Space and Aliens |
Space and Aliens. I used vibrance, levels, and selective color on this original image and used clone stamp tool to remove haziness in middle of aliens. When i placed the planet, i used selective color on it also and cleaned it up with the clone stamp tool. Finally, as I placed the sun into the picture, I used gaussian blur on it and lowered it's opacity. That's why it has a nice smooth glow around it. And just for fun (didn't know if this was allowed), i used the brush tool with 10-15% opacity, 30% flow and drew some colored gas around the stars. I got the stars from placing this black cape-like gown on top of scanner and as the scanner went across, it capture all the tiny holes in the cape and that's how you see these little white specs. This was a lot of fun.
Space |
Space. I used this green 3 prong handheld massager (aliens) along with my wedding ring as a wormhole device or solar eclipse (whatever you decide it to be).
Planet |
Planet. I used a small candle light holder and placed it faced down on scanner and this is what I got. I used quick selection tool and placed it on the space picture I had already.
Sun |
Sun. I shined a light on scanner and this is what I got. I then cropped it out and used a gaussian blur for it so it looked more like a sun with a smooth glow as you see in the final collage.
Decor Plant |
Decor Plant. I used a little saturation and vibrance to bring out the colors a bit. That is all I did. I was pleased with the outcome.
Brandon, I thought your scanned image was very creative. The whole alien theme looked really awesome. I really like the colors of the clouds in the image as well. I thought it was really neat how you used a cape with holes to create stars. I also think that you borders are fun and really go with the colorful beads images. You really did a great job.
ReplyDeleteYour "Space and Aliens" image is absolutely imaginative. I loved how with just a little tweaking, you took completely ordinary objects and turned them into an interesting picture. Very well done.
