Well, when you get to sit on your arse for three hours, you tend to find somehting to do. I recently purchased some very nice textures from Jesh de Rox. He has a few websites and the one I used is named Fine Art Textures
Anyhoooo…..since I didn’t have a wide variety of images on my computer [I normally keep them on a RAID backups], I used what I had. Not sure if I like them but there’s not much inspiration in an airport cafe.
A group of Belgian Groenendael, very alert and inquisitive. Background textures included some broken concrete and an image of melting ice. Added some old time coloration to the image as well.
Here, I kept the coloration about what I would use for a print – maybe took the saturation down a hair. Added a nice fabric texture and masked around it. The texture is so strong that I had to drop the opacity and really mask out quite a bit. I almost think I left too much in it and overdid it a bit.
This is an image I recently took. I must have left it on my harddrive for some reason. Again, did a bit with the coloration, added a sand texture and a concrete texture. Masked to taste. This one is a bit burned out but again, all in the name of experimenting
