© All Rights ReservedI had first tried to create my own hot air balloon. I checked some tutorials, but ended up making mine “from scratch” because I had problems with the path tool. But I wasn’t quite satisfied with the end result.
After creating my “fishing” theme postcard, I decided to combine a cool looking basket with a different balloon top. (The original image barely showed the balloon.) This was mostly an exercise in erasing, and combining two large images, which I haven’t done before. I added the guide wires over the original ones, to extend them to connect to the new balloon. I also created the sky background for it. Then I added a flock of birds from a third picture (more erasing), because their flight pattern fit with her releasing the birds.
I don't know which part of your challenge entry I enjoyed more - your wonderful picture, or your description of how you created it. Fantastic work and great imagination! I am so impressed with your digital skills and your ingenuity. Take a bow!!
ReplyDeleteWow... both of your hot air balloon scenes are really great! Very creative pieces. Somehow this reminds me a little bit of Jules Verne.

ReplyDeleteThat fish shape is quite unusual; and the whole card looks like a really vintage post-card with your keyed-down colours...
ReplyDelete...and the second started with a basket? Now that's sure good thinkin'!
Very successful addition with that flock of birds in flight...quite whimsical!
The fish is the most unique, but my favorite is the second one...really lovely! ~Lori
