Original Images
Bombed out Nuremberg post WWI & a red cuddly monster
Mask(s) made with iScissor.
  • Two mask depths, one for each layer of rubble. Monster mask had very tricky edge around the deeply shadowed feet.
  • Windows were tricky as the narrow spaces caused the wire to stick to the darker side.
  • Forground rubble arches, first floor, was mostly manual as the rubble didn't have stronger contrast then the background builing featu.res
  • Final Image.

    Created in 'The Gimp 2'

  • 3 layers/2 masks for city scene
  • Monster had one mask, then reposistion & horizontal flip for the far monster.
  • Monster layer noised, color level adjusted. The specular highlight mostly erased to give rougher look.
  • Exposed monster was quickly brushed darker to better suit the scene lighting.
  • Entire image colorized with hue shift into brown, high saturation, lightened to compenstate for brownshift but left slightly darker then original. Some extra texture in the road was exposed the color process which was better not washed out.
