I haven't seen your Viper before and I must say I really admire how compact
you made it (looks just like a real set!) while keeping all the destinctive
design elements of the ship.  Awesome work!

Oh, the photos are cool too!  The comic-book-style ones are pretty snazzy!
Very evocative!

Hello,

I have just started to dable with creating wallpapers and scenes of my • MOCs
using photoshop.

Here are some of my initial results so far:

<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=112226
<http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/drclark1/Artwork/viper_art3.jpg>>

<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=112226 brickshelf folder>

The original moc photo that I used is
<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=602891 here>.

I was able to sucessfully cut the viper image from the background though • it was
very tedious.  I suppose better lighting in the original photograph would • have
made that task a bit easier.  Assuming I improve my photography set up, is • there
a way to get photo shop to "auto-extract" the foreground image?

When I pasted the viper image into the background I used the "blur" tool • to
soften the edges to eliminate the cut-paste look.

Last I added the vapor trail on its own layer. using pure white paint • brush &
air brush.  I used the smudge tool to then blend the vapor trail together.

On the other two scenes, I used the poster-edge filter which resulted in a
comic-book-like appearence.

hope you all enjoy,
drc
