London...
-
Been a while since my last one, so here's some recent work. This was a quick test piece for a client to demonstrate how a scene could look - so there are a lot of rough edges (don't look TOO closely!!
) Mainly a Photoshop job, but I decided to add an additional building on the right to balance up the composition, and stop the viewer's eye from drifting out of the image. This was done in Sketchup. Very crude model, with some semi-decent textures.Anyhow, here's the original plate:
And here's my re-worked version:
Thanks for looking,

Coen: first step: Using a layer mask in PS, I created a layer with just the buildings visible. Then on the original layer below, I painted out the buildings, by cloning areas from the original sky, and hand-painting where necessary. This gives you a layer of buildings, sat in front of an un-broken sky. This then means that as you hack away at the buildings, you reveal the sky behind. The building layer, in addition to all the damage which was a mixture of photo-reference and hand-painting, was 'dirtied-up' by adding a new layer in 'overlay' mode which was a mixture of black-and-white photos of rust, cracked concrete etc. This adds some random noise to the image (and helps to hide the joins between the original photo and the additions.
