AHHHHH! Oy! Alien Invasion! A Photoshop Tutorial…
Time again to talk about aliens! No, not the illegal kind. The green kind! What better way to kickoff the summer spirit than with explosions, death rays, and a little stormy weather – thanks to our friend, Photoshop.
Speaking of stormy weather – recently, in my hometown of Manchester, NH (Southside REPRESENT) , we experienced some major floodwaters. It was nuts – Hectic farm animals everywhere…I must have seen at least 45 cows engaged in what appeared to be a strange game of Twister in a nearby Swamp field. Anyway, being the moron that I am, I defied all weathermen state-wide (damn yooz!) and took a journey down to a nearby troubled river and snapped some crAzy pics.
The tutorial doesn’t look extremely realistic… too me. But then again I don’t believe in Aliens. And the final picture does look cool, even if unrealistic. But the techniques used here can be used for many other effects. The idea of using layers is especially important to get the effects right whether creating invading aliens or cleaning up the family photo so that every one is smiling.
