Background Test 1

This is NOT a final image. Rather, it's the test of a background for a lurid pulp magazine cover I'm making. But I thought someone might be curious as to all the things wrong with this image. First of all, I'm using a mixture of actual props set against a 2D background. That's painfully obvious in the case of the row of torture implements to the left of the model. The background is slightly out of focus, and the 'objects' supposedly hanging on the wall aren't. My choices are remove the implements, ditch the 2D background, or blur each instrument to match the wall. I haven't decided yet. The final image will feature a different helpless victim bound in the foul kidnapper's lair, different clothes, and my fearless female private eye in the foreground, guns blasting. And since this is all background, most of it will be obscured anyway -- but it's a lot easier to fix problems now than once you're merged all the layers. That leads to bad language.
