Since I'm still paying for Pixelsquid I used it today together with one image and some brushes



to get this

Like it a lot, very nicely done. I had to search for the grave name ( I'm not a golf suporter XD)

Cheers!

 

[Eggy]

Thanks. I'm not a golf fan eighter so I had to look up an old deceased one...

Nicely done Eggy I think I'll be one of them before I get one of those

 

[Eggy]

Thanks Ged.
Nah, just keep on playing and experimenting and mostly having fun...

Nicely done, Eggy! But I guess he's not gonna make par....

 

[Eggy]

No Jerry, as long the owner of that patch of ground is holding him back he's gonna bogey many times again and again...:biglaff:

Wow... another excellent composite to add to your "dark series".
As always I really like the small details that tell a story and I'm fascinated how you manage to create this eerie mood in your image.

Thanks Chris.
A bit of 'dark' humor isn't gonna kill anyone...:biglaff:

A started with a black canvas 'original is 5000 X 3500 px)
On top of that I applied a 'fog' brush in big size and somewhat greyish.
Then I opened the grass layer and squeezed it vertically to 3/4 of the canvas and applied a gradient black to transparant to make the grass and the misty background fluent.
I reduced the saturation much.
That's for the basic work.
Then I started playing with the Pixelsquid objects, adding a black color adjustment layer over them and brush away the light parts ect...
Added the shadows, dodging and/or burning and made a composite snapshot, level adjustment and camera raw filters and voila...
