PS model on my car C&C

does it look to fake? Was just having a little fun with photoshop tonight

 

at first glance pretty good but the longer and longer I look the leg that is touching the ground starts to look bad! the rest is pretty good!

 

ya thats one thing I couldn't get right

 

I moved the leg off the concrete I think it looks better that way

 

The model looks like distorted & dwarf

 

The leg needs a shadow.

 

Yes, this would indeed add to the dimension of realism

 

:thumbup:

 

any tips on doing shadows?

 

Duplicate the model image then make it black & adjust or blend it until you get the right color of the shadow… then distort it or warp it to the ground until you get the right angle of the shadow.

 

The foot just needs a little contact shadow. I made this with a hue/sat adjustment layer.
A whole-body shadow wouldn't be consistent with the shadow cast by the car.

 

pretty cheesy pose if you ask me.
