PIC: Taking the plunge - mild nudity, slash

Aug 15, 2006 15:55

This is another image made from one of my screen captures - this time from “A Walk On The Moon.” I loved the combination of beauty, sensuality, sexiness and sheer fun in this particular scene, and tried to capture the same mood with Orli instead of the woman.

The title has several layers - the waterfall is a plunge, the lovers have leapt off the high rocks to get to this secluded place, they have immersed themselves in water … and they have taken the plunge into a new and powerful love that could sweep them under or even drown them.

I’ve included a small version of the base pictures to let you get an idea of my starting point. I needed to alter the lighting on Orli’s face as well as the colour. I’ve painted in new hair to make the hair hang free rather than tied back, to darken it so it seems wet and blends in with the hair on the shoulder. I’ve also added droplets of various types to Orli’s face, and given it some movement as well. The head is in a different position, so I’ve moved the arm, shoulder and collarbone to match the new neck position. Last but definitely not least I’ve made the hands and wrists more masculine - thicker wrists and fingers; a more square shape to the hand; square and blunter nails; and more prominent knuckles and wrist bones.

Thanks muchly to the ladies at Thalassa’s Manipulations for their invaluable help on this.
