Instructions 


  • PART 1
  • For this work, the lectures have provided us with three images:
    • The primary uncolored image, the skin color image, and the hair color image

Figure 1.0: The primary uncolored image


Figure 1.1: The skin color image


Figure 1.2: The hair color image

  • To copy the chosen area, we must use the marquee tool to choose the color of the skin and hair. Then, we must use the shortcut key, M ctrl c+v . Next, copy the chosen area to the white picture, give it a new layer name, by naming it hair, skin or whatever features that you are applying layer on . Use the eyedropper tool to extract the color of the skin and hair. Additionally, adjust the sample size to 5 by 5 Average. Then, paint the highlight to the upper right or left of the grayscale image using an eyedropper. To choose the color for the highlight and midtone shadow, repeat the process.

  • Moving on, roughly select hair by using a quick selection tool, for further selecting details, we are suggested to refine selection in select & mask. Select the overlay options and choose a refined edge brush tool, brush over the edges to make the minutiae more clear and clean.

  • Moreover, select output to and select layer mask, create new solid layer and use the color picker to choose the hair color which we already extract at the beginning process. Moving on, drag & drop the hair layer mask to a new solid layer to replace the layer mask, select the soft light from the blending mode option, repeat the whole process for other features and wearing. Lastly, add a layer mask to the new solid layer, choose the right background color and blending mode, and done.

Figure 1.9 : The image that I choose for this task

  • To do so, we must search images online for skin hair references to recolor the image. The color that I extract from the ring for the wearing, as for the lady is for the hair, skin and eye color.

  • I used all the techniques and ways that have been taught last exercise to recolor the entire image. I felt that it is easier for me to control and apply the color and expectation that I wanted to the images. I shall make more improvement on learning photoshop and the techniques to use it by making more practices.

All audio had to be created independently, without using pre-existing or third-party sound sources.  I decided to work with Hollow Knight because its visual style and overall tone appealed to me creatively. Since I’ve played the game before, I already had a rough idea of how its world should sound, which helped guide my approach.  However, since I played the game a long time ago and couldn’t clearly remember how it sounded, I referred to a few gameplay videos to refresh my memory and get a better sense of the game's audio ...
