Dark Art Photoshop Manipulation

Hi there - Here's some of my artwork on Photoshop 7.0 (soon to be CS!) - My deviantart homepage

My latest is a piece called Thanatophobia. Here is the image (also found in my gallery linked above!)

haha if I'd look like that I wouldn't fear death - it would be my cousin!

it's a nice piece - not my favorite style but I like it.

Looks pretty good..except for the black thing coming out of the mouth. The whites on that thing are very sharp and don't blend very well into the piece.

My god, that's ugly... Good thing that's his purpose ;)

Could we see the original photograph?

Looks really great man... maybe some reference pics to show the amount of time and effort im sure you put into it. It looks really great man. Please post links instead of posting images directly into the forums from now on, makes things flow a little better

Great work and welcome to teamps!

Sorry about that, x_fusiun_x - I wouldn't normally do that - a bit of a lapse there! :p

And sure, I'll briefly tell you guys a bit about how I worked with this -

My technique was moslty layer work using 5 main elements:
- The skull
- The mouth
- The eye
- The prison bars and
- A texture overlaid.

Here are 2 of the main original images; the skull and mouth: (Large images)

The other 3 aren't online, but were pretty much basic features as are the elements above...

Thanks for the welcome, and your comments are much appreciated!

That.. is... true.. evil.. dead.. mmmm... tasty ^__^

Damnit man, that work is awesome, great job ^_^

I really like it. Its really sorta dark on my screen though, I cant see all the details.

The best way to view and work with art is to have your monitor settings on default so that colours are true - it's a real shame when work isn't seen at it's best...and I absolutely hate having my screen this bright but I've had to compromise hehe.. :rolleyes:
