AoE vs TLK

The AoE copy includes a minor paint apps and Reprolabels while the TLK copy underwent significant additional paint apps to make him more screen accurate.



I might try dropping this image onto the promotional pic using Photoshop when I get a chance:

There's a lot of great detail on here similar to the on screen model that had to be highlighted.

That's stunning, what did use for paint? pens or brush, surely that wasn't sprayed.

My first attempt at green screen and Photoshop. Not perfect, still have a lot to learn and practice.

amazing stuff how did you do the eyes? I am trying to do something similar but it looks rubbish lol

I took a crappy photo a while ago and tried to get something out of it. I think a green background would have been a lot better than white which is all I had at the time, as Ramjet gets lost in it and it was hard to make the overall picture look better without screwing him over too much.

Thank you, it's all done with brush. A very, very fine brush. The hardest part is keeping the hand steady.

BTW currently working on Studio Series BB, applying rust and weathering effects. It's coming along well so far, pics when it's completed.

Cheers, I looked up a tutorial on Youtube based on adding glow to Iron Man eyes and applied it to this guy. I'm not that great on Photoshop so I wasn't able to make it as bright a blue as I wanted, but for what it was, it's not too bad.

I had to add a couple of layers, one for each eye from memory and trace out the shapes then add the glow effects. I think I merged the layers before applying the glow effect.

If I had to recreate something similar I'd have to go back to the tutorials because there were a lot of steps involved and I only recall a fraction of them LOL.

I'd recommend looking at some greenscreen tutorials on how to remove the green tinge and effectively place your picture convincingly into the background.

Your pic of the flyers turned out pretty well still, I thought.
