Recently I've been praccying my photoshop skills. In another forum I read there was a recent photoshop theme of blending video-game characters in film posters.

I thought I'd combine Evil Dead and Resident Evil 4.

And here's the finished photoshop in wallpaper form:

Final product

What do you think? And do any of you guys do stuff like this. I find it quite fun and relaxing to mess around with images while listening to some mp3s...late at night

My photoshop skills end at re-sizing and adding text

this was made using the screenshots EA released

here's some older stuff with some more... subtle blending [but lots of it]

main source> http://maz.matrixhost.co.uk/desktop/Celestial.jpg

flipped added a few little images, wave effects, motion blur, aged effects... quite a few effects

havent done much recently but ive not had much inspiration.. although im working on my website and a forum skin for my re-encactment groups site. its been pushed aside by looking + getting work [i start on the 31st] and a load of other things.. like concerts, running, going out etc.


but yes its fun and relaxing solong as its being done for fun/without any pressure. i guess its like any hobby its fun until it becomes a job

malis its just practice, it takes some time but ive never had a lesson in using photoshop [untill college and i ended up working ahead of the class because the lecturer got annoyed with me being faster than him ]

1_Ru13, just a quick twist, [all i did was add a layer of blue behind the image, removed the blue from the original, and then created a gray layer on a duplicate and faded... looks much less stated now, but still has a nice blue.
