A home made spaceship which successfully survived the journey to the moon.
The body is made from the windows of the car. The section was cut out flipped horizontally and merged, then duplicated, flipped vertically and merged again. The centre window section was filtered with the bloat tool.
The lights and grill looking things are made from the headlights and front grill of the car. The legs are made from the bumper bar. The light beams are made with the paintbrush and radial blur tool. The background is a combination of the source images listed below. (5 years and 1050 days ago)
Oh my goodness gracious, this one goes out of the ballpark. Your creativity rocks and now , all thanks to your post, you are inspiring me. The colour palette is stunning and catches our eyes immediately. The diagonal placement brilliant. Thank you so much for posting this. I do wish you had put up the steps you used to create this....us peons (speaking of myself) would learn from your talent. Thank you again.
Hi Still26, I didn't bother adding an SBS because I thought the steps were obvious. However, since you ask, I simply used some topaz filters on the car image and blended them together on overlay. Then I copied and pasted the image to the table image and covered the book which was originally on the table. I used the perspective tool to change the perspective of the car so it looked like it was lying on the table and added a small drop shadow. I copied the hand from the source, pasted it on top of the car layer and added a drop shadow. I copied the brush from the source and replaced the pen in the hand with the brush. I made the top of the red brush by copying part of the lower section of it and flipping it horizontally, transforming it to fit and I rounded the top of it with the eraser.
OH my goodness....I can't believe the incredible creativity on this site. This post blew me away and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting how you did this. I am relatively new to this, and you have inspired me to try something too. Your post is realistic, the merging is really well done. Can I ask how long it took you to do this one?
Thanks for your comments Olga. This one took approx 3 hours but a lot of that time was spent trying to find source images and then decide what I liked and did not like in the combinations I was playing with. I spend a lot of time just playing around with possibilities and the work just takes on a "life of its own".
If I had all the source images to begin with, it would take less time.
I waste a lot of time in decision making and deleting things which I don't like in the end.
Thank you for your response. I enjoy learning from you very much.
It's always a pleasure sharing with you. I learn a lot from you too.
