Photoshop, take 2

[giza]

Thanks to omnibahumut and film2edit for giving me some help with my previous picture. I touched it up a bit, and here is the result:



I duplicated the layer with keapano on it and then used a fuzzy eraser to get rid of some of the yellow that surrounded him.

I then added another layer which was used to hold the shadow underneath of Dolph. I drew one elliptical, blurred it, and then airbrushed his legs, and put about 50% opacity on the whole layer.

I'm pleased with the overall result, considering how new I am to working with graphics software.

I have to do this more often.


For anyone who is morbidly curious DR2 (the TV station that shows Dolph og Wulff), they distribute graphics which can be used for photoshopping on their website.

Theres still the problem tjhat teh fursuit is showing Flash lighting whereas dolph has a professionel 3 point light setup on him :P

That's one reason why I put Dolph in the background (and shrunk him), so that he wouldn't be "expected" to be illuminated by the flash.

If you have a Thing photo, maybe have Dolph at the beach or something. :)

dolph yay!

nothing much to critisize though... 'cept the lighting issue already stated.
Though... Dolph's shadow looks a bit too round, too steep change from shadow to shadowless carpet

It's round like his stomach. ;-)

Seriously, it was the best I could do in so little time. I'm going to spend some time practicing how to make better shadows, though.
