First time playing around with composites.

This is obviously my first try, and a complete beginner as it relates to this. However I can immediately tell that this is something I want to delve in to. Feel free to critique or whatever....Yes thats me being possessed...hehe

Interesting. Not bad at all for a first go; your mask looks like it was pretty good. I can see a couple of tiny areas where things aren't quite perfect (hands, possibly below knee), but overall, pretty good.

I appreciate it tirediron. yeah It was good fun putting this together. The semi crappy quality of the photo overall, was an artistic decision I went for, considering the topic. I will certainly do this again, and I will spend considerately more time on the masking etc...

You should also consider to "paint" shadows under the body, this will enhance the effect

 

[StefaninLA]

I totally agree JustBen........Unfortunately I dont know how to do that yet

 

[StefaninLA]

Any lessons feel free to let me know

First, take a can of spray paint...

 

[JustBen]

Hm, are you using photoshop? You could try to use the clone-stamp in combination with the patch tool to copy parts of the shadows that are there already.

Found a tutorial as well: http://photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/cast_shadow/cast_shadow.htm
Haven't used that yet, so cannot tell you if it works, but doesn't look too complicated.

Will check that out. Thank you.
