PATANKAR Photo Contest – Kayla Woodrunner

Just one of those things. I had intended to do a straight photo of me painting Patankar so I stood on the docks next to the easel and made a "painting" of the scene to downsize and copy unto the easel. As it turns out, I liked the painting so here it is.

 

Patankar contest: Winner gets 5,000L. Deadline May 31th.

Note: Very cool sim. Lots to explore with a lot of vignettes in different areas.

 

Camera and Lighting:

Firestorm

In Photoshop, starting from bottom layer

Windlight water: [NB] Turbid reflections for all layer

 

To create the "watercolor" effect

Layer 0. Windlight Sky: [Tor] Sunrise - Breaking Firmament

Layer 1. Windlight Sky: [Tor] Sunrise - Barcelon 2 (Blendmode: Lighten, Opacity 50%)

Layer 2. Windlight Sky: [Tor] Sunrise - Frenlite (Blendmode: Multiply, Opacity 50%)

Note on Frenlite: changed the time a little on Frenlite to deepen the colors a tad

Layer 3. Levels to deepen the colors, reset the middle point from 1 to 0.64

Layer 4. Made a new layer

Use Alt + Merge visible to put all of it on one layer.

Layer 5. Made a copy of this new layer.

Layer 4. Used Filter Gallery: Ink Outlines with no dark intensity and a lot of light intensity to bring out the ocean

Layer 5. Did the same thing again: still not dark intensity but dialed the light intensity to almost all the way to the left side too

Set Layer 5 to Blend mode Darken and opacity 70%

Note: the Ink outlines made a black outline line around the trees and house which I cloned over. Had to clone on both layers.
