Original image

step 1 of 5

First I took the original image and flipped it around to look at possibilities.
I decided it looked like a figure, so I added a pair of shades.

step 2 of 5

I took the clothes from a photo that I had taken recently at our school's band rehearsal.

step 3 of 5

I cut and pasted the body of the band student onto the dripper. I was careful to remove all the excess around the shirt to give a clean look. I also copied and pasted a section of the background to stretch the image horizontally.

step 4 of 5

The background is from my own photo taken in Kingsport, Tennessee...taken in he Fall of 2010. I have all rights to the photo and it has never been published.

step 5 of 5

Sorry...left out the source for the sunglasses. This is from a photograph I took at a recent music festival.

Sorry, I hit the button before I had all the steps finalized. My final step was to add shadow and burn in a few areas to give it a little more of a 3-d effect. I worked this out pretty quickly.

I realize I need to take a little more time with the step-by-step explainations. I have only used my photographs to complete the image...and of course the source image.
