Rivalry between MyaWooz and JayWooz?

Hello, Woozens! June here. When I first logged in to play Woozworld, I saw this on the Wooz Newz:

So, apparently,  MyaWooz is making fun of Jay's style constantly? I don't get what's happening. Maybe they had a fight after the release of the Snapdragon collection? All I know is that I will be on the case!

Stay super!

In regards of writing soon,

Message to Pixlr users

Hello lovely reader, I have a small announcement to make. 

As you know, I use Photoshop Cs6 to edit. I thought that most things from Photoshop translated into Pixlr but I was wrong. Well here are some translations for my lovely, valid, Pixlr users,

Layer via cut:

To layer via cut on pixlr is a nightmare, because to my knowledge they didnt add the option. Divine being knows why, because we would all benefit from it. To layer via cut on pixlr you have to make your selection, Select ctrl+x on your keyboard, make a new layer, and hit ctrl+v.

Free transform (Transform):

The creators of Pixlr weren't aware that the command Ctrl+T on a WEB BROWSER would open a new tab. In the top bar under 'Edit' the 'Free Transform' option is there.

View:

To hide your layer (extremely useful under the right circumstances) click the check mark on the right of your layer thumbnail.

Inseting things into your image:

Pixlr made this ridiculously difficult. I spent a good 5-10 minutes figuring out the simplest way. To insert something into your image open the image you want to insert, select it with the magnetic lasso tool, ctrl+c and ctrl+v it onto your image.

That's all i could find for now, message my woozen @jamessoup if you've found any more 'translations'. Until tomorrow - Stay creative, my friends.

How to Play: Find the Killer

I haven't posted in so long!

Anyways, i'm back again with another post! "find the killer" (mafia) has been pretty popular the past few days, anyways.. So here are some instructions of how to play this AMAZING game if you don't know how!

First of all, owner secretly picks 1 or 2 killers, 2 polices and one doctor. She privately asks the killer(s) to pick a victim or 2 if there's two killers. This is an example of what would they say: Bella and Anne got killed by the killer, doctor you can only save one person, pc me who to save. The person that the doctor saves, stays in. But sadly, the other person is out. Once there is only 3 people, you do emo or fast type. The person who does it first wins basically. It's a pretty fun game! Once you're definitely sure you got the rules, maybe make your own find the killer! enjoy x.x!

~ Smoking tutorial ~

~**DISCLAIMER**

Smoking is bad and you shouldn't do it. This was more of a subtle nudge of a reference towards 'The Fault In Our Stars' which I just finished reading, and is a metaphor.

In other news: Hello lovely reader! Welcome back to another one of my posts!

Today i'll be doing a tutorial on how to make it look like your woozen is smoking the proverbial cigarette. I don't condone smoking, This is a 'The Fault In our Stars" reference as I said in the above disclaimer.
What you'll need for this edit:

1. A basic understanding of layers
2. Any tool used for cutting or selecting. Preferably one of the lasso tools.
3. A picture of your woozen in the 3/4's view.
4. A picture of a cigarette. You can download the one i used below.
**SMALL EXPLANATION**
To 'layer via cut' right-click (ctrl click for mac) on the selected area.
To select use the magnetic lasso tool.
Depending on which forearm you choose, you'll have to go through more trouble.
**Lets get started, shall we?**

1. with your magnetic lasso tool select a forearm.
You can either choose the left or right forearm. with the left forearm you'd have to patch up the space it left, so i'd go with the right. However, I will be covering both.

3. layer via cut the selected forearm.
Remember that layer via cut is when you right click and select "Layer Via Cut" (Ctrl+click for Mac users)
4. You should now have two layers, one with your woozen on it and one with your forearm of choice.
5. Depending on which forearm you chose, it would be good to stop reading here to do some touch-ups.
Stop here and continue after you've patched up the hole that the left forearm would've left. If you're putting the cigarette in the right forearm ignore this step.
6. With Transform (Ctrl+t, or accessible in the menu under 'edit') position the forearm so that its facing your woozen.

  OR   
5. with the forearm layer selected cut out either:
 OR 
6. layer via cut the selection.
  
7. OPEN picture of cigarette, or download the one i used:

Its already transparent so you don't have to worry about cutting it out, just open it onto your image.

8. Copy and Paste the cigarette onto your image.

9. Place the cigarette between the forearm and hand cut-out layer.
10. Use transform (Ctrl+t, or accessible in the menu under 'Edit') to position it just right.
      
That's all for today. Any questions, feedback, concerns or suggestions? Message my woozen @Jamessoup. Until tomorrow-Stay creative, Lovely.

Another announcement+All About Backgrounds!

First of all, wow. I'm glad people find me helpful. Really, I am. Thanks Star for the S/O. Seriously, thanks. As a side note: Hello lovely reader! Welcome!

Well here's your announcement:

I'll be going on vacation to Florida this week; Both to cheer me up and hopefully give me inspiration to work. I've been trying to navigate around my depression to crank out tutorials for people who read the blog, so i'll be able to get tutorials out faster. Another note, I'll be releasing a tutorial every day of this week. Enough of my sob story, huh? Let's get started.

I'll be teaching you some simple tips on backgrounds and borders, and talking about how to incorporate them into a photo as a whole. I'll most likely be doing a part II because this is such a broad topic.

*****QUICK DEFINITIONS FOR YOU*****

Transparent background:
A background with a checkered pattern, indicating that there's nothing there. Clear when you put it on other images. Your editing software's way of putting "nothing" into an image.

Solid background:
A background with one color consistently. Nothing else in the background besides that color.

Noisy background:

A background with a lot in it. E.g things in the background.

**ORGANIZATION IS KEY, SAVE A FOLDER FOR BACKGROUNDS SPECIFICALLY**

My rules for backgrounds/borders:

1. Electric green as a solid color for a background is not good.

It leaves a nasty green border around your woozen if you don't have an experienced hand at outlining.


2. borders should not be the main focus of your image

If the photo is 75% border and 25% woozen it should be called a border edit, not a woozworld edit.

3. simplicity is key.
Don't make an edit with 15 different components. Simple is good. You can have a lot in your image if you do it right, but even I can't do that.

4. Always have a picture of your woozen with a transparent background on hand. Always.

It makes the entire process SO. MUCH. EASIER. you don't have to worry about outlining. Just don't get lazy. a fresh image once in a while won't hurt.

5. Size matters. 

Didn't think i'd ever be saying these words, nevermind writing them. Size matters, and a lot. If you make a small image big you'll make the image blurry and un–usable in terms of background

**TIPS FOR GETTING A PERFECT BORDER/BACKGROUND**

1. Remember to get a good fitting image for your woozen, its better to go bigger than smaller.

To quote #5 in the latter list, SIZE MATTERS.

2. Google has an option where you can search for a specific size of an image. 

EXPLOIT THIS OPTION UNTIL GOOGLE REMOVES IT. This has saved my life so many times.

3. Google has an option where you can search for a specifically colored image.

*cough, cough* Transparent images *cough*

4. Only use contrasting colors for background when it adds to the atmosphere.

I only know of a few artists who can do this and not make their image look like a rave party. Key word: few. I don't want to discourage anyone from trying it though, you might have some hidden talent.

5. Black>White backgrounds.
Haha. This one is a matter of preferance, but I always prefer black backgrounds because they hide a ton of mistakes. #TeamBlackBackground.

Until tomorrow, stay creative:

HANDS+Announcement+Author's note.

Hello, lovely reader. Welcome back to one of my posts. I'm so sorry for not posting often. Please try to understand it takes 3+ days to figure out every technique, come up with a simple one, plan it, make sure there are no typos, get images, and so forth. Well, I'll be talking about two things in this post. One I'll be covering briefly, the other will be in depth. Let's get on with it, shall we?:

The announcement. I'll be releasing video tutorials, even though i'm absolute garbage at video editing. I'm hoping it works out and I think we'll get some good work out there.

Hands. hands and my deep love/hate relationship with them, ugh. I absolutely despise these little intricate line strokes. Well, enough of my opinion. I have three golden rules for hands (or any intricate woozen-parts.)

1. never color anything in if you absolutely don't have to.

I'm not a lazy guy, you know that. But divine being do I LOATHE not having a neat edit but instead having that one strand of hair, that one finger that ruins everything. People focus more on that one mistake. That one out of place line. 

2. less is more.

I cannot stress this enough. I'm still learning new things everyday. If you're not at a certain skill level, don't attempt more. a subtle dot is enough to redirect your focus. imagine an entire symphony of lines and colors. Remember, you're you. Not Jason Pollock.

3. dropper tool, bandage tool. they are your water in the desert. USE THEM.

WOO, divine being, here we go. These babies have saved me from a proverbial beating. use these like air. The dropper tool-for obvious reasons- is a great tool for touch-ups. The bandage tool- better known as the Healing Brush tool- Automatically fixes that particular part of your photo.

Dropper tool, Bandage tool.

Well those are my rules. Feel free to copy them, make your own, even not use rules *gasp*. Here are some tips:

1. Divine being in the sky, never use hand templates. 
IF you're not experienced with using templates, DON'T. Ever. It makes your work look sloppy, unorganized, and unprofessional. Prime example:

:  VS   

Guess which one the template is?

2. If your woozen is holding something realistic, give it a realistic atmosphere. 

If they're holding a pen, make their hand grip. etc.

3. be creative

Don't just a little wink and peace sign.Give me action. Give me heroism, Give me a sense of awe. If anyone reading this can make me an edit that can invoke any of these feelings, message my woozen, show it to me. 

If you have any requests, feel free to contact me.

Double Exposure ~Tutorial~

Heyo. Today i'll be teaching you lovely readers how to do a double exposure photo. What a double exposure is, is two photos overlapped to make one. Much like a double contrast, but slightly different. Here's an example:

Looks SUPER ADVANCED right? Wrong. It's a fairly simple concept that will be simple to explain, with a basic understanding of layers. Here's what you'll need for this lovely project:

I'll explain this to you in simple terms the best i can. 

1. Outline your woozen.

Okay, The first thing you EVER do in an edit is OUTLINE YOUR WOOZEN. Of course, never use the Magic Wand tool, the Quick Selection tool, or the "auto-outline" feature. I have a deep-rooted hatred for these. Since its a robot outlining your woozen, you don't get the desired effect. Instead, Use the magnetic lasso, lasso, or polygonal lasso. A lot of editors on here would tell you otherwise, but trust me it's worth it. After you have your woozen outlined you should see a black and white border around them. This border is called marching ants. 
 
2. Make a new layer with the woozen in it. 
To do this, right click your woozen (Or ctrl+click for Mac users) and select "Layer via cut" This creates a new layer with ONLY your woozen in it, which makes the entire process much easier.
This is what your layers panel should look like:

Select the layer "Background" and delete it.

This is what your image should look like now:

3. Take out the picture you want to overlay on your woozen.

4. Copy and paste the overlay image (forest) onto the image of your woozen. 
You can do this by using the Quick Selection tool on the overlay image. Then on your keyboard press ctrl+c (command+c for mac) Now switch to your woozens picture and press ctrl+v (command+v for mac)

this is what your image should look like.

Click on the layer labelled "Layer One"
5. Select your woozen.
This will be much easier because your woozen has a transparent background. Just "color in" your woozen with the quick selection tool.

6. Right click (ctrl click for mac) and click "select inverse" (DON'T FORGET TO SWITCH TO LAYER 2 AFTER YOU'VE PRESSED SELECT INVERSE)

Run your eraser in the outlined space.
 
Select the forest layer:

REDUCE THE OPACITY TO 55%
Until next time, Stay creative.
