Make me an Avatar: Tutorial

I've received a lot of requests from people about making clearer the process of photomanipulating a portrait into a Na'vi Avatar-ish thingie... so I created the following tutorial in here, which will guide you through the process I follow to create such images.

This is my first tutorial using video, and it comes quite raw so, besides the photoshop process, you'll see several amazing features like:

  • My crappy english
  • Me repeating myself
  • Me clicking into other windows I am not supposed to be clicking (starring: my facebook account like by two seconds).
  • My photoshop being a bitch.

Here you have:

Is speeded up at 150%, to shorten up the process, and save you some download/learning minutes. As a plus, you will enjoy my supermelodic chipmunk voice ;D

Suggestions to complete or improve this tutorial are welcome. Hope you find it useful!

*laughing* While listening to your super-melodic chipmunk voice does have a high entertainment factor, would it be too much to ask for you to upload the original video as well, even though it is longer? Following what you did will only help me if I don't go insane by the end from all those high pitches ;)

(btw, thanks for making the video in the first place -- it's quite clear what you did and how, even with the small resolution of the video.)

Cool!

I made it that way because I though people would fall asleep through the overall process... I personally can't stand a video longer than 25 minutes (original one is about 47).

I'll try to render it again. Thanks for watching!
