step 1 of 11
Here I cut out the ring with the pen tool. It's not a great job but I can fix it in Post.
step 2 of 11
I hit CTL+J on a PC (Do I really have to tell MAC users what this means?) to make a copy of the ring layer. From there, I selected Edit from the menu and picked the Transform tool. Hold the shift key and pull a handle to resize and make it a little smaller. Reposition in the correct spot. Hit CTL+J to make a new one........Rinse and repeat as needed.
step 3 of 11
I found something that looked like a face in the source. I didn't want to use the dog just because I'm weird like that.
step 4 of 11
I was going to make each eye seperate by cloning and transforming but I didn't like the way the right eye looked so I copied the left eye on to a new layer and flipped it horizontally in the Edit menu and made it look like a right eye should.
step 5 of 11
Copied the middle section and began making some type of breathing apparatus using the same techinique as in SBS 2.
step 6 of 11
Began painting eyes in.
step 7 of 11
Bring in the Great Pyramids.
step 8 of 11
I used the elliptical tool and the shift key to draw a circle around the pyramid source. I selected the inverse of that and hit the delete key. I used the Sphereize filter under Filter/Distort/Sphereize set at 100%, repositioned, and reduced the opacity of the layer until it looked like a reflection, I hope.
step 9 of 11
I used the same Pyramid source to make Mother Earth below and some background mountains and stuff.
step 10 of 11
After making a couple more ships which I forgot to mention in the last SBS, I painted in a white trail which I ended up erasing most of, blurring and reducing opacity of the layer. I wanted it to be subtle but not too subtle. You know what I mean?
step 11 of 11
Touch Up. I think this would look really good if I had another 3 weeks to work on it. Cheers!
