Botticelli Baby

April 15, 2008

I’m very proud of this image for a new shirt I made this evening… from idea to shirt to ad… in one evening. I work far too quickly for my own tastes sometimes, and I suppose it leaves me more prone to slight errors.

Armidi hair, Aden bangs, [CRAP] Eloh Re (Youthful) skin, [CRAP] Denim in Medium.

To get this effect: Gaussian blur as desired, smudge out any left over pixels and fill in anything that needs to be filled with both the paint tool and the clone tool. Play with the Shadow & Highlights (Image Menu), copy & dual layer the image. Make the 2nd layer (on top) full capacity sepia tone and set to multiply over the first layer. Make one last layer and with your eyedropper, pick up a color from the image’s own pallet. Take your square brushes and make a border, go to layer properties (as you did with the second layer) and set to 80% opacity.

Couple more after the cut, but not the exact same technique.

This last one is Iris’ favorite.

I also have a project coming up, so I’ll be announcing that as soon as I get my TEXTURES… *glares at Marni* ;) (Busy girl, that one!)
