Light Project
Can I Keep It?
Photoshop CS5.5 and markers 5/17/2013 |
This is sort of a rough draft of the light project. My intention was to use a cut-out sheet of thick paper to create a shadow (either on a white surface or on a print of the photoshop picture) and then add it into the photoshop picture. The cut out was supposed to be in the shape of a giant dog (a bigger version of the one in the picture), and I was going to add glowing eyes to the outline of the shadow.
The point was to portray an apocalyptic scene in which a little zombie child found a zombie puppy and was asking "Can I keep it?" while the menacing shadow of the zombie dog's mother loomed in the background. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to effectively put the shadow into the picture and I couldn't find any photoshop tutorials that showed how to make a pure shadow figure (they all showed how to create a shadow for an existing object). So for now the picture remains unfinished. I did add a light effect to the eyes of the zombie dog and zombie child so it looks like they are glowing. Creating a glow effect was something new for me in photoshop. I also added a gray tint to the background so it the zombie silhouette was more prominent and the post-apocalyptic background was more of a second thought. I drew and colored the picture of the zombie and dog myself. |
