Phunners ORIGINAL Collages & Edits

Yet another light and texture experiment.

 

I pass up so many potential projects (including this morning) because of perspective difficulties. You've done a perfect job with this one.

Never be unsure again. Your work is always welcome here, SK.

A big thanks to all contributors keeping this thread alive and sharing new ideas.

 

Awesome stuff SilentB! Would like to see the originals so to check out what you did with the lighting. The texture looks great!

 

Salli Richardson, Joanne Kelly, Debrah Farentino, Callie Thorne. Been geekin out on some Sci-Fi latley. Wasn't Familiar with Salli Richardson or Deborah until now, but thay are definatley on my radar now.. Also new to me is Joanne Kelly. Started watching Warehouse 13, and let me tell you, they have her suits molded to her. Hope they show her off more. Of course, Callie is just sex personified, if she's walking around with an open robe, you know I'm sure as hell capping it. Hope you all like, --Chum

 

just a little "re-shaping" the sun and adding some color...

Hey River. The source pic was the B&W and you colored it? If so that is a huge buch a awesome. I love this thread! I'm a cut and paste layer masking hack, yoou guys on this thread are true artists. Rock on.

 

Here ya go chum. Most of the lighting work was done after the texture layer was applied to bring out the layers underneath. I used Color Efex Pro for that after some tweaking with opacities and shading on that texture layer. The texture layer is one of my own photographs.

 

Excellent. Always love to see how people work.

Whats your layer stack? tex, rt, lft?

 

I almost always use a blank base having a similar color to the background of the photos so, actualy there was a 4th layer to this. It makes it easier to arrange the main subject/s if needed. The first layer was the sitting figure, flipped horizontaly. The 2nd was the face close-up and then the texture layer applied last.

 

On vacation ... means that I'm occupied full time with my home renovation ... but couldn't resist.

Scrubbed the concrete from my hands and took a break from renovating the house.

Just used the first images I came across from the celeb forum:

As you can see I've gotten rusty and rough in the fingers on the masking part although I'm pleased with the color and toning.
