Something for the weekend - Part 54 - Lifestyle

[davescm]

Hi

Looking at images in car brochures, they commonly sell a lifestyle rather than just a car. So I set myself a challenge to model such a scene in 3D and the result is below.*    I wonder though where our Photoshop users will now take this.

So for this weekend, take the image below and develop your own take around the car or lifestyle.

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

* Everything in the scene I modelled and rendered in Blender, apart from the sky and distant trees which are in an HDR spherical panorama, used both for lighting the scene and for the background. I downloaded that panorama from https://hdrihaven.com/hdris/  which offers free HDRIs under the creative commons license, so is a good source for those creating 3D scenes.

Enjoy your weekend.

Hi...I am a newbie using PSE. Hope this entry is acceptable...

[Nancy OShea]

Welcome Toe_Rag

I LOVE IT!

[Toe_Rag]

Thank you for the welcome and glad you like my submission.

[Trevor.Dennis]

Toe_Rag  If that is your original artwork, I'm impressed.  It's very good.  My only concern is how on earth would she get in and out of that low sports car, or get a leg over the motorcycle, with that ultra tight skirt on?  I'm  especially impressed by the luggage.  The perspective and shading are superb.  I do hope that you painted it, as it would great to have that sort of talent in these threads.

[Toe_Rag]

Thank you for your comments but please don’t be too impressed as I’m afraid that’s NOT my art work nor am I seeking to pretend that it is. 
Normally when I upload anything to a forum I also include credits to the images etc: that I use but I was somehow under the impression that nobody did that here!!!  If I am wrong, apologies, and I will certainly do so in future.

A bit of back history would perhaps be in order…I started out digital scrapbooking using a programme called Craft Artist by Serif and after a time moved on to PSE. I was still scrapping using kits that other designers had made.

The artwork I used here came from various kits I obtained via the DaisyTrail shop which I believe was part of the Serif company at the time.

Having discovered layer masks, clipping masks, textures and blend modes a new world opened up to me and  my scrapping turned more towards a mixture of scrapping and digital art, blending images as composits etc;  but I am still very much a beginner.

Hi

Rista  - I love the replacement background and the cactus.
Toe_Rag-  Welcome to SFTW. I love it. It fulfills the 'lifestyle' brief perfectly. I hope we will see more of you here in future weeks.

Congrats Trevor. I love the horse power.

Here's something I mocked to join this week.

[Trevor.Dennis]

Very cute Dean. Simple, but funny and effective.  It's the ideas that count with SFTW threads.

My OCD stepped in, and I had to try making a heart button.

Hi

Graham have you been playing with the action from Adobe Create Magazine? It was the scribbled look that gave it away
Trevor - a clever idea and well put together. When they announced that the Chinese had landed a craft on the far side of the moon the BBC played a simulation. I think someone should have told the person creating it that the earth would not be in the "sky" from that side of the moon.
Dean - excellent idea and it works well.

Joan, they could name that young lady after this famous Redwood tree.

Funny! That's it? She's got long legs. What about the tree - it's a Bottle Brush. What car is in the picture? All of the art is mine, some old stuff but its supposed to be fun and funny so you have my permission to mess with it if it gives you joy.  Best fun JH

Hi

Joan - Nice and stylish - I like it.

Jacob - Extra points for incorporating all those previous challenges !

The new challenge will be up in a few minutes

Dave,

I really tried to adapt to what was already there, in colour choices/desaturation, and in matching the incredible car by a suitable motorcycle; and adding a(nother) Adobe presence.

[davescm]

and very succesfully too Jacob

[Jacob Bugge]

Thank you for always being so kind, Dave, and for your being such an excellent and forgiving host in these threads, which I have really enjoyed being a part of since 34.

A gathering, and doors into the unknown.
