The Rescue

Anna Shaw

The Rescue

I wanted to create a powerful and moody image, which told a dramatic story. In all my work, light plays an important part, and here it was essential for the drama inherent in the scene.

On 25/11/09 this work has received 739 views. 232 comments and 68 favourites.

I created this in Photoshop CS4 and it is a submission for a national photoshop contest.

To create the scene, I merged together 5 images of seas from my own stock, and several skies . The figures in the image were created using models from unrestricted stock in the public domain.They were first copied, then traced over and painted in Photoshop, painting from dark to light. Areas of the sea and sky were also painted in this way.

I have used two main textures which give a ‘painterly’ look, and the impression of age. Three colour fill layers were used to add depth and uniformity of colour to the image.

The cliff, on the left hand side, is the start image for the contest.

The image has been created totally in Photoshop, and all photos used (except the start image) were from my own photo stock.

I hope that you like it.

    This is amazing Anna. Thanks so much for explaining to us how you created it…. I’d love to be able to do this sort of work but I really have no idea where to start – just basic manips for me at this stage.
    Good luck with the cmnpetition :))

  • Anna Shaw replied

    Hi dear friend, thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Everything I did to create this is exactly the same princile you use in your amazing manips. Lots of use of layer masks and blending modes. This is such a large scene, that the mistakes do not show, whereas yours have to be spot on perfect as they are large close ups.
