Photoshop Contest: Engines

PhotoshopPosted by Staaan

Just like in the previous photoshop contest, you are given a source photo to work with.

Your goal is to manipulate the photo in any way you want and turn it into a work of art. You can use Photoshop or any other digital image manipulation software.

This source photo is one of a plane engine. It was suggested by 'rturnbow' on Pxleyes almost 5 years ago:

source photo
— source photo —

You can find a high resolution version of the photo HERE

Be creative, and let's do some old school photo manipulations!

PS: It's very important to vote on every entry, the more votes we get, the more accurate the rankings will be. Also, when you see something on someone's entry that can be improved, let them know. That way, we can learn new skills from each other!

Good luck

ET Android created by Skyangel

Phone Home? Source files... https://imgur.com/ic0m2ob Mostly warping of original source file. I think you can tell what is what. The rest was done with brushes and various layer styles.

I really like your entry... very well done, even using the warping tool to work on the metal takes time... You did a good job, putting things together... the light and shadow works for me, and the adding of the galaxy, makes your work better.... thanks for submitting something like that.... good luck....

This post ignites my imagination....and will send me to you tube tutorials on warp tools. I am an ET fan from long ago so this one melted my heart. Awesome, thank you for your post.

Thank you Olga. ET was my inspiration even though the android looks nothing like him. The idea is there. You can have a lot of fun with the various warp tools but it's very time consuming because each piece needs to warped individually. You will love the youtube videos about it.

This is really nicely done! The structure is crisp and well arranged. The outside source was used perfectly. The lighting is nice as well. I see you reduced the brightness of the stars above your creation, but didn’t to the right. I imagine they were distracting from the Android. A thought would be to move those stars further to the top left. Nicely done author!
