| CREDIT TO ARTISTS FOR ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHY: Bubbles: [link] Fish: [link] Cat: [link] Assignment: Using only photoshop brushes, re-create (however realistic or stylized) a photo. I chose to composite 3 photos. Original assignment in black and white, color added later. Please visit links above to see the original images. I would like to stress that I in now way take credit for the original images--only for combining, coloring, and re-creating them with brushes in photoshop. Having said that, it has been a very long time since I made an image that so well expresses a part of my personality and makes me as happy as this one does! I'm not sure whether I like the B&W or color one better. LIke 'em both for different reasons. I found the photo of the cat first and fell in love with it, but wanted to make it a little bit more conceptual. Not really sure what the idea behind it is, but I seem to have a fascination with topsy-turvy ideas. Since the cat is in the bathtub, where the water usually is, why not put a fish in the air? Perhaps the cat is dreaming of fish. Or perhaps the fish and bubbles are really floating away, and the cat is simply looking at us with pure bewilderment? Open for interpretation. Let me know your thoughts! |
