Below you will find several photos which I scanned and then edited. The original photo is shown, followed by its modified counter-part. (I also do Weddings and Bamitzvas ;-) )
These photos are related to Dagorhir, a medieval club in which I participate. The Dagorhir Kingdom of Anfalas webpage can be viewed at: http://acasun.eckerd.edu/~dagorhir/anfalas.html


Club Yearbook Photo

You will, hopefully notice the extreme change in the background. The fence and buildings have been replaced with trees, and a pine tree has been added in the midground. Additionally, the legs of the bench have been changed from metal to wood, and the sidewalk in the midground has been concealed.


Two-Headed Ogre

Changes to this photo include, most noticabally, the merging of the two individuals on the left. The shirt on the right member, was changed to match the shirt on the left. The blotchy color was chosen because it looked more "period" than the stripes.
The right most individual began life wearing a bright blue baseball cap, which was replaced with a steal skull cap, complete with nose guard. several minor alterations to his clothing, and the immediate background were made. A reflective spot on the plastic lamp post, and a wrist watch were also removed.


Grull and Tristin struggle over a dagger

Just as a note, the gentleman lying on the ground is holding tightly onto the other's hand and is refusing to let go.
The changes made to this photo are entirely in the background. The cars have either been blurred or covered over with alternative sections of wall. The blue sections and the windows were determined to be to detractive from what the photo was implying, and were also covered. I also added a tree in the upper left corner.


The Deadly Lady Gwendelen

In the original photo, an arm or finger got in the way of the lens. I copied and pasted portions of the pine tree in the hopes of extending it. I really didn't think that the tree would work, but the right portion looks fairly realistic. The palm tree in the right corner, is actuauly two mirrored copies of the tree in the left.


Knife Fight

Here I am having a "knife fight" with one of my friends.
The buildings in the left background, middle background, and right background have been replaced with trees. These new trees are entirely copies of portions of the original trees. It is remarkable how well some of the branches and leaf patterns match.


Minwax

This is Grull, the minotaur, and his axe. Grull was unfortunate enough to be standing in front of a concrete lamp post, which had to be removed to make the photo free from anacronisms. He also forgot to remove his watch, I removed it for him. I also replaced the silver cross-members in the building on the right background so that the entire region would be plain blue. The sidewalk (see if you can find it) was replaced with plain ground cover.
The photo has also been cropped to remove some unwanted wite space at the bottom.


Tristin puts on his gloves

Tristin is being snuck up upon by a large blue building. See it? Just over HIS right shoulder? I took care of it with a little copyandpaste magic.


Unalah

Unalah, (also known as Rebecca), is shown here proudly posing with her sword. One of these days I am going to get everybody to just take their watches off first. Anyhow, the cars in the right background were covered with assorted branches from the tree. I intend to remove the building on the left, probably by covering it with more trees.


Unalah and Emaleth

Here is Unalah again, this time with her roommate Emaleth. The trees in the background have been extended to cover rogue buildings in the left and right portions as well as between their heads. There is a little white square right next to the tree to the right. I was upset when I first saw this because I though I put it there. I extended a tree down to cover this spot, only to later realize that it is a "Bob's Baracade" warning of danger!


Swing Unalah!

Again we see Unalah. She is rather photogenic. In this photo, she is swinging her sword, presumedly trying to hack me into little bits. The buildings in the background detract from the whole illusion of being in the middle-ages. I shuffled trees around so that the buildings were disguised.


These photos are from the Dagorhir Spring '98 Feast. The camara that was used to take them put a time stamp on each photo. I have selected the most interesting and demonstrative out of the lot. Sorry, they are GIFs and not JPGs...

Elis H and christy removed numbers from side of E's shirt/blouse

These photos were edited using relatively advanced, but not top of the line graphics packages, such as xpaint or xv. Additionally, most, if not all, of the backgrounds for the Dagorhir pages were created by me either through freehand drawing or using xpaint. A few of them, little swatches, are scans of things I thought would be interesting, my book bag, a guy's shirt, a leather chair cushin, and empty space.

If you're looking at this page now, come back in about a week, I have some new dagorhir feast pictures I edited. I'll put them on this page in a few days, once I figure out where I want to keep them.
