The picture above was my very first attempt at using Photoshop, so of course I hade to make it of Goji. As you can simply tell I took an image of S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla and spliced him into an underwater scene and (key word) ATTEMPTED to add a shadow under him.
Ok so when it came to make a channel icon for my account, I went a little bit over board. As you can see it is overloaded with different images and words. When I first loaded it to the channel it looked a heaping of crap. You could barely see each individual image. So I took it down, but I kept it as a little keepsake as my first attempt to improve my YouTube channel.
This is my second attempt at using Photoshop. As you can tell I got a little ballsier by adding two more images into the mix. The Godzilla logo was thrown in because the hype was real with this one for Godzilla (2014). Both the Mothra and Godzilla images are taken from the HEISEI films because those are my favorite of the Godzilla franchise.
So after the mess that was my last attempt at making an icon I went back to the drawing board. I knew I wanted to keep the TOHO logo along with Godzilla 90s. I believe that specific Godzilla 90s was from the PS2 port of Godzilla Unleashed. Anyway I made both my own logo along with the Godzilla 90s image bigger than my last attempt. As of right now this is still my icon for my account. For now it will stay as my icon until I make ore a better one or it might not even change at all.
Now this is quite the behemoth of a banner picture. You might ask "Josh why is this so big? Did you make it for Godzilla himself?" Well the answer is surprisingly simple, this is the official YouTube banner size. Where it shows the 'Tohofan122 Productions' along with the TOHO logo is what you see when viewing my channel on a mobile device. Where the two Godzilla 90s heads are is what you see on the regular YouTube page on the internet. Lastly you would see everything else when viewing my channel with the YouTube app on a TV. This was a pretty ambitious project for me, but it does look pretty sweet on my YouTube channel.
My very first attempt at making a movie poster. I made this using one of the best programs, Photoshop. I made this poster because I found an unfinished stop motion I had made during my Junior year of high school. I am finishing that video very soon. So after finiding it I decided it would be cool to make a poster for the animation. I had my friend Kait's help on some of the shading and stuff like that. In the end I am very impressed with my end result. I hope you guys enjoy it as well.
This right here is my prized pocession. It's an original (ok not the actual original copy) piece of art drawn by none other than MATT FRANK from IDW Comics. Yeah that's also his autograph in the bottom lefthand corner. (This is so gonna get framed and hung in my room!)
These are all the comics I got autographed during Jetpack Comics' Free Comic Book Day. The first of the comics I had signed was Godzilla Legends #1, Matt said this was one of his favorite issues that he's done because it is a self contained story. Also the Godzilla desing in the book is one of his own, TOHO has dubbed it the Frankzilla (or Mattzilla, I was a bit starstruck). He said there is even a rumor that they might make it into a figure. The next issue was Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #1. Then I got Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #25 signed. The last comic I had signed was Project Nemesis #1. It was also signed by Jeremy Robinson along with a third guy who's name I don't remember so if ya recognize the signature let me know ( it's towards the bottom of the cover.)
So I met Matt Frank...IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! It's definitely the highlight of 2016 for me. He is a great guy andit was a real pleasure being able to talk to him. I will have more about the whole metting in my blog about that day. Yes that is Jeremy Robinson photobombing the picture.
So a few months back I made a video about entrepeurship for a state competion here in Vermont and remember how I said my team won an award, well here it is! This has got to be one of my highlights for the year. Grant it we only got an honorable mention (or 4th place to make it sound better) but it's still awesome that a stop-motion video about Godzilla shopping got an award. That was a great day.
