OUT OF LIGHTWAVE INTO PHOTOSHOP
This is the base of the artwork once all the
render passes are merged with different kinds of fusion
modes. At this point I merged a real photograph of a
city that matches the luminosity of the bulb with the
Multiply mode and the Normal mode, creating a more
detailed version of the buildings.02
ON FIRE
I used two different sets of brushes, one
of smoke and the other of clouds. I positioned
the main smoke stream and deformed it with
the Transform tool to get the illusion of this sort
of atmosphere escaping from its container. I
used masks to re-create the lens effect and also
added a real photograph of sparkles and fire.03
FINISHING TOUCHES
I re-created more little pieces of broken
glass and dust. Then I created a 50% Gray layer in
the Overlay mode, and used the Dodge and Burn
tools to make desired areas pop out. I created a
merged layer on the top as well in the overlay
fusion mode. Then I applied the High Pass filter.HOW I MADE TECHNIQUES
