This is from a series of painting based on James Bond Films. This is a scene from Thunderball.
I used photo reference for Connery's head. A friend posed for the Spectre agent's head and hands. Photo ref for the sharks.
I worked in many layers to achieveve the right color balance, and experimented withe photo filters to adjust the colors universally.
For the luminance around the characters I used the burn/ dodge tool.
I took my time with this piece, working a little each night to get to this level of finish, which I ordinarliy am not accustomed to.
Would love to hear feedback regarding how effective the overall image is.

I completed this for an Orlando gallery show with the theme of "Change."

Persephone is a topic I've played with over the years. Her arrival symbolizes Spring, the cyclical changing of the seasons, rebirth, metamorphosis.

Photoshop, less "realistic" in it's rendering, it keeps some of the rough edges I have in a lot of my thumbnails.]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 03:08:22 +0000
