HotforWords Comic Strip!!!

(click for larger image)

Hello my dear students! ...I mean... hey all! (that is fun to say lol)
Check out my newest photoshop project featuring Marina from the YouTube channel hotforwords! She has the most unique education videos, proving the phrase, "Intelligence Is Sexy!" I thought of this little joke for a comic strip, and knowing Marina's good sense of humor, I thought she might like it as well. Originally, I began to draw Marina from scratch, but it didn't have the cartoony-feel I was going for. Photoshop has a great filter called "Posterize" that helps create the effect I used in the final product. I think the end result came out pretty silly! What do you think? (don't forget to read it with a Russian accent!)

Look-A-Likes: Taylor Swift and Nanalew!?

While watching some of Nanalew's videos, I couldn't help but notice she resembled Taylor Swift! Even with the dark hair, I could see that they had similar facial features, so I decided to see what a few changes in photoshop could do! Im probably going to make "Look-A-Likes" a regular series if you all like the idea. I can already see alot of possibilities! One of the most difficult things to do is turn a brunette blonde, which is almost equally difficult in real life, you'll usually end up with orange hair! lol Looking back on the photo, I probably should of just pasted some actual Taylor hair on the photo, I'll keep that in mind for future Look-A-Likes. haha! Also, using a screenshot instead of a photo sacrifices some quality. Even though I made her look like Taylor Swift, she still mainly looks like herself, so overall, mission accomplished. Do you think she looks like Taylor Swift?

When popular youtuber pogobat announced he was going to let us control his life through a decision engine, it seemed crazy, impossible, and certainly groundbreaking! Its been a short journey so far, but Dan Brown has assured us his project "Dan 3.0" will continue on and become even more of an adventure! So all we can do now is watch and see what happens! (and if you don't like it, there's still a great video of him solving a rubix cube while on a pogo stick!)

Here's a link to his decision engine where you can submit a task for Dan to do: http://revision3.com/dan30
