Dream On, Dreamer

It´s been over a year since the last time I´ve created a photo manipulation. It´s not that I didn´t want to I just felt like I have nothing to tell, or better say nothing to show. I knew I had all these images in my head but any time I tried to catch them and bring them on canvas I ended with absolutelly no idea or inspiration. And the harder I tried the less inspiration I got. It was pretty frustrating.

But couple weeks back something has changed. Like if I´ve tapped on a source of inspiration in my head, I finally opened the glass door which kept me away from creating for such a long time. And there they were - all the dreams I forgot after waking up, images of cities in clouds, stars forming the most bizzare objects, colors, shapes. It was all back. 

When I was a child I dreamed about living in clouds where everything is as soft as cotton candy, where you can jump from one cloud to another, fall on them, fly arround while wind is playing with your hair and sun is creating little freckles on your cheecks.

I often visit that places in my dreams. And this image is recreation of one of my recurring visits.

Fantasy Photo Manipulation: Hidden Valley

After almost one year long pause when I barely create some photo manipulation, during the last two weeks I´ve created not one but two manips! Both are landscapes. First one has a scifi theme and here is the second one. This time with fantasy theme.

Everything That Was Before

Yesterday I couldn´t sleep. So many ideas flew in my head. So instead of being boring I sat in front of the computer and created this photo manipulation.

It originally started as completely different idea. Only the sky remain same as in the original concpet :) I experimented with few new techniques and had lot of fun. Most of the time creating photo manipulations is bit frustrating for me because I have very limited spatial imagination. But I really enjoyed it this time.

On the following photo you can compare how the photo manipulation looks after simple blending images and after adding lights and colors.

It´s quite easy to create it to be honest with you. I´m working on the tutorial right now. It should be online in couple of weeks :)

Do you have any ideas on topics you would like to read about in the future?
