Feeling of emptiness


ben.goossens

Surrelisitic PS montage from many different photo's... no 3D involved.How it is made! There are 4 photo's involved: the mountains, the sky, the dull and a photo from a marble plate.First, i created the ground with the marble photo by using the KPT3 filter "Plana rtiling". I added a sky, which has been colored-in with the brush tool. On top of that, I added the mountains on a layer at 60% and the background wad finsished.The dull was photograped in a shop, I fist extrated it from the background and added the marble texture on a layer (in overlay). The whole was made with the oval selection tool, the dark part of it was painted with a brush and the rest is erased. Once the figure fineshed, I created the shadow and repeated all it 3 times. The egg was created with the marble plate photo, transformed with the option "Spherize", the light and shadowon the egg is done with the burn and dodge tool. At the end, I added the fog with a foto from clouds. Once everything t the right place, I flattened the image and it was finished.To make this photomontage, it tooked me 5 hours and a live time to photograph all the elements and many years of experience with photoshop.Sorry for my english.Best regards, ben

creative and disturbing. The egg and hole in the belly: separation from the fetus, in my read. The touch of fog/smoke passing thrugh the hole/belly is usperb. Excellent and absolutely originl. If I have a tiny nit, it's just about the fog ( if you didn't do it on purpose), I expected it to pass through the center/hole of the woman on the left. Wonderful hues and texture, too.

I can just imagine how much thinking and effort you put in it. It is done perfectly. Being a female, I can relate to this image very much. You are a great artist.

Paula, your suggestion about the fog comming true the left figure could impove the concept... thanks for the tip.

I will correct it.

Ben, this coicides with the US, "Roe vs. Wade," legalization of abortion ruling several decades ago. Message-wise, I'll just leave it at that.

 

Really well done, again! ^_^

The image is superb. I would like to know something more pedantic: how much time goes into a production like this and secondly, have you considered creating a tutorial to share your knowledge?

Very well done, you are really getting good at this :) My only minor comment is that the egg is not blending with the background as good as the rest, but maybe it's my monitor and the compressed size.

Great concept, very well executed. I agree with the previous comment about the egg not being integrated as well as the other components into the image but overall it's art gallery material.
