The first entry from Team-Evil-Crypt.... Cast in order of appearance...Photography by Avi and Tracy...Manipulation also by Tracy.. and expert (cough cough) advice supplied by Grim! :-D The scraps for this image.
very cool, looks like a scene from doom or something. I think a little soft wide rounded bevel in the layer blending would help the characters look a little less 2d.
looks a bit dark to me as well...didnt look that way last night when we were viewing it...
to go on and explain the reasoning in this one - as did Grim with Cabal - I was stumped for a little while as to what to do. I looked around my house and just could not come up with anything clever. Grim and Avi were requesting photos of certain things...and then it hit me...I live with 4 kids. Toys! Toys dominate my home. So, I wanted to make an image where the toys came to life. And here ya go. Avi supplied the background and suggestions - Grim stayed up quite late with me tweaking this one. I dont think it's exactly where we wanted it...but, pretty darn close. Toys, toys, toys!
yes, if you click on the word "scraps" in the description you can see what photos I made this image with. the flying ships are hot wheels toys, the figures in the middle are also toys, one Jedi and one figure designed my Todd McFarlen ( that one is mine...I love his work). One fo the buildings is a screw, one is also made from a computer part and the street lamp is...well, I'm not sure what that is...you would have to ask Avi about that one. But, it's all stuff that we found around our house. : )
That is a nice idea. I understand now. I didnt really understand the first one of these that you did. Im glad you explained it a little better. That was a clever idea to make toys come to life.
I like constructive criticism. So dont be offended by me... I mostly I am honest so that you are honest with me as well. I want to know how I can improve.
wow, this is quite different than the others entries. lot of actions here, very dark and moody... looks like a video rpg^^. the only thing not really necessary for me is the sky... it take off the feel of being in a crypt or something...
a great team work though !^^ well done
