Ashes....
Hi, all! Well,... what can I say about this piece? I had no idea what it would be til it was done..... Still not sure. lol. I usually mention that I like the Photoshop brushes and other resources made by Deviney on DAZ3d.com. Well, he came out with a set of acrylics, and I started playing with combining layers until I got something I liked. Then, I rendered a cyborg soldier and used some more brushes to create the rest, including the refinery images.
The soldier went through black and white colour change, erasing parts with smoke brushes, set to vivid light, and reduced transparency by 70%. That made him blend well with the background and come out of the image. Something was still missing, so I added the fire below, a few more smoke and ash brushes, and here we are. There is a gif below to show some of the steps.... (not necessarily in order).
As always, I had fun creating the piece. You never know what you're going to get.... at least I don't, which is part of the fun. By the way, piece was done primarily within Pixelmator image editor.
Thanks for looking, hope you like the work. Have a great day!
If for some reason you can't see the gif, see: Ashes...
It is incredible!
I love the subject! The unexpected is great.

Thanks! Always fun to have something turn out well, especially when you just start throwing things onto the digital canvas with no idea what it's going to be until it's finished. lol.
Flowing of the color is so amazing ~ It seems paint drawing ~Incredible art work ~ Fantastic ~
Thanks! Glad you like it. It's always fun to play with digital assets,... Never know what you're going to come up with until you're done. lol.
Wow, looks like unreal place with that editing. Cool

Awesome!
hehehehe this reminds me of one of those images that you make first by drawing random lines and curves
then you step back and look at how everything is laid out and "find" things that look like objects
then you color them in to make them stand out
hehehe
its almost like hidden art - you just keep looking all over to find some little secret :)
this image reminds me of that - i found my eyes glancing over everything to see what you had hidden somewhere hehehe
