Photoshop Shenanigans - Angel Or Demon?

The final part of the Light Vs Dark concept was to bring the separate images together. The combining of the images was a quick, and perhaps slightly sloppy 10 minute merge, although this was also the first time I had merged images in this way, so lesson learned for future attempts.

It is fun to note that both individuals were made from the same image of the man, simply flipped horizontally for the Angel version..

Photoshop Shenanigans - Angel

The second image in my concept of light vs dark, this composite is comprised of 4 images which were manipulated over the course of 2 hours.

On a side note, I found that compared to the interesting elements I was able to add to the Demon image, there were not a large amount of "Angelic" traits which I could add to the image, eventually compromising with a "We need more light Captain!" type of ideal with additional highlighting and a lens flare.

Photoshop Shenanigans - Demon

My first attempt at intensive editing of a human figure, this image is the first in an interesting conceptual idea of light vs dark. A composite made up of 6 images, this particular figure saw multiple iterations over the course of 3 hours.

Photoshop Shenanigans - Impact

A 4 image Photoshop Composite which took roughly 3 hours to complete. It would have only taken 2 had progress not been slowed by numerous computer problems such as lost content towards the latter end of the ordeal.

In hindsight, my blurring of the various objects in the image would have had a better general impact had I used the same method to blur the fist and table surface as well.

Photoshop Shenanigans - Shattered World

A rather simplistic composite which was mainly based on the heavy editing of only 2 source images over the course of roughly 2 hours.

Being my first attempt at Photoshop editing in well over 6 months, the effects are somewhat lacking due to my rustiness.
