I had a friend snap a few pictures of me while I was doing a few moves in this mask and decided to use them for a series of Photo Manipulations. In this work I wanted to get back to lighting effects as they work so well with this type of image. I also wanted to add various other elements to convey motion, such as the arrows and the lines. It was also vary different to be in front of the camera for a change, but an interesting experience, I think I will try being my own model more often as it has opened up some interesting possibilities.
As for the Jabbawockeez mask, it was actually left over from my Halloween costume I wore while clubbing this year, which was a hit. I have some other images that I will post when they are finished but I just couldnt wait to share this with you all. Im a huge fan of the Jabbawockeez and I really enjoyed working on this image.
Visual Effects This image required a series of layer for each of the individual effects as well as some intense masking, I would say there was anything in particular I had to do that I hadnt used in previous images before as far as technique, I think it was more of a matter of execution in which I think Ive improved quite a bit. In away this comes back full circle to Dark Leap one of my first images in this style. Ive mostly improved on the techniques I used for that image and combined them with everything else Ive learned since then.
Thanks I actually plan to use myself as a model more often, I have a project that I'm going to do for that called "Pen vs. Sword" I plan to do some individual manipulations of myself, first as an artist then as a swordsman/samurai and then a few where I am fighting myself artist vs warrior!
