This is the final image.
My original concept for the image was of a miniaturized "me" swining from a rope in the abyss of my room. However, I have evolved from that idea to this concept. If I had continued with that concept however the output may have looked a little bit like this:
That is pretty fail, but it was an idea and I wanted to stick with the motif of an escaping artist. The foreground, which I refer to as a "Cheeto forest" is actually a picture of my human hair. I used numerous tools to make it seem like I was emerging from the forest: clone stamp tool, polygonal lasso tool, quick selection tool, brush, eraser, blur, etc... Eventually I got to the end result and added some gradient to increase the light and a rope to reach for.
These are the variations.
I dig the top middle and top right variations the most.
ReplyDeleteVery convincing, The light around your hand is flawless and you did a good job of blending the noise and cutting around the hairs, Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI really like that your environment isn't exactly recognizable, it also reminds me of the Borrowers! Really great job matching the lighting.
