Description This is the fifth project that I did for my PhotoShop class. The goal was to creat a picture that used emotion and instilled it into those who viewed it.

Hope's the main emotion for which I was going, so many heroes bursting from the sunrise. Along with this hope, inspiration comes from the fact that, with imagination, many creations like this exist in the first place. The child in the corner looks out to all of this with curiosity and amazement, so much to take in and so much more that can be known.

This project was pretty fun, but quite long in all of the editing that was needed (pixel-by-pixel). I've already had much respect for those who draw but, after this particular project, I have much MORE respect for those who take the time to create such pieces (especially when the piece you spent hours editing can't be used and you have to start from scratch on something else).

Anyway, as before, any advice, critique, comments, or hints would be helpful.

I thank you in advance for giving this a view.

Nice.

You can also like add some others like Megas XLR, Transformers Armada/Energon/Cybertron and Ben 10/Alien Force.

I could have added many different cartoons and animes in this piece but, for the feel I was going for, I wanted particular heroes that I thought were cool. Often enough, we pass on our likes and comforts to the next generation; in this, the cartoons and heroes that I like are now being passed on to this young child.

Anyway, thanks for giving this a view.

The baby is adorable, and it kinda looks like he's looking up like "WOW I wanna grow to be just like Naruto/Goku etc."

Hah, to an extent, that's exactly it. What we see as children can inspire us to be better ourselves.

A very nice piece, Dondi. I can see that you put alot of effort into it. My only suggestion is that maybe you should toy around with the channels for the baby so that he doesn't stick out so much.

But I must agree that it does take time and effort to create something so wonderful and aspiring that it leaves a mark in our minds. Great job!

It wasn't until after I completed this and printed it that I saw that I probably should have feathered the baby...and then I questioned my self in actually having said "feather the baby."

^_^

Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this piece; thank you so much for your kind words on it.

Poor kid seeing all that insanity, I don't blame it for looking scared. Nice job on the picture.

If it was a peice meant to display an emotion, then my friend- The hat is off to you. This really does display an excellent veiw of Hope, Imagination, and the like. In fact, my onyl 2 problems- And that is that Naruto and Aang are on there, as i Hate Naruto with a Passion and Aang slightly annoy's me XD (I find the Naruto show itself a Pain to watch with Naruto Himself going "BELIVE IT!!" every 10 seconds, plus his dub voice just annoy's me. And i just couldn't get into Avatar, really- I wasn't to fond of the drawing style. It had some very well animated Battle Sequence's, i can say that much! )

All in all, a really good Photoshop attempt!

I added in Naruto as a means of "leveling out" the anime heroes on the direct horizon. Goku, Luffy, and Yusuke are three that I like a lot, but I felt that Naruto should go there as well for the sake of making it fit (and, in a sense, for total recognition).

I actually like Avatar, though, and find it to be pretty cool.

Anyway, thank you very much for your kind words on this piece.

I suppose that makes sense. I don't have a problem with people liking it, obviously, it's just not my personal choice of show. Plus i cannot stand the fanbase, or at least a massive chunk of it. (Like the kid that attempted to immatate the Sand Coffin and suffocated. I mean, common sense, even at the age of 10, should tell you sticking your head into Sand so that you cannot breath is a BAD IDEA. But i Digress...)

Fair enough. Like i said, not my sort of thing, but the Fighting Scene's are stupidly well animated. How they do it is beyond me.

Not a problem, my friend!

Only they can prevent forest fires. Ironically enough, one person told me that it looked as though their blasting off is what caused the "fireball" in the background.
