Tentacle Trixie (maybe not work safe!)
« on: 15 August 2008, 11:46:25 AM »
I took this photo of Trixie painted in seethorugh wetlook dress. The monster is an edible pickled octopus. Yum!

I now have a greasy fish smelling bit of terrain too.

Looks great. I was about to ask where that incredibly lifelike octopus came from, however after reading your post again....... I think I'll skip the smelly terrain step  lol
So many projects..... so little time.......

You forgot to say no animals were harmed during the taking of the photo. Nice. 8)

Well, except the DEAD OCTOPUS!!! I guess he didnt fell anything during the actual photo shoot, but one of his tentacles did come off....

Although that particular Hokusai print has a rather dubious legacy... :-X

That looks great! I may steal your idea for some game photos of my own! Also, that is a great paint job on the model...and a great model...so...great! :D

Thanks for the nice comments. The top tentacle is actually computered in, I also touched up her eyes digitally too. Ahh, digital photography is ace.

Boo! Cheat!  lol

Now you mention it, I can see a slight difference in that tentacle, but it's very well done.

Ha, cheating!? You cant cheat with images, it either looks good or it doesnt. I think digital is great because otherwise sometimes its just impossible to get the shot you want. I kept trying to hook the tentacles over the model, but the dead calimary rufused to cooperate! BRING IN ZE COMPUTERS!

Its and interesting point actually. I do quite often doctor photos. Usually its reducing glare, removing dirt specks that appear and messing with colour/contrast.
