Hey!
We meet again, sorry for the slight delay, 11th
the class is really taking a toll on me. This time was okay; I had school, so I did
not enjoy it; I still played games with my friends, listened to music, and now
pretty good with digital art and photo editing! I have made around 13 now, and surprisingly
I have gotten multiple commissions; I have earned around 15.5 Euros which
is around 1,350 INR. I am trying to save my money for shoes that I really like.
Today I will show you one of my recent artworks. It is for a digital skin in
CSGO, but it is not really easy to make.

For this, I used multiple screenshots to make the effect of the floating gun. I take my screenshots in 4K in front of a green screen. When I am happy with these, I will remove the green of the green screen and try my best to remove the green glow on the gloves or the gun. After that, I make some basic adjustments like curves, brightness, contrast, hue and saturation. I find a background, adjust it a bit and add either Motion Blur or Gaussian Blur; in this case, I chose Gaussian blur.
I made some basic adjustments to the background and added a slight vignette effect. I use premade colour corrections but do adjust them to fit my style. I use camera profiles to give the camera effect to this artwork. After that, I added the text and made some final adjustments. It took like 90 minutes in the starting, but now it varies from 60-150 minutes.

In the end, I would like to say, Check up on your friends; maybe someone is going through a tough time and could use some help. If you are in a good mental state, try to help others also. I try to check up on my friends every few days. But if you are in a bad mental state yourself, try to talk to people, find what makes you sad and try to eliminate it, no matter how long it takes. It is worth it. Thank you for reading my blog.
