First off....IT'S NOT PORN! I was accused of being obscene when I first created this image, manipulated from another, in Photoshop for the purpose of using it as my MySpace background. For the life of me I can't find the original image, but initially this picture was of a guy--from behind--wearing briefs and angel wings for his Halloween costume. Somewhere along the line of me manipulating it, he ended up looking kinda nude.It was actually a pretty easy image to make. I started with a filter that broke the image down to only three or four colors, and then applied a second filter--"Glowing Edges" I believe--which gave it a very unique look as well as blacked out the background. After reapplying the first filter, the image got it's current chunky lined form and only showed the basic outline of the body. Additionally, although the "curves" feature has never made much sense to me, I was able to change the contrast of light and dark quite nicely I think. I never would have been able to sketch something like this by myself, hence I'm very thankful for the resources of Photoshop CS4.
Nice job!
ReplyDeleteAngels are often pictured nude anyway, though they often lack genitals. The devil and his minions, on the other hand, are usually pretty well-endowed.
