Manipulating Landscapes

WAVE HELLO TO OUTER SPACE
I opened this image in PS
I altered the hue and saturation
Using the brush tool, I began painting, lifting galaxy effects into view. I focused on the naturalreflective light to the right. Adding in stars and highlights.
The idea of using a moon cylce seemed fitting. I added some text to pull a sense of design into the composition.

 

MOON CHILD

I wanted to push my exploration on PS so I selected a series of photos to do so. To expand on style and abilities, I combined a range of techniques and tools. Read the above images for exact steps on progression. I was very pleased with this piece, it took 2 hours at the most and it has proven to me that Photoshop provides a platform where the only limit is your imagination.

 

FROM OUTER SPACE TO MOUNTAINOUS LANDS
I opened this in Photoshop
Atered the hue and saturation
Using the selection tool, I cut out areas shaped like mountains, I took these mostely from the white crashing waves, taking advantage of the icy blue textures.
Once I had a puzzle in place, I used the brush and cloning tools to complete the scene.

 

DREAM LAND ON ICE

Mountain
After taking my waves to outer-space, I felt it was time to return to earth. I perused the idea of a mountainous landscape, adding stars and clouds for a soft, icy enchanted land. Read the captions for step by step progression.

Portrait Photography

Photoshop – photo manipulation

This was a unique commission, as I’m use to flexing fine arts and design, however here I was asked to expand and develop the below photograph for a funeral portrait. This was a deeply important commission as this piece commemorates and celebrates the man in the photo, Robert Dixon. I am extremely honoured to have been commission here and thank my client for selecting me.

“I came to Faye with an image in mind and she far passed my expectations. She provided a friendly and professional service, and came back to me with the finished result after just 2 days. I cannot recommend Faye highly enough” – Charlotte Dixon

The Metahumans

character portraits - edit 1

The Metahumans is an upcoming comic book written by Mark Storey 2019. The narrative follows a dystopian future in which a determined scientist experiments on 12 human subjects. I have been commissioned to work on all visual aspects of The Metahumans. Developing each character, costume evolution and setting. The finalisation of these elements will lead to a collaborative production of official issues over upcoming years.

 

THE STORY

THE WORLD OF THE METAHUMANS

 

The year is 2050, the world has made leaps in terms of technology and science but steps back in humanity. ‘Situations’ as politicians would describe them are a regular occurrence. Civil rights are on the rise again due to the ever-growing discourse between people. Hope for everyday man is fleeting. The streets are dark, damp and lonely. Man must persevere before all hope is lost. Dr. Novac knows how bad it is and sees the Metahumans as a symbol of hope and protection that no matter your background you will be able to support

BRIEF OVERVIEW

Dr. Novac who works for Captech has been working on serums to help defeat mankind’s greatest weaknesses. After countless setbacks, he finally is approved to make and test them. Making his journey to Titan all those years ago suddenly all make sense.
The ‘heroes’ are most unlikely with Novac targeting specific people who he believes can control and will not be overwhelmed by their new abilities. The likes of orphans, prisoners and the tormented are usually his first point of call. These twelve people will never be the same.
