The Dark Side Of The Force

First of all, thank you Monica of Pixel Perfect for acknowledging my "mad skillz". It's an honor to be thought of. It really made my day!

So... more before/after stuff.

I had little this week... even this month... to work with. I haven't been taking many pictures due to busyness and my addiction to reading. My spare time is taken up with books books and more books. Also, I hate being cold, and apparently it's cold out. I say apparently because I'm not brave enough to check. And the light here in winter is not good everyday, so my inside photos are not turning out like I'd like. (And I abhor using the flash, so let's not even go there.)

Enough excuses.

Here's something I rescued from the X-mas files.

Evan and his new light saber. Jedi knight in training. And of course I'm too lazy to have him put on his karate gi, so I don't have any real authentic Jedi photos. Also, he's got a dark side, so I don't see him so much a Jedi knight as a Darth Evan. It suits him, no?

SOOC:

And here's the edit:

It's the smirk that says he's up to no good.

I adjusted levels and added some filters and a couple gradient adjustments to give him that darth edge. Also, he's trying to look fierce. Let's just go with that, shall we?

Until next time, may the force be with you.
