Manipulation with some painting.

 

From my favourite part of The Last Waltz

[Vanillainy]

Hmm, i think i liked your other ones better, still pretty weird.

 

How long it take?

[Platinum.]

I love the colours, Dakin. Good job, I can't give you any expert advice but my eyes like it.

[Dakin]

Thanks.

 

About 3.5 hours.

Damn! how do you do that/what techniques do you use/where did you learn how?

[Dakin]

I use a combination of techniques that I developed for the most part through my own experience.

I typically reproduce or partially reproduce the image I'm playing with by digital painting in Photoshop, and extend the canvas with more painting (in this case the photo was tightly cropped on boths sides of the stage, so I widened the canvas and painted from scratch and duplicated parts of the image to widen out the scene) to give myself more room to manipulate in.

From there, I use portions of the layers I've digitally painted over the image, duplicating them and manipulating layer styles, opacity, and some filters to add depth. I add new layers with painted effects/glows/etc., and I fine-tune the colour using Colour Balance, Hue/Sat, and Brightness/Contrast layer masks throughout the image. Sometimes I use a gradient layer near the top to add a hot/cool colour contrast.

All the while, I extend the canvas size and duplicate the image with vertical/horizontal flips to create the pattern or mirrored effect. This sometimes happens more than once, and less noticable painted layers are added on top of the duplication in order to break up the perfect symmetry that occurs from the mirrored images. I usually finish by sizing down the image to a reasonable size and applying a Sharpen filter or two.

Thanks.

In simplistic terms:

 

Repitition and manipulation.
