Kasper-V Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 How tedious! I keep getting ads on social media telling me the creative world runs on a certain photo editor. Ours runs on a different one.Saturn photo from NASA/Cassini, starry background and merged texture from magazine freebies, stately home window from my own photos and my (hand-tinted) baby brother (many years ago!) from my late father's photos; lots of masking, clipping, a bit of dodging & burning ...

Kasper-V Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 I painted a picture of a view of Saturn from one of its moons, seen through a Gothic ruin, back in the psychedelic psixties. I've been meaning to update it for years: and now i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AffinityJules Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 You've just got to love any photo of Saturn taken by Cassini - composite or not, and going by the top left I see you've made an affirmative statement about the software used to create it. 😀 Kasper-V 1 Quote Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.

Kasper-V Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Well, the left side looked empty: it needed some weight to balance the right side, but I didn't want to take attention away from the rest of the image. I made several over-elaborate attempts before I decided on keeping it simple and unobtrusive. John Rostron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda78 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Very nice paint, I like how you convine the idea of a kid seeing through the windows Saturn, it is a pretty cute way to express that the mankind is on his very beginning of a interstellar civilisation, just the beginning :) Kasper-V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
