Here are some pictures I took of him last week at Thanksgiving point:
After Sammy's comment on my previous post, I was curious to see what Spike would look like if I really did dye him black. So I manipulated a photo of him. It only took about 30 minutes. It has about 7 layers on it. Lots of dodging/burning, desaturating, erasing, painting, cutting, pasting, etc. I actually completely recolored Spike's eyes: they didn't look like a black dog's eyes. I got a little lazy towards the end if you can tell by his outline. I might go back and add more detail to his face later. If you click on the picture, I believe you can see the full view.
Doesn't look as real as I would've liked, but it works.
The photo manipulation looks great, especially the face! Do you use a filter on all your photos, or increase the saturation? Your photos always have such rich color and depth--they're beautiful. What kind of camera do you have?
ReplyDeleteNah, I haven't messed with any of the photos I have on blogger with the exception of cropping.
ReplyDeleteI use a Canon EOS 300D. It's quite outdated and I would like the 1000D, but it's far too expensive right now. :]
