Backgrounds

3000 pixels x 3000 pixels

This was the first scene I attempted as a sort of warm up. As you can see...well...it's rubbish, but I had no idea how to even start something like this, my starting point was colour picking from a similar landscape but this went out the window. However some elements I like such as the scale and composition but the picture itself looks far too child-like, especially for Manifest.

This is the Climax 'Absorbtion' scene, I first drew a basic outline and then painted in the various sections. I did this in colour right away even before I knew about Highlights, Shadows and Midtones and found out a better technique (Painting in shades of black then adding colour with opacity). However I think this works well in black and white as an 'eye of the storm' moment, a frozen highlighted moment in time.


These are all early versions of my scenes, they were all done when I was very new to photoshop so I kept on updating them as best i could over time.
