I never was much of a collector, but a year or two ago, I started collection images that I liked that had a vibe going for them. The girl you see was in one of them. I don't know what I'll be doing with the images, but I know I can come back to them and still like them. So, a couple of hours of uninteresting class later, I came up with this.
I started with 3 basic images for my composition: the girl and two images of mountains. I got those placed like I wanted and started editing on the girl. I then added clouds near the mountains for blending. Topping it all off by building the galaxy as background and blending for the girl, I only had adjustments to make to the colouring. Watch my progress in a short video below!
While this isn't commercial work and I did this more to hone my skills and work on my portfolio, I could imagine seeing this on the wall or - with added text - on a magazine cover. Do you agree?
Check out how I built the image in 14 steps below. It gives you an insight mainly into how I layered several images to create my own galaxy and how I tried to transform the already gorgeous girl to really fit my idea.
Not sure why, but the quality seems to be lacking when uploaded here. Sorry about that.
