[long description ahead]
- I always had a goal in my editing journey, which was achieving a unique touch of professional artists on DeviantArt. the artists who create pieces like me BUT SO MUCH BETTER. they'd create them so perfectly and just, always had this unique and professional touch in all of their pieces.
With 9 years of photoshop experience and diligence, every edit I made till now, I never felt satisfied as the satisfaction I feel right now because I've finally achieved that touch. I didn't know I'd achieve this on an edit that I almost lost my sanity on and took me more than a week to complete— things do come when you're not expecting indeed.
- the process of making this was total hell and gruesome due to intense editors block— to the point I felt like I got severe ptsd 😠(picture in the comments to see the initial edit). I've never struggled this much to make/blend a background in the edit of second slide, too much red tint, messy and all, I had no idea how to balance the colors and fill up the "void", it felt like something was missing. On the discovery, I discovered this hidden treasure called color lookup— 9 years of using ps felt like a joke. tho thanks to my rage, I deleted the background and added a random white and red texture to turn it into a bg— a beauty was born on the first slide. I feel so proud right now. ðŸ˜
