Katie - Gothic'ish version

Published:

Description

I came across this awesome photo on an acquaintance's facebook page, and it really made me want to do a painting. So obviously in the end I did, and this is where I'm at so far. Having done a more 'classical' version, which you can see here, this is the current, more Gothic version.


Anyway, the image is composed of a photo which was rotated to square it up and the background removed.

New soft textured background painted in;

Her right arm (at left of frame, obviously) had to be painted in as it had been cropped;

Ridiculous puff sleeves painted, leaving the singlet top she was wearing in the pic almost entirely unchanged;

Even more ridiculous Collar painted in this version. Lace painted using a custom brush.

Necklace painted in; (re-painted somewhat for this version, as just changing the colour didn't seem to have the right effect)

Her skin and hair are a blend of the original photo + filtered versions (various blur and median effects etc) + layers of 'art history bush' and standard paint brush;

Colours/levels tweaked (and tweaked again in this version haha)

All done in Photoshop CS2
