I have thought that for this constest any image could be turned into a grunge style. But I didn't think this should be enough, so I decided to actually create some sort of a creature, something original and then make it look totally grunge.
So....I reconstructed over the woman sculpture using selections from a wooden circlet and ball. I used warp tool to get the shapes I wanted.
I created the backround by adding a lot of grunge sources.
Added wings, shadows, some gradient adjustment layers and corrected some spots by using the clone stamp tool.

Lots of credits to:
- "CSnyder" on deviantart for some really cool grunge textures. Visit account at: http://csnyder.deviantart.com/;
- "Fetishfaerie" also on deviantart for some very good glass grunge packages, at: http://fetishfaerie-stock.deviantart.com/;
- "Markopolio" on deviantart for some great angel wings. At: http://markopolio-stock.deviantart.com/;
- "Night-fate stock" on deviantart for the best grunge image I've ever seen. Please visit author at: http://night-fate-stock.deviantart.com/.
- and last but not least, "Spiritsighs" on deviantart for a really good texture brush which I used to render the blood spots on the backround. Main account for other great brushes at: http://spiritsighs-stock.deviantart.com/.

There are two extra sources used, which, even if they are not too visible...I assure you that they are on the image:

1.. http://fetishfaerie-stock.deviantart.com/art/Frost-Pack-III-33357187 - Frost Texture

2. http://fetishfaerie-stock.deviantart.com/art/Frost-Pack-V-47098236 - Glass Grunge Texture

Hope you like it!
Enjoy! (2 years and 288 days ago)

I see the grunge style as being too dark and as an art style that expresses many oppressive feelings...Thought at many of these feelings and the one that made me reflect a lot was the danger of not loving yourself the way you are. In those kind of moments you try to find out how you can get out of yourself and become someone else..for me, this is a very grungey feeling...Well, Enjoy!

I got this idea whilst sleeping...on the last minute...!
And I was lucky enough to find an extraordinary picture of an owl on flickr.com. Credits to "Suneko" for an amazing photo and mood. You can check out author's account at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/suneko/.

Then I added more grunge looking textures on top, most of them having blending mode overlay.
Added the words brush thanks to "Spiritsighs" on deviantart.com. Please visit account at: http://spiritsighs-stock.deviantart.com/.
And also added a clouds brush and colored.

SBS upcoming tomorrow as I really really have to run to work now!
Hope you like the effect and the message!

Enjoy! (2 years and 287 days ago)
