This is actually an image I did some rendering on for my friend, Levi, a couple years back. He was wanting some unique images of himself to send off to a modeling agency. Levi knew that I had done some image editing for Fire Mountain Gems, so he sent me a couple images. I WISH I still had the original to this photo to show, but it basically just used to be a black and white snapshot of him on a blanket in a park. I took the park out of the image, and colorized the image, including a tattoo of flames that he has on his shoulder. The visual quality TO ME of this image is not so great, but Levi seemed to really like the surreal look the colorization gave his skin.
After doing this picture was when I really started realizing that there could be career opportunities playing with pictures--or at least at being good in doctoring them! I had an ancient version of Photoshop that I used to do this image, but I found that I could really enjoy myself using the program. It seemed like a good start towards a potential career.
