Some composite work with stock models again. No guns, no rubber, as requested by my wife :)
The background is a composite of images taken while on a shoot at Pentillie Castle in Cornwall.
Model: Zinn Star by Marcus Ranum
Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
Sorry for those who commented on the original image - I made the image public before I realized I needed to make the 4 images square!
Just having some fun with Cola and MS Photodraw! Lost some of the clarity but I'll have to work on that!
I changed the title thanks to getthebubbles!
Two nomads, friends of old, meet on a deserted plain. There's a definite Middle Earth vibe to this one. Apart from the Dartmoor background and the sky, it's CGI all the way again and composited in photoshop.
I have uploaded a new version of this image after realising the horses tail had no hair. My usual hair brushes in Photoshop are not so great, but thanks to Pareeerica, I now have some lovely hair to play with on my comps. When I feel brave enough, I will have to try them out on a human rather than a horse :)
Big thank you to Pareeerica for helping me out with hair effects by CindysArt
Model stock is mine but I haven't uploaded this session into my stock account yet.. :D
Other great stock was provided by these DA artists: frozenstocks, papayapirate, elevit-stock, aledjonesstocknart, starscoldnight, redheadstock, gothlyllyon-sotck

This is a new technique that I am trying. It produces a type of antique effect. The photo was taken with a point and shoot camera.
This composite image relates to a blog post I wrote about image manipulation. When I overlaid two versions of Florence Nightingale's portrait, a third face seemed to appear. Not what I wanted, but I like the effect.
I wanted to reimagine what human hybrids would look like mixed with alien DNA.. Than I decided that humanity would eventually become united with some sort of fantasy space federation of hybrid humanoids.. This image is the result of that fantasy..
Universal Man..!!!
turned on pandora yesterday & lady in red was the first song that came on. it instantly made me think of this image. the original color of the corset was black velvet.

A little more hillbilly/rockabilly flavour to this one.
They were shot separately on grey and everything was composited in photoshop.

Model Miss Mosh by Marcus Ranum
I rendered the tank, gizmos and environment in 3D, outputting to transparent PNG files which makes the compositing process so much easier. Marcus Ranum's model was shot against grey which meant I could use my usual blend and mask technique to bring it all together.
It took a couple of go's to get the objects and environment to match the low, wide angle perspective of the model, but I'm fairly happy with the result.
Apparently the full moon of May 31 is really a blue moon. However, a "blue moon" occurs when there is a second full moon in the same month, which happened in May 2007.
This picture was taken just after sunset. The full moon was out but was not directly over the city as in this image. So...I combined one shot of the full moon with a shot of the city and gave the picture an overall blue tint in PS :o)
A wistful look at those of no fixed abode. Always moving on...
My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.
All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality.

Abstract with newsprint. Photo collage of images with effects processed and created using PaintShop Pro and Picasa3.
I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,
and in the flickr Amazing Circles group: www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/116859/
I Am using the basic wondrous polar coordinates transformations as beautiful in and of themselves, but also as starting points for grounding them in their origins and/or creating new relationships for them.
Thank you Marcus Ranum
Something a little more soft and gentle. The model, Zinn Star, was on a grey background which once again was a big help in the compositing process that enabled me to drop her into the rendered banqueting hall scene.
Here's a before and after comparison
The caribou is a symbol of Canadian wilderness. It appears on our 25-cent piece. Sadly, the caribou is disappearing and was declared a threatened species in 2000.

A follow-up image to the 'Dreaming of Sunlight' idea I posted recently. I just wanted something that came close to a happy ending :)
I shot this background back in 2010 while down in St Mellion in Cornwall.
I have to apologize for the ropey resolution of this one. I accidentally reduced my original PSD file to Flickr size, saved it, and shut it down. No backup and I wasn't too chuffed about starting from scratch again. Hey ho!
A shot of Chris from the Bonneville Barons in 'good ol' boy' mode. I guess he should really have a banjo - but this is his main instrument. And yes, the chair is an authentic green plastic piece of crap from the 80's - sorry. Wanted a nice old wooden one.

Like the previous Sarah-Jane shoot this stuff is shot against a grey background and composited them into the scene incorporating various photoshop techniques to enhance contrast and the 'dodge and burn' look.

Thanks to DeviantArt for the background.
Funny thing. I was looking back through my very first attempts at composites posted just over a year ago and compared them to the stuff I'm doing now. It struck me that the techniques I use have changed slightly over the past 12 months and therefore wondered how those early creations would look if I attempted them using the methods I employ now.
Well, here we go. The image above is a revisit of the very first composite I did back in June 2012. The main difference apart from the general styling is the background. I hadn't discovered Daz Studio back then and got the background from DeviantArt. I didn't know it at the time, but it was actually done in Daz Studio anyway. My rendering has more detail and a slightly different room design.
I don't think it's necessarily better... Just different.
Its a creation for a friend of mine called "Y." for a very popular racing game "Trackmania Forever", as a screenie for his new track "Paradise Lost".

I usually wait a while before a revisit to an image - but this one needed some attention straight away. I've made more of the light falling on his arm and behind him and now it 'feels' better.
Apologies to those who viewed and commented on the previous version.

Another of my old favourite composites given a REDUX facelift and a bit of a colour shift.

Another first for me and my comps. I have always used real people in my composites, be they integrated into real backgrounds or virtual sets that are created in the computer.
I did once use a virtual tiger as my main subject. So I thought I'd give a 'virtual human' subject a go and then composite the elements together in the usual fashion and add the finishing touches like lights and bullet strikes.

1st manipulation where all the images came from my own resources. Some are in my private collection others can be found in my stock account on DA deathbycanon-stock.deviantart.com
Who knows how it came to pass that you find yourself stuck in the middle of a field, sitting on a steamer trunk next to a rusting pickup truck!! This is like a Rorschach test. Read into it what you will :)
