Firefly Cross-Product Creative Challenge #3: Fantasy Illustration

[AlanGilbertson]

This is the challenge where you get to play with all your favorite tools, and perhaps try out some you’ve never used before.

Imagine a forest populated by elves, mages, and magical creatures. Generate a character from your forest using Firefly, Photoshop, Adobe Express, or text-to-vector in Illustrator to begin. Expand the scene, adjust the lighting and colors, and add elements that help create an illustration for the ages. Save an image, screenshot, or video clip of your final artwork, post it as a reply to this post, and describe your process and which tools you used.

This example uses multiple generated images composited in Photoshop, adjusted with the Camera Raw filter, and fleshed out with Generative Expand and Generative Fill.

There are no prizes other than the joy of creating and the experience gained in making different tools work together to a final creative product. What can you create?

The land of coloring in... Started with Firefly castle, got some flying sketchbooks from Firefly and then swapped the towers to pencil points!

Reflections are dope

[AlanGilbertson]

That's a wonderfully creative idea about a creative idea! And it has flying books! You can't go wrong with flying books.

All that's missing is a rainbow above it all with the words Reading rainbow and Lavar's face on the cover. 🙂

Great composite! Love the idea of the PenCastle

Nice start. Where's the rest?

[Ashraful_Islam]

The details are amazing ♥

I'm sorry for the wierd question but how many nostrils does she have?

[Ashraful_Islam]

Created multiple images on Firefly and expanded and finished the final touches in Photoshop.

[AlanGilbertson]

That's a great epic movie look, nicely balanced. The movie director's going to be a little peeved about the con trail, maybe; or is that an alien spacecraft? 😉

[Ashraful_Islam]

It's a sign coming straight from heaven.

Lord of the rings vibes right?

[fbeaume]

Awesome! I can hear the epic music and feel the earth shake beneath my feet!

 A hint of FF, with a generous dollop of Express and a light sprinkling of Me.

Good one, Mo! You know you're looking at a real hero when they ignore the stairs! 

Now I want to see the famous battle scene from The Legend of Koos (the one starring Jan van der Merwe), where the hero slays the rock spider with nothing but a javelin and his bare hands. 😹

Thnx @AlanGilbertson.

Real heroes don't do stairs esp if they are van der Merwes my bru.

Tx for the challenge.

what an amazing journey 😄

 

[AlanGilbertson]

Good start. Where's the rest? The challenge is to build a scene using more than one app.

Some of my favourite space fantasies.
Multiple generations, perspective shifts, colour and lighting adjustments, lens flare 😉

 

[AlanGilbertson]

Aye, lad. I love the post-neolithic skyscrapers! It's not often you see Daleks and Klingons in the same frame, not to mention the vaguely Sontaran flying saucer pilot. I'm guessing the warbird captain spotted the Doctor's police box and decided to find somewhere safer for shore leave.

Jupiter 2 - Danger, Danger Will Robinson!!

Lens flare. I've not used that in a while @EuanWilliamson . Guess I should shake off the cobwebs!
