Fun With Color Manipulation

Click for full size
Hola fello artists,

As an atonement for my coming here more often as I should, , I thought I'd start a fun little thread. It's kinda hard for me to come up with new ideas outside of my typical drawing range when it comes to digi-art, so I thought I'd start a color manipulation thread, something to help get the creative juices flowing. This image still has some rough spots but came out fairly successful.

Feel free to use this image or one all your own.

Come one come all and have some fun.

Re: Fun With Color Manipulation

Nicely done. Did you use a b/w image coupled with a colored image or did you fill colors in?

Actually I'm working on the velvet Elvis right now


My life, it used to be incomplete
'Till I saw what I was looking for at a drive-in swap meet
My life it won't be the same again
Now I'm proud to say the king lives on inside my den

Oh, it's all I live for, it's all I need
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis means the world to me

Although he may not be worth much dough
He means much more to me than some old Rembrandt or Van Gogh
Check out those sideburns, there's nothing greater
You can tell that he's no velvet Elvis imitator

Oh, it's all I live for, it's all I need
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis
Oh, now you can't you see
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis means the world to me

In my own private Graceland
In my own little shrine to the king
I don't want nothin' else
No, I don't need anything
Don't need no lava lamp
Don't need no soap on a rope
No pictures of Mexican kids with those really big eyes
Or dogs playing poker

When I'm at home watching my TV
I know the king is always looking down on me
He looks so handsome, he stands so tall
So glad he's big enough to cover up that hole in the wall

(Velvet Elvis) He's so fuzzy
(Velvet Elvis) He's so great
(Velvet Elvis) Never ages
(Velvet Elvis) Never puts on weight
(Velvet Elvis) Look at those rhinestones
(Velvet Elvis) He's just so fine
(Velvet Elvis) You can look but don't touch now
(Velvet Elvis) 'Cause he's mine all mine

btw, if anyone is interested, i can make a tutorial for color changing

 The late Big Edd Hoel always wanted a velvet elvis in clown face and matador costume, nailed to the cross, with a hand clasped between the toes of his right foot topped out with a pair of duces, playing alongside a table of furry canine of various species, most of whom appear to be cheating.

1. take a picture of something


2. duplicate the layer
3. make it so only the top layer is visible
4. erase everything that you dont want colored:


5. press ctrl+u and mess with the hue:

I didn't change the colors so much, just "enhanced them" at least on a LCD screen it looks good.

My original graphic was a bit large (be sure and click on it, or you'll get a browser-resized image), so I'm uploading another that's a bit smaller.
