Lecture
In week 2, I was given a task during my lecture to learn and create an artwork that has the technique of photo bashing. Photo Bashing is a style people use to create concept art and can be used as inspiration for the creation of games, films and other media.
Weekly challenge
When creating my photo bashing image I wanted to create something that physically doesn’t make sense. I looked for different setting images until I came across a desert-like area and decided to use this for my scene whilst completing my weekly challenge.
I found this image in a website called Unsplash. Unsplash is a website that provides free downloadable high quality images. I found a really cool desert image and started to edit the scene. I began with removing the sky and replacing it with an aroura borealis or more commonly known as the Northern Lights.
I wanted to also add a little mystery in my photo bashing and increased the hue-saturation of the aroura borealis. I then went on google in search for mountain ranges and found a great-looking one to add onto my finalised image.
After I found this Mountain range, I then mashed the background aroura borealis with the mountain range and the foreground of the desert together to create a scene. I then used a Match Colour tool to create a colour link for two different pictures and allows me to illuminate and Intensify an image.
I then looked for two different images to make the image more mysterious. One of the images I have found was a picture of the moon. I spent some time editing the moon to make it look broken similar to the anime Assassination classroom. The second picture is a grandfather clock and made it look like a ghost by using the blending tools. I was inspired by Stranger Things when making this image concept.
I have completed the photo bashing weekly challenge an have enjoyed doing this challenge. I have learned new thing for example, using the colour matching tool to perfectly match two differently coloured pictures.
