Prisoners

Postby bewarethebeastman » Jun Tue 02, 2020 4:25 pm

Using a BTS photo and a screengrab, so quality is a little different between the 2 characters, so have to work on them a bit (this is the part im not very good at lol). Also took a screengrab from the trailer that shows the maze and will use it as a background.


Positioning and resizing the 3 elements and sharpening and lighten some. Added a gritty dust texture layer


Added a gradient map across the whole photo and copied the dust to the back cover. Lightened a few areas. Added another screengrab of the maze for the back. And used another screengrab from the trailer to put underneath hugh jackman. I tried a few things but a darker picture with high contrast areas seemed to work best set to "color dodge". Maybe I'll edit some of the dust to make it a little more subtle. We'll see  :D

Thanks all, think I got it.

Dont know if its that visible but tried to clean up the front a little, added a slight grain to Jake's face and erased some of the dust from their faces and added a slight light to Hugh's left eye since it was disappearing a bit too much.
