Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

[cfusionpm]

Shot these of my friend the other day and did some editing of them. First one is the shot I wanted from the start: being shot through the scope of a sniper. I used an actual scope mounted on an airsoft rifle to get the shot; the only photoshop trickery comes from the crack and gun smoke. I wanted very much to capture the natural magnification and crosshairs as best I could. Next ones are movie-poster esque with different themes: hot/desert/jungle and cool/nighttime/rainy. Last one is just with some text thrown on top to look like a movie/video game poster.

She seems awfully dry in the rainy shots...

It was actually a total afterthought. The movie Cast Away happen to be on TV while I was editing and I remembered from the DVD extras that for the night scenes, they actually shot them in the day time and used post process filtering to make it look like night. I did that at first and it looked OK but seemed like it was still missing something. Grabbed some random rain texture off google and called it a day. I think it looks pretty good. You got any tips to make a dry person appear wet with photoshop?

The background (2, 3 & 4) seems a bit....plain, ordinary, boring for the type of shot you are going for.

I wish I could see her eyes. Nice concept though!

I like the first photo a lot, but I can't help but feel it would be better without the crack in the scope.
