For those of you who are interested, I’ve uploaded the .PSD file used to create this image. Feel free to open and see the step’s I used and hopefully learn something new. Please do not post this image as your own creation. I only supply the .PSD for those who want to learn and hopefully use some of the steps I used to create your own unique art.
This is quite a stunning picture. I like the overall grey-dark atmosphaire, the waves, and Death. Ths floating sceletons are a great touch!! THe scene is made even more imposing by the sheer size of Death - everything else is tiny in comparison.
There are a couple of things I feel could be improved, though. The guitar sounds, for istance. I don't know what kind of music he's playing, but death+guitar brings metal and electrical guitars in my mind. Anyway, I feel the 'sounds' coming from the guitar should be much more violent and fiery, to express fear and death etc. The way the light curves now, if it was eg green color, it could be a melody. Anyway, I just have the impression it should be something more violent, with more zig-zags Also, I feel the lightening isn't neccessary, the picture is already awesome as it is.
About the technical part, I don't know anything about photomanipulation, but I have to say it looks very realistic and so well -done!
Though: the lightning is too close for its size. I would have found it better if death and the machine for the guitar (don't know the English word) would stand ON the waves instead of IN the water. I like the corpses. What I don't get is the sense, the MEANING of the bluish-red beams. They totally destroy the atmosphere. If you meant them to warm up, I would have preferred an altogether warmer lighting altogether. And the total lack of a feeling in his posture irritates me a little....
This is pretty subjective, I know, but I just had to tell Like it anyway!
