Tortoise & the hare
The rabbit image was taken from: mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/onsite/features/cat.php?day=200...
The exhaust was from: www.4wheeloffroad.com/techarticles/engine/131_0607_custom...
and the tattoo was from: www.barefootfloor.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/val...
- I increased the exposure a bit to brighten things up and bring out some more detail under the turtle.
- I also changed the gamma (unfortunately I don't really know what I'm doing with this setting but when I changed it I liked how it looked).
- I then created a layer without the turtle and used the smudge tool on the the background to give it that speeding look.
- I liked the idea of the tattoo so I resized it, rotated it and set the transparency to 50% so it blended in a bit better.
- I then found the rabbit online and put that in behind the turtle by having a turtle only layer placed underneath the rabbit.
- The last thing was to put the exhausts in (going for a powered up look) and add the flame. The flame was a round brush with soft edges. First using orange, then switching to blue to give it some heat. I didn't want it to be too overwhelming so I left the flow at 9% and filled in as much as i thought was necessary but so that you can still see the other side of the pipe through "flames'.
It's my first run at something like this and I had fun.
