My Visualisation [Entry]

![Finale.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcNZuCxWZRFSJDNxMrDmF4L55DJixKRkE29jvcTqiHe6a/Finale.jpg) *Digital artwork I've made in Adobe Photoshop 2020. @shaka - the host of [LMAC](https://hive.blog/hive-174695/@shaka/lets-make-a-collage-a-contest-for-all-creatives-on-hive-round-75-123-hive-in-the-prize-pool) provided us a forest photo. As soon as I saw the photo, my imagination decided it will be a war between some big creature and people throwing spears. While working on the idea I tried to make the ideal "storyboard" at the first place. The more the idea was worked out, the more it tend to be **dinosaur vs. fireballs** and I liked that scene much more than warriors throwing spears.* ![Prijelaz-novi.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV6u7YEYLVXtfbucdoQGG7fAskuwuTXKbzUBD8rGE5NUf/Prijelaz-novi.png)

It's time for something new, and this time it was about playing with space and perception.* ![Prijelaz-novi.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV6u7YEYLVXtfbucdoQGG7fAskuwuTXKbzUBD8rGE5NUf/Prijelaz-novi.png)

Collecting the Elements (Royalty Free Photos)

Firstly, I had to find dinosaur, I mean... I didn't had to, I wanted to, but the tricky thing was to find it in right stance, that will fit my perception. Honestly, it wasn't easy, but I found a photo which I flipped later in Photoshop and it turned out to be really good. Rarely happens, I won't complain! Second this was to find a good catapult photo, which wasn't easy either. Catapults are weapon used in ancient times and it's not easy to find it on modern websites. Actually I found decent photo, tweaked it a bit in Photoshop and voila, got my second most important element! Fire and fireballs I wanted to make were other tactics. I made them separately in Photoshop as well. Downloaded Fire photo, put it in **Screen Mode** which removes blacks from photo so only fire remains. Made **fireball** from crack texture - and it ended up pretty well too! I'm going to show you downloaded photos, their sources, and workflow of fireball right below. ![catapult-784534_1920.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmT4Xa6XpSAQHhMeafcy2ZJcueGShi7C41TyDzKsbAjAdh/catapult-784534_1920.jpg) [Source Catapult (Pixabay)](https://pixabay.com/photos/catapult-sea-blue-sky-784534/) ![fantasy-4548826_1920.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRGU4EEgxXrFCsCGQEpusJvyhsfTH3ctpJfmZJFdhPyY4/fantasy-4548826_1920.jpg) [Source-T-Rex(Pixabay)](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/fantasy-city-past-present-dinosaur-4548826/) ![Prijelaz-novi.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV6u7YEYLVXtfbucdoQGG7fAskuwuTXKbzUBD8rGE5NUf/Prijelaz-novi.png)

Design Workflow of Fireball

![Priprema.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPKt5NwJWMQDFGkdXrrpVv6wuX7SGbMAczUeKTUohsFvP/Priprema.jpg) ![Fireball.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWY2vPr8RPth1NTm3XCspvYe8vQCgx6PNsiXFgf6YJD5k/Fireball.jpg) ![fball.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYa5NbzxFppvXiYFHgDUX6k3iRUzJ9jVTwuE5LiZdZCCf/fball.jpg) **Let me explain the workflow in order:** - Downloaded a crack texture photo in high resolution --> [Souce](https://nemanjasekulic.com/fire-effect-in-photoshop/) I've learnt that technique from Nemanja Sekulić, a great Photoshop Teacher. - With built-in Adjustment Layer called **"Gradient Map"** I've made that lava look. Colors: Black-Red-Yellow (as visible on second photo) - Photoshop 2020 has a great option that wasn't available in previous versions and it's called 3D. I've made "New Mesh from Layer" with built-in preset "Sphere". Now when I have all the elements ready, it's turn for little bit of **PHOTOSHOP MAGIC** :) ![Screen Shot 2021-04-02 at 13.04.05.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYXaaqYhvqufGBeQ7JerAz3u9vSsRmUPN96h4wjWrJJ9i/Screen%20Shot%202021-04-02%20at%2013.04.05.png) - I've made a screenshot if anyone's interested in making 3D layers inside Photoshop. Really tricky and attractive option, I should play with it a bit more as it's very cool for making planets and many more various things. **Open the photo in new tab for better resolution, so you can observe details** ![Fire 01.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdrYHtCrCS5ryjTTz6Q78HYG7RLJKkmZxBcACaYdVhWRH/Fire%2001.jpg) ![Fire 02.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXc9vcR1pKVD7xTUfra39n5GHpDHebYVd96v1YuJSap8Q/Fire%2002.jpg) - The last details I needed for my composition is Fire photo. Source is the same as I mentioned above, it's a zip of free materials from mister Nemanja. ![Prijelaz-novi.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV6u7YEYLVXtfbucdoQGG7fAskuwuTXKbzUBD8rGE5NUf/Prijelaz-novi.png)

Take a Look of the Finish Now When it's All Explained

![Finale.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcNZuCxWZRFSJDNxMrDmF4L55DJixKRkE29jvcTqiHe6a/Finale.jpg) For the end, a little color correction always comes in handy to make the details stand out. Actually, **in every project** the last fine step is CC - that's kind of my author's watermark to the work. I like *Highlights* more pronounced with Blacks & Shadows a little more withdrawn. That combination gives a nice **contrast** I really like. ![Prijelaz-novi.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV6u7YEYLVXtfbucdoQGG7fAskuwuTXKbzUBD8rGE5NUf/Prijelaz-novi.png) ***Whole design and Photo Manipulation was done in Adobe Photoshop 2020.*** ![Prijelaz-novi.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV6u7YEYLVXtfbucdoQGG7fAskuwuTXKbzUBD8rGE5NUf/Prijelaz-novi.png) - ***Also, check out [My Story About First Ever 1 Cent Upvote --> First Power Up!
