Hello again, everyone. :-)

I found a picture of myself, and had an idea that I was pretty fond of, and I think that this work really captures what I had in mind from the start, so I'm pretty proud of it. :-)

Feedback? :popcorn:

Sexy!

:lolflag: Well, I do declare, I'm gettin' the vapors!

Anyway, thanks, guys.

I had a few senior pictures taken earlier this year, considering I was a senior in high school. Today was my last day of high school, so I decided to celebrate. :)

Anyway, it was pretty simple. I took the photo I had and made the background transparent, so all that was left was me. The next thing I did was open up a new project and load a random picture of a building I happened to have. I desaturated the colour, and filtered it so it would look like it was a sketched photo, and flipped it about the y-axis. Then I opened up a new layer and loaded up my photo. I scaled it to the correct scale size and placed it where I wanted. Then I applied the same filter to me that I did to the background photo.

After some motion blur was added to me, I rendered some orange fog, and burned the layers, making it half sepia, half black and white, and much darker than the original. It also added a very urban effect to the photo, I think.

Saved it, and loaded it here. :)

No you said it gets your feeling well. And what you were feeling looking down from the rooftop I would understand if I knew how many floors down were there =)
