I decided to redo this project because i wasn’t happy with the original.i felt like my emotions weren’t reading well in the photo. i also want to go for an entire different concept and theme. I wanted something more artistic with a futuristic/spacey theme.
I took my new photo and chocolates the best one and Brought it into photoshop. then i found royalty free images to create assets for the scene. I started by creating my background, i added in a sky photo in and i did a color overlay to make it darker. then i masked out some building for the scene.
i Added the photo of myself in and i edited and retouched the photograph then masked myself out of the original photograph. i had empty or where my hair was transparent, so those empty space had to filled in. This was a challenge for me because there are no default textured hair brushes and i knew id have to to do research and purchase some. but i didn’t have much time to do that so i found an alternative. Surprisingly cloud brushes matched my texture well so i was able to fill in those ends. then i added a hue and saturation layer to myself self and painted my skin Pink! Next i started painting my in the eyes. it was big of a challenge but i eventually got it and painted in some purple alien like eyes and i also painted in back lashes. Then i used the same hue and saturation method to colorize my hair a dark blackish purple.
To finish up I added stars and the moon and as well as an additional city skylines in background.I added this bridge in the foreground Just so you can actually get idea on how larger i am. i was inspired by a scene in the Blade Runner 2049 film.
