Here is my 3rd image in the 5 round one-on-one Battle I’m doing on NAPP.
I named it "Strolling Through the Universe"
Rounds 1 and 2 can be found in this post.
Another member on NAPP challenged me to a one on one battle in which we bat images back and forth between each other keeping at least one element from the previous to create a new image. The battle is for 5 rounds and so far I’ve done 2 – below are the images I’ve created.
First here are the starting images I used for the first round. The image of the girl is what was served to me.
Completed image.
And here is my 2nd round.
Hard to believe I haven’t posted since 24 August… Well actually maybe not… I lost a harddrive in there right before Labor Day Weekend… No data was lost – luckily I regularly backup… but it did take awhile to get things back up and running smoothly.
Battle 131 started with:
I rendered some cylinders in Illustrator and then set the image as the surface to come up with with the fireworks. The wicks were made with a custom brush I created in Photoshop and the fire was simple painted:
Then there was Battle 132‘s starting image:
I used the pen tool in photoshop to trace several of the front petals and then took 3 of the petals and morphed them into a butterfly wing. That was then duplicated and rotated about the horizon to create the butterfly…
Finally, last weeks (Battle 133) image was:
The framing on this was created using another image from stock-exchange of a bamboo ladder.
Today after mass we went to get Jon a haircut before school starts Wednesday and then stopped at a local farm for some veggies and ice cream cones.
Afterwards I walked a bit around the farm and found this Thistle and Bumblebee.. All I had with me was my little PS Canon SD800IS but loved how the shot came out 🙂
