In today's series, the main focus was on creating the chaotic atmosphere with touch of a sci-fi. I was always a fan of sci-fi themes in my work, no matter I'm not, for comparison, a fan of sci-fi movies.
Material Collection
The first step I was willing to do, was finding a right chaotic thunderstorm as I decided my main focus is on creating a chaos as I've already mentioned. Anything with strong contrast, and saturated orange/pink/red color was good for me. It wasn't really hard to find the right one, because internet is full of thunderstorm photos. The only dilemma was picking 1 of 2 I've found on Pixabay.
- The first one was my favorite, and if we're looking at them separately, it still is. But in matter of overall composition, those thunders were stealing the focus. It was too pointed out in my opinion, so I picked the second one.
- One of the main elements were masked out from the photo. Firstly I've masked out the element, put it in my scene, did some color correction to match it with the skies behind and voilla. The work is going on!
- This one was a bit hard to decide, cause honestly, I didn't like any of the photos. It was pretty hard to find a shark in a position I wanted (to be pulled up by UFO) so I've picked the second one as it was more realistic than the first one.
Workflow
- Changing of the skies (maybe the most advanced technique and most time-consuming)
- Placing the UFO element in the composition + little bit of radial blur (to show the movement in the image)
- Creating the light beams with Custom Made Brush.
- Placing the shark element + tweaking color, opacity and size to fill the composition.
- The last part: Adding the comets into the scene to create the atmosphere even more chaotic.
Bonus
If you look closely to the beam getting out from the UFO, you can notice there are particles that reminiscent of rain. It was manually created by me with the custom brush I've made in separate Photoshop file. I've created a shape of a droplet then played with some attributes of Brush presets. Examples showed in photos below.
- If you know the technique, this is a really simple trick to do. Firstly I've painted 1 dot with regular hard brush, then with liquify filter I've made a shape of a droplet. Then in Edit-->Define Brush Preset I've played with the attributes of Shape Dynamics & Scattering mostly to get wished results. With a new brush, I've painted a way within the light beam coming from the UFO in some orange and yellow tone. It turned out really great!

Hi, good luck in the finals. i already voted for your collage,
every week I like to read your techniques and learn from them.
Have you thought about applying to @nftshowroom whitelist ?
good luck in the finals
Hey Eve thank you very much you're so generous :)
Would you be nice and explain this a bit more, I suppose I don't have enough info about it.

Woah thank you this will help me for sure, a lot of quality info right there!
I've checked your profile as well. One honest question, is it worth it? I mean, have you already made some Hive through this?
I never did any nft art, what is in trend, what can I do for it?
Yes, it is worth it.
I live in Venezuela, and what I make in Hive I have to take out for expenses.
It is a difficult and competitive world, the first thing is to make yourself known.

Thank you very much, I'll check it out when I get home. I have to explore it little bit more. Does all of the art have to be that glitchy and weird, or I can make some 3d and photoshop stuff in there?

NFT is a non-fungible token,
A unique piece, or unique pieces, in this case it would be a digital image that you sell.
In that market it would be rare art, I am just starting out and have sold a few pieces.
With NFTs, the art can be tokenized to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought and sold.

Hello @tonac Awesome collage for the contest. I love how the skyline is transformed to the dark and ominous blood sky. I immediately knew something unusual was about to take place before I saw the UFO and shark.
Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.
It was the original idea, glad you noticed it well.
Thank you for nice wishes @justclickindiva, wish you luck too 😊
I never knew that in the hive world whales are captured by ufos hahahhah well done
Good luck in the contest
Hahaha I'm not sure about the hive world, but in my world everything is possible 😂
Thank you dear!
Great stuff! I love a good photoshopping!
Totally agree Boom :)
Thank you very much mate.
Wow. This really blew my mind. Awesome photoshopping🙌🙌
Thank you dear, I'm glad you like my work :)
Very funny your collage, it is excellent that you focused on the idea of aliens stealing sharks to investigate them, your publication is very well explained and it shows your commitment to take your time to explain and share the sources of the images as well as the bonus in photoshop.
