This one is a tutorial from the same website as the previous picture. It was very difficult getting everything to look natural and surreral at the same time. Once again the blogger's English is a real problem.~Kingsley

Surreal Landscape
I made this "landscape" word for word off of a tutorial by http://www.psdtop.com/, which had nice visuals and was great because it provided the stock photos, but somewhat confusing because the tutorial isn't exactly "step by step", he takes big leaps. His English is also fair at best, so its sometimes hard. I learned a LOT though.The picture is a composite of three separate images, spread over about 8 layers. Took about 2 hours to complete.

Who are we?
Hey Guys,
So now that Kingsley has gone mental with special effects and photoshop, I thought it was time to introduce you all to the staff before you think you're in the wrong place.
First, let me make it clear. Everyone on the staff is a student. Second, the staff is subject to grow and change, just as the underground grows and changes.
Members of the staff will post news, updates, logos, or whatever, whenever they feel like it. Today, it's me, tomorrow it'll be kingsley boring everyone with some new tutorial about how to make the color change every two seconds--I bet there is actually something like that out there, but that's beside the point.
Anyway, back to the staff. Our staff (right now) is composed of a bunch of students, tired of having no true place to express themselves without the instruction of teachers, and ready to voice their opinions on any subject in the world. Don't be surprised to one day find a piece about alarm clocks and the next day a piece about trees. Its a diverse staff and a diverse world.
Like I said before, we also want students from every corner of the universe to subject whatever they feel like, and chances are we'll post it up here. So help us create this create a world of literary masterpieces.
Okay, I'm officially done with all my ranting and raving. So the staff:
Kingsley (as you have met before). Kingsley is a brilliant photo-shopper and writer. He is also the most technology advanced, so if there are any problems with the blog or email, feel free to blame (and yell at) him.
Alby--the insanely amazing artist who will no doubt guide us into this new phase with dazzling design ideas. And her astounding wit.
Arden--another fabulous artist and design extraordinare. She was the master mind behind this whole operation and will continue to be absolutely amazing as we move forward.
I hope you enjoyed meeting the staff. You'll continue to get to know them as they figure out technology and post new and even more exciting blogs.
Until next time,
Jude

Welcome.
Hey Guys,
Welcome to the first posting of our new blog: The Literary Underground.
Students ourselves, we know teens want to be heard. We want to be heard. So, we have decided to create an online literary extravaganza for the benefit of everyone
This blog is not just our blog, but also the blog of every imaginative student in the nation. We want you to send us art, prose, poetry, music lyrics, or anything else you want. We are here to be a creative outlet for anyone who wishes to express him or her self without the fear of being judged.
Eventually, we hope to extend this tiny blog out into a full-fledged website and literary magazine. But, we can’t do it without your help. In other words, send us your work!
So write.
Draw.
Design.
Compose.
And send us your work!
