoldenGriffiness Um…that wouldn't be possible. The techniques and process I used where just made up. It came from years of playing with Photoshop. With enough experience and knowledge you can just work the images around anyway you want.

[AliciaColbert1000]

omg U R SO FRIKIN AMAZING! thats called talent

[OMEGA12355]

AWESOME

[superspyro130]

hello?

[superspyro130]

that. was. AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tsitra360]

@superspyro130 Thanks, glad you liked it :)

[superspyro130]

@tsitra360  how did you do that? oh and i just wanted to say i had a lizard once but she died, i thought of that with the you know creating cynder with a lizard thing......he he

[tsitra360]

@superspyro130 It comes from around 6-7 years of Photoshop knowledge. You can do anything with Photoshop in just 2-3 steps, the hard part is knowing those steps. The best advice is to toy around with the program and see what happens. From the experience, you immediately know what steps are needed to achieve the desired effect. And sorry about the lizard. :(

[superspyro130]

@tsitra360 your fun to talk to, you actually reply to what i say, exept i have no idea what you just said, as a nine year old.....

[SuperNeppe]

awesome

I know the three suits of armor for Spyro and Cynder to, give you choose and create! If you want of course! : D

[tsitra360]

@MrPokelatios two words....Thank You!

[DeathStarthedragon]

@tsitra360, Your welcome ^^

[DeathStarthedragon]

Speechless.

[tsitra360]

@DeathStarthedragon Haha, thank you!

[apachespook71]

GAH!!!! AGAIN!!!! AWESOME WORK!!!!!!! You are like.... More CREATIVE then ME!!!! GREAT JOB!!! (would do more ! but my stupid pc wont allow it T_T)

[tsitra360]

@apachespook71 Haha, thanks again. :) And yes, the limitations of pc

[efraindragonred]

what program do you use

[tsitra360]

@efraindragonred Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. For screen capture I used Screenflow (mac only). For video editing I used Final Cut Express (mac only).

[ShimmertheHedgehog]

Holy crap this is amazing! I wish I knew how to manipulate photos like that.

[tsitra360]

@ShimmertheHedgehog This is just years of practice and playing around with Photoshop, not too hard to do.

[DragonsProtectMe]

Hi again, is there any other programs you can do this on???

[tsitra360]

@DragonsProtectMe Probably not, Photoshop pretty much owns the picture editing business. The majority other programs only change the color of photos and make them look nicer.

[darkspinesonic200]

cool!

[Mya101795]

Really kool!!

[tsitra360]

@Mya101795 Thank you.

[purpledeer19]

this was on a mac right cuase i have on!

[tsitra360]

@purpledeer19 Why yes, yes it is.

[purpledeer19]

HOLLY ...... like wow this is amazing

liek it toke my breath away! way to goo liek ... wow

[tsitra360]

@purpledeer19 Haha, why thank you. And here's your breath back...

[purpledeer19]

@tsitra360 lol thx i dont get how the acualy cool stuff gets only 1000 views and ima gummy bear gets 50million this kicks gummy bears butt !!!!

[tsitra360]

@purpledeer19 Haha, thanks! The only reason that video gets so many views its because of three things. It's funny, weird, and random. Those are basically the three things that brings videos to a million views.

[DragonsProtectMe]

HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU DO THAT!?

[tsitra360]

@DragonsProtectMe The three P's. Practice, patience, and Photoshop.

[DragonsProtectMe]

@tsitra360 oooohk... i dont have the patience bit....

[tsitra360]

@dragoness99cutechix Why thank you :D

[elinassa]

TOTALY COOL! Um.. What a song in the end?

[tsitra360]

@elinassa That's the Instrumental to "OMG" by Usher

[whyisthisnamenotaken]

WOW

[anyssae]

thats cool u should do one of spyro

[tsitra360]

@anyssae Haha, I did.  Check out my gallery to see it.

[Cynderdarkdragon1]

That looks kinda like she is real, I like the floating islands you created ;)

[tsitra360]

@Cynderdarkdragon1 Thank you. The floating island idea was more of a last minute decision.

[Degari1994]

Wow, I've seen your speedpaints and that blew me away. I saw your first spyro photo manipulation video and that stunned me.

And this one was like, wow.

Skills, you have them.

[tsitra360]

@Degari1994 Wow, thanks for this awesome comment. I really appreciate it.

[midnightstorm45044]

Oh my GAWD!!! This probably took forever O_e I couldn't even begin to do something like this!

[tsitra360]

@midnightstorm45044 Thanks. I didn't take too long, it was a pretty quick manipulation. And you shouldn't say that. I wasn't able to do something like this several years ago. I kept practicing and played with Photoshop to get me to this point.

[midnightstorm45044]

@tsitra360 No problem :3 Quick? Whoa. If I did do something like that, it would probably take a week or so...I dont have Photoshop yet. I may soon though. I don't think Gimp could do all that distorting and stuff very easily. Maybe one day I will be able to do this kind of thing, but it might be a long while ^^'

[floravola]

Oh wow this is one of the best photo manipulation I have ever seen! I'm breath taking! D8 mmh but I have a question, how have you "erased" those black stripes on the lizard head? I keep trying doing this but I can't do it and what thing have you used in photoshop for "transforming" the head? Thanks a lot!

[tsitra360]

@floravola I simply selected each individual stripes and altered their color to match the rest of the head. It's mostly through trial and error I figured that out. And the tool I used to transform the head is liquify. You can find it a few down under the filter menu. It's only in Photoshop CS3 Extended and newer. If you don't have it, you can still use warp (edit/transform/warp) Not as powerful as liquify but pretty close.

[floravola]

@tsitra360 Thanks a lot! I'll see if I could get photoshop CS3 or CS4 they seem more useful than the latest version, CS2. I always looked your work, and that's true I would have commented on it but I'll do it when I'll have the time ( on deviantart ) to my mind you are an amazing artist, your coloring skills are so awesome!

[tsitra360]

@floravola Why thank you. And I just noticed you subscribed to my DA account. Thanks for that. And keep in mind that you still won't get the liquify tool in CS3 or CS4. It's in the separate 'extended' version you get the tool. That costs more. So if your short in cash the best you can use is the Warp tool. Which is still a very good tool.

[Unitheunicorn123]

awesome i would love for you to sjows all these effects you do to make your work a true pice of art, i would love to try some of the stuff ur doing! ^^

[tsitra360]

@Unitheunicorn123 In my experience, a 3 1/2 minute video is just long enough for Youtube. Any longer I lose the attention. And thanks, you should try it. It takes a lot of practice but eventually anything is possible.

[EleriDragonfly]

Fantastic work as always, you have a great deal of patience and it paid off. I look forward to seeing your other works ^^

[tsitra360]

@EleriDragonfly Thank you. I think I have too much patience. I find myself tweaking one part way too long. I force myself to continue.  And thanks.

[ch311s33]

O.o OH SNAP!!!! that was soooooo cool! ^_^ L-O-V-E LOVED IT!

[leaderdragonfire]

Awsome!!
