Frozen

[Vafann]

This didn´t turn out like I meant it to at all. I was trying to make the woman look like she was frozen into the ice wall, but the only way I could figure out how to do it was with using some layers styles, and it looks totally wrong. I also don´t think the reflection works at all, but I don´t know how to fix that either.

I also wanted the text itself to look frozen, but I gave up on it, because it was too hard to do.

Anyway, this is how it turned out, if anyone knows how I could have done otherwise, please don´t be shy lol.

thats cool (literally) there are some filters you may want to try adding though like a soft glass effect to give it that ice cube look

Beautiful! Love the blue feeling! But sad when thinking about that summer is kinda over by now and we´re heading for something similar to that phrozen h*ll as shown in your artwork.. sigh!

Thank you Hoogleman! I will try using filters, I always have problems with them though, because I don´t seem to able to use them unless I´ve flattened something first. I´ll have to read up on that!

Thank you Fenix! Yes, it´ll be cold again soon, and we haven´t even really had any summer yet, sigh.

Vafann,

I say keep working on it. Find an on-line tutorial that has the look you want, and go for it!

Like Hoogle said, try the filters. Glass is a really good one and I used glass with plastic wrap over it to get an icy effect in letters. As for the reflection, decide what it's reflecting on. Then bring your distance closer and make the reflection shorter than the figure itself. If the reflection is over a bumpy surface (and I realize it isn't in this picture), just warp it a bit. You could try a displacement map if you have the energy for that. I would take the easy way and do a warp first. Just duplicate it before you mess with it. Also bend the angle with a distort or perspective transformation, or even the warp. Is your figure suspended in the air? If the reflection is meant to be on the "wall," then I would distort it so that it falls behind and bends with the angle where the walls meet.

It's Cool (ha ha). I really do like it Vafann.

Here's a not very good distortion transformation. I chose the ice wall to his side for reflecting. Just decide what is doing the reflecting. In the situation, it may be multiple places, but you could pick one and few would question it!

Hi Vafann

Nice Try, but I know you can do a lot better, you just need some Frozen tips and patience

This may help you whit some tips on getting that effect
How to Create a Human Being Frozen

The frozen text is a pretty simple effect
Frozen Text

The reflections effect it's basically created by using a layer mask and a basic gradient like in this tut.

Hope this helps

I think I'll enjoy them all. Tx again.
