To keep it simple and without cluttering the forum with different topics for each project, I will post everything some of my work here.

 

Feel free to comment and give any feedback that would help me improve, as I feel I haven't even scratched the surface with Affinity Photo after about a month of using it. Cheers.

I really like them my favorite is the whiskey one. I love how you were able to achieve the feel as if the bottle was under the leaves. Great work

My favourite thing to do with any half decent photo editing program is to create composites. I luv 'em!

I like these - especially the guitar, not seen anything like that before, so in my mind it's original.

As for myself, I like to bring together images that, by themselves are quite ordinary, but once brought together possess a comic absurdity in a reality situation. That's what I aim for.

[BrokenT]

You nailed it!! Where do you source your images if you don't mind?

Thank you for sharing! I will check those sites out. Where can I go and support more of your work? On IG? Thank you for being so forthcoming with information.

[Bigby]

Don't mention it, ; )

Actually I've been posting all my work here. Maybe someday I'll share something on other platforms as well.

Playing with fire this time.

Whiskey is the bomb! Love it.

 

[Bigby]

Thank you. ; )

Firefox!

Nice creative work! A minor suggestion for the first composition. I personally would like to see the water cascading from the hole in the guitar as it seems a more 'natural' outlet source to me. Love the fox!,

[Bigby]

Now that you've mentioned it - that would be a great idea.

 

Thanks for kind words.

 

 

edit: I've seen some Nike/Adidas poster tutorials lately and decided to give it a try with my own, simple concept.

 

 

[Bigby]

New composition. I hope you like it.

 

(Moved to another thread)

[AffinityJules]

Yep. . .

I like it.

Come to think of it; you should post these pictures in their own thread rather than pile them all up, they might go unnoticed. Just a suggestion.

[Bigby]

Thanks. Yeah, I think you might be right...

Just some quick attempt at sky replacement and color grading. Also, a simple idea for a poster using watercolor brushes.

Nice work Bigby. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you @MEB

Here's another composition that I've just finished. This one involved a lot of coloration and balancing the tone of the background to match the model (at the beginning through curves adjustment on a desaturated layers). There's also a great deal of painting on a space suit and background to make it stand out. That's when different brushes and blending modes (such as glow or colour) came in handy.

 

The final result is exactly what I've had in my mind.

 

For reference - I've included an image that served as a basis of my comp.

Tell me what you think.

Testing new brushes and different styles.

Do I take it that you're a huge sports fan?

[Bigby]

Football mostly. Valencia CF fan.

 

I just think that sports theme gives a lot of creative freedom.
