OK, since it's old I will leave it well enough alone. Why did you post something so old? Why not post something more current that might better represent you skill level now?
Hmmm, good question. I suppose I posted this one because I created it for me, even though it was a gift for a friend. In other words, it wasn't commissioned work, and that's mostly what I do. Also, and I hate to admit this, sometimes, with work like I posted, I'll be inspired 'just in the knick of time' as they say. In other words, at the last minute. So I sometimes tend to rush to 'get it done'. And that means that the final results aren't always as 'perfect' as when a client is sort of looking over my shoulder.
On the other hand, I can do what I want. So in the case of this piece, I had originally intended it to actually 'look' a little more painted, as opposed to a perfectly rendered realistic piece. That's why the large speakers look 'bumpy'. But I left many of the other elements too photo realistic...a result of my propensity for doing things at the last minute
Anyway, the latest stuff I've worked on isn't quite as interesting, but I can post it...not sure if I should start a new thread, or post here? It was a job for an event planner where I took their mostly bad photos and created tear sheets. It entailed removing backgrounds, changing heads, etc
