Description


My brother passed away in early December. He was hit by a car near our house coming home from his walk after Thanksgiving Dinner. He was in the hospital for 8 days before he let go. The hardest part is, surprisingly, not losing my baby brother, but in having to explain where Stanley went to Faith, my 3 year old daughter. He lived with us and helped me take care of her when my husband was at work and I had my hands full. He loved that little girl. Sometime in the last month I got this idea, listening to her talking to him at night, and I've done this picture. I couldn't get poser to do what I wanted, nor could I get the models to do him justice. So, I made this. For those who want the specs: I took an old photograph of him and cut it into one I took of her sleeping, and made him wings from the free ones in the Renderosity Free stuff. I don't remember which ones. it took me several hours, what with my daughter constantly coming in to look at 'uncle and me'. This is a very personal picture, so be gentle, but if you can think of a way I can fix the aura effect, I'd appreciate it. I still have the raw pics still in layers, so its workable. I had it right where I wanted it and then... well, lets call it a glitch and I had to start over. Like I'm going to have to do a lot of things now that he's gone....

Thank you, for both your comments and condolences. I know it is intimidating to even think about critiquing such a personal image, but... I would appreciate any tips on how to intensify my intent. I had it, just how I wanted it, and lost it. Starting over it never got quite... you know, and I'm not a photoshop adept.

i'm really sorry to hear about your brother, it must have cost you a lot. since you asked for critique, even though i hate to make it, you could make the angell image more transluscent, to give it a more, faded look. it's really nice though, very special

Don't know what to say, there's nothing one can say that can be adequate to such a loss. I only wanted you to know I was here.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss! I think this image is very emotional, and touching, as is the story behind it! As for critiqueing...I don't use photoshop, I use PSP. However, I do believe the photoshop also has a softening brush. On the outer edges, where you have his image smudged just a bit, I would soften it. I agree with the idea of making him a bit more translucent, however at the same time, you want to see him clearly. So I guess all in all, its what pleases you, and appeals to you. Its a wonderful image and dedication as it is!
