Title: Twisted Tails 2 - Out of Time
Name: Deron Douglas
Country: Canada
Software:
This is an image I did for volume 1 of a 2 volume book. Not sure what I'll do for volume 2, it has to have a dragon and have something to do with time. The dragon is a poser character, the background and cars are 3D max and the flames and explosion are photoshop. The colors are very bright, and I had a comment from someone on one of my other images saying that the colors were too bright as well... I realize this. I need to use a more subdued pallet! I find however that bright colors, and the use of opposing primaries really help to draw attention to the image. I also seem to be in a personal "rut" where I'm using a lot of reds and yellows. Something else I'm not too happy with is the way the dragon "blends" with the background... it doesn't seem "integrated" to me? How is this generally done? All my images are composed of multiple layers of images created from various 3D software, then a lot of post-production work in photoshop. How do you get the main characters to be part of the background? I tried a motion trail, but this seemed to "cheezy" to me. Thanks for any help.
