Another before and after work

[nataloran]

Hello All,

Here is an image I still had the before with me, I made it a while back... Hope you will like it ;-)

Ok here is the before (I promised the before is the green one, don't tell me it is better please hahahha)



And here is the after ;-)


As you can find out, it required taking off background, some brushes that I lighted up, picked up some wings that I transformed, and I ligthen up the avatar too to have an angelic white shirt and some burn and dodge tools work on it too as well as liquify to smoothen the pixels, and then finalised with a soft reflection.

This was called "um ave no chao" meaning a fallen Angel in Portugese ;-)

Hope you like it ;-)

Have a great smashing day !

The only thing that caught my attention is the fractal flames, they seem a bit noisy, specially on the bottom left side, another thing will be the reflection, you could make it fade from top to bottom via layer masks and gradients.

Other than that, it looks pretty cool.

I think it´s great, but to me it looks like it should be rotated, I keep bending my neck to try to see it straight. I don´t understand why you have done that, am I missing something?

[nataloran]

Thanks all for your comments first of all. The idea was not to catch attention on the fallen angel, the idea was to get the image as a all only. I did not want to focus the details on the guy... I agree that the brushes were poor resolution sadly. Now the reflection was on purpose, cause again the attention should be focused on the scenery ;-)

And Vanaff hmmmm it is called fallen angel so has he falled he did not fall in his feet (suppose his wings were not working anymore :p), in fact I had that raw shot and I did not know what to do with it lol, this is what came to my mind ;-)

Thank you again for your comments and have a lovely day ;-)

Nice one Nat! Maybe it wouldn´t hurt to add some shadows and dept to the guy tho.
