What Would You Do (#83)

[peeperita]

thanks everyone for your kind remarks.....for me, making something that looks unreal is much easier than trying to make an image that's "undone"....

Opened in Picnic, edited the saturation and temperature, applied boost effect and decreased strength, and adjusted curves a little.

On different layers:
1. Foreground layer, only for the coloured snake
- Cut out mouth to open
- used Topaz Adjust to get the coloours(spice, psychadelic, spice), then Redfield Fractalius plugin

2. Background for the brickstones
- Used Topaz Simplify (BuzSim) , then grey filter to make it more faded, then applied texture

3. New layers for each snake - cut out original picture's snake and copied a sepia version as layer (five times, one for each snake) onto the picture, then applied different opacity to each of them)

Peeperita, this is absolutely wonderful!!! The colours of the background are beautiful - it never occurred to me to totally get rid of the background, great idea.

thanks, heidi....i like what you did with your foreground snake....mouth all open and the colors are great!

I combined picture of a girl from the previous assignment with the snake. Then changed the background to gradient. Moved objects a little bit, added them a little bit of layer shadow and finally converted both, girl and snake, to black and white.

And the result is here:



EDIT: My friend told me to lift a snake up so the eyes of the two are in one line. This is the result:



Which one is better? I like them both.
