To the portal of Uncertainity...

Photoshop gimmicks continues......

(click on image for larger version)



Another photoshop painting. I donno how the concept came to mind ...but when i drew it on paper ,i really wanted to work on it with photoshop. So, there gone my weekend ...but think it was worth spending two days.. wot u guyz think, any suggestions to improve? i knew my works sucks when it comes to detailing..but this time i've tried a lil more detail than usual...lemme know u'r comments... i've put a walk through of 'how i did it' with the pic ... hope u'd enjoy it ....



Here's where i started .... charcoal ,colour pencils and plain paper :)



Then started seting the main colour tone and mood of the scene in photoshop with a huge 5% opacity brush .....:)



Drew the main elements ...the girl and the portal ..... with mouse .. (uh, wish i had a tablet! mouse sucks while drawing directly on screen)



A bit more detailing ..then i avoided the girl and went into the portal (Zoom in) to do the detail with a 2 px low opacity brush :D... my whole Saturday gone with this part..


After the cleaning up and detailing of the portal, i started working on a piece of land whenre the girl should stand... i loved the look of the portal so locked the layer so that i wouldn't go in for more detail and mess it up as usual :D


More cleaning up ...detailing..some textures to the land..adding a few smoke tails and detail to the rock pieces.... still the girl's costume looked too bright asif she was from some stupid detergent advertisement :)



Final touches.... by this time i merged most of the layers and the went in with the brush and smudge/sharpen toold to do the rest..adding some depth ,i call it :) ... also put some dirt and shadow on the girl's pure-white costumes... and now i am happy!! :)


Well, the final image comes out. a singlelayer.. the last part was colour manipulation... i really wanted the image to be a bit darker and the portal to look a bit more hot.. adding a bit of red tint did the trick and pulling some points in the curve editor gave me more dark/bright balance ..and i stopped working on it..... satisfied. happy. :)


well, nw waiting to hear what u guys think and what more i could add .....

thanx for reading all that crap and watching guyz. :)
