***FULL VIEW ****or ya cant see it!****


This is what I vision my last moment in this life to be... All the people I love, things I enjoyed doing (IE yoyoing while wearing a Tool shirt), all flowing through me one last time in a fleeting synapse. That’s the feeling I wanted to share in this piece... If you know me, there is someone you know the picture. If you’re in it, I love you :) Take a long look at the people's faces, I picked my favorite base pictures of them... They tell a lot about the people... I promise ;)

All base pictures pics by me except:

Matt - taken by*Inspiremetangerine [link]
Jenny - My dad (big Salcito) [link]
Angie - Her boyfriend Shawn

Well... I would say I know Photoshop filters like that back of my hand, they are so robust so, play around until you dont have to *think* about what is going to happen... thats the first step... For this I used a Polerization (intensity and polerzation at max, then line thickness to taste) and Cutout filter togeter with cutout being the top layer... This makes the cartoon effect (If blended correctly (I belive I used 'liner dodge' 'overlay' and 'darken' mostly on this one). You could actually make an action for this if you wanted... I also used a Nik Color efects pro 2 "Moday Morning" filter to warm up cold areas (like the lower-mid right) with brighter colors, I used a soft paint brush for that... I did it in one night (5 hrs) and 18 layers. I really thank you about the atmosphere comment... That EXACTLY what I want people to think and feel when they look at this, which brings me to my last point and probly the most important. Get the right base pictures (repeat sentence that 5X) aka just have a concept done in your mind, the rest flows dude... I NEVER use other peoples base pictures because I like my art to be "My art" but in this case some of the right pictures weren't mine :( and since this piece was more an emotional metophor...You get the point. You also get a gold star for getting me to type this long without being sidetrack-Whoa! Cookies

Thanks a bunch and hit me up if you have anyother questions...
