Description
As you can see, todays pic is a composite of five. The main figures were actually in their clay state and the gallery that it was being sculpted at allowed me to photograph it.
The splashing water I thought was going to be a real challenge until I came across a waterfall pic I took this past summer. as you can see it came out pretty cool.
Some people have been asking how I do some of this , and what do I use. I use photoshopcs and more imortant to me, I use a Wacom tablet(small size). It's a pressure sensative drawing tool I use instead of a mouse. If I just had to use a mouse, I don't think I would be doing this. It would take too long and be very difficult.
Thanks for all the positive comments =)
Enjoy Today

Ray the job you do on skin colors is amazing. such realism not to forget the boss fotos****
Your attention to detail and seamless merging of images is amazing. I won't even begin to discuss the involved tsk of finding the right images to compile.Your work is an inspiration and i guess i need to look into this Wacom tablet (any size) thingy lol. My mouse needs a rest.
wOW five pictures how long does this take you to do?... i keep saying it over and over but you should make cards they would sell bigtime.. this is true artisrty at its best.. brilliant... i am your biggest fan!!! TWO THUMBS UP !!!
Excellent Job and a fine display of your art skills. Aloha
Great work on this as usual dear! But something's bothering me, the image isn't straight! I mean, the water, the background, is tilted! Or maybe I'm just having an optical illusion??? It's the first thing I noticed though! A 'lil straightening would be cool IMHO unless u did this on purpose?? Still a fantastic piece of work and I'm especially amazed at the main characters's reflection in the water and the splash around them! So very well done!
Turned out superb....and...yep...I use a Wheel Mouse...akin to a blunt Chisel...salute
OOOOOH!!! Now you really outdid yourself!!!! You even colored those indians!!! And what a great job you did on it no less. And even added those perfect reflections in the water!!! MAN YOU KEEP IMPRESSING ME!!!!!!!!!!! So you use a wacom huh? I bought one of those 2 years ago....have still not used it more than one time, LOL. I got so frustrated using it to access the menus and stuff. But i can imagine if you use a mouse for that, and the tablet for getting into details, it would really be an effective tool....hmmm...gotta give it another try i suppose. Bla bla bla....excellent work my friend. Keep it up! Have a great day #:O)
wow, just gorgeous
I have no clue how you do this. I see where they come from and still can't find out where the water comming out of the pitcher came from.
What a great job you did Ray! Totally gorgeous v :)
seems the hardest part would be getting the indoor colors & lighting of the figures matching the outdoors & you did that beautifully! even grabbing snippets of splashing water from the waterfall for here & there & then the reflections & the deer... all the little details!!!... i do have a small wacom but still feel more comfortable with a mouse but with the amount of work you're doing i can see the advantage of using the wacom more... the diagonal adds to the action.. making one feel the movement even more... you must be pretty organized to be able to gather your images together with what seems to be with ease ;] again, very well done & a pleasure to behold ray
Thanx 4 the explanation :) I use a trackball...and a "digital pen" is that the same as wacom? Anyway..bout the pic...hard work - fine result!
SEXY!
Wow!! That is a joy to behold! Just your work with coloring alone, is amazing! This is yet another fantastic composite piece! I agree with a previous comment, on a previous post, the sculptors would be delighted with how you have represented thier statues! Simply marvelous!
Oh my, what rich and detailed imagery! I could not do it better myself; in fact, I could not do it at all :-) Words of praise fall rather flat when faced with such excellence! Bravo!
OMG...this is a fantastic combo, such detail and dialog on how, excellent composition:):):):)
WOW Another masterpiece, im in awe !!! :o))
SWEEET! this one has allot of great energy. i especially like the overall slight dutch angle, i think it gives more dynamics to the piece.
Fantastic!!!V
Very beautiful collage!!!
You did a lot with this one, I had to look to find the deer, then there they were, hiding...like deer. beautifuly done, just love it! 8-)
~peeks up~ cringes uses the ol' "chain and... er ummm ball and wheel" too. Your work is outstanding! I love it...
gorgeous image. wonderful light and colours. an impressive photography collage. * bravo * #:O)
But! You made cinema my friend! You return your characters living! :0))))
this is so good work you do wowowwowoww
Another fabulous compilation!! :-) What a great scene you have created. I have a waacom tablet that I haven't used in some time either..hmm...maybe I should give it another go too. lol Excellent and VOTE :-)
Outstanding compo v
One of your best here, this is just too good! I love the sense of play. I use a mouse for my work...I really should dust off the Wacom and learn to use it. If I had to find a way to make this even more perfect, I would have to say that the deer seem like they should be just a bit darker. Otherwise, perfection!
