In Your Place by Sephirothslave In Your Place by Sephirothslave
So, I'm finally branching into photoshop! It took me long enough, right? I put this together on a friend's computer, since I don't have the program or a computer that will run it. Familiar, right...same story with me always: Ancient computer, broken scanner...technology really does flee from me. Nevertheless, I was pleased enough with this to toss it up here, in keeping with my determination to manage this site just a bit better than I usually do.

Disclaimers: Sephiroth is the property of Square-Enix, and not me.

Art and Likeness: Is mine. If my work continues to be used without my permission, someday, someone will be sued. Please contact me before using this in *any* way, including reposting. Thank you.

You fail at this, you fail at life, you are NOT married to an angel, nor are you anywhere near sane. Become an hero if you would.

You do know that, if Seph existed, he would gut you and not give you a second thought, right?

I have a question, how can you sue someone for posting this when you have a character that belongs to Square-Enix in the background?

Not bad. The cropping done is quite good. Did you use a green screen or just cut away a background? Either way it's good, but if you did it with a backdrop it's really impressive.

However, the lighting needs a lot of work.

The hardest part is that the lighting on your photo doesn't match the picture in the background (something to always keep an eye out for) Specifically, you're lighting is far camera left, where as Sephiroth's lighting is coming from camera center-left (i.e. the light on you is clearly coming from the side, but the light on Sephiroth is coming more from the front. Obviously not much you can do about that at this point, but there are ways to make it less obvious, which are the next to parts I'd like to point out.

Probably the most glaring problem, but also the easiest to fix is the intensity. You are much brighter than Sephiroth. Your lights are much lighter, your darks are a little darker. I would recommend dropping the brightness on your entire picture, and then touch it up with the burn tool, or by micro-adjustments. Dropping the saturation would probably also help, although you have to be careful not to go too far with that.

Finally, unless I'm looking at the picture wrong, it appears that you are casting a shadow on Sephiroth's neck and hair. But tracing the light sources from either you or Sephiroth, that shouldn't be there. The light goes between you and Sephiroth, so neither of you should cast a shadow on the other.

There's a lot of small details I could point out, but those are the major ones, I think you should focus on if you're going to continue your photoshop skills. All in all, a decent looking picture, although it lacks a focus to me.

Thank you! You know, my makeup is a hit-or-miss every day. I do it myself, and it's never the same twice. XD Same color scheme, but, I'm just not OCD enough to make it exactly the same each day. Nevertheless, thank you for the compliment!

I've always been jealous of anyone who knows Photoshop or can do any amount of photo manipulation. Call it what you want, I say sorcery! lol. The most I do usually is just use Photoscape to manipulate photo sizes to edit them for some company websites. But honestly, I use that one because it was the only thing free ;)

I hear you. I'm getting better at manipulating photographs...but I've watched my cousin color things entirely on photoshop. O.O;; It blew my mind when she started using purple in a beige skin tone. One day, I swear I will be handy enough with this tool to put it to good use!
