I've wanted to enter a contest for a while to try out new things... so here are my entries. :D
I haven't watched The Greatest Showman, which is the origin of the prompts for this contest, but I plan on doing it sometime this week, though I do love some of the songs a lot.

Prompt #5 ; 'This is Me'
So, because I recently got PS, I got a bunch of watercolor brushes and wanted to try that out. And can I just say how much I love the Filter Gallery in Photoshop?
I had a lot of fun with this entry, and I tried to creatively incorporate the text. But now it looks like 'Look out because here I come' is the title instead of 'This is Me'. OTL

I'm not really sure if I used the bonus or not because on AFF, 'manipulation' makes you kind of think of adding hybrid animal features or photoshopping someone's face on a different person's body-- all of which I didn't do because I thought that would be weird for a poster with 'coming of age' as a genre to have those sorts of manipulation. Wikipedia said it was just changing lighting and whatnot though, so I still don't really know what manipulation means for the bonus and you can either count it as manipulation or not, I guess?

Prompt #6 ; 'Tightrope'
This one was made with my old program, so that's why it resembles my old style more haha. I've never really made a movie poster before, so I tried making it a little more simplistic texture-wise so it looked like an actual movie poster and not a fanfic poster. I was really upset though because there was a cool starry-night background, except it got covered up by the other images rip. 
The two people on the poster, in case you couldn't tell already, is Zhang Yixing (Lay) + Dai Si. I used Lay because, well, I like working with EXO members, and I used Dai Si because I recently watched her in the drama 'The Flame's Daughter' (烈火如歌), and I loved her role as well as her role in 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' (三生三世十里桃花), so I couldn't help but use her. She is soooo pretty, and her pictures work perfectly with the 'tightrope' theme i was going for. <3
