Description
Minae Inferi is translated as "Threat from Those Below" or "Threat of the Dead"--------------
Photoshop CS2 - Airbrushing & Photmanipulation - 30hrs
I will be revisiting the piece in the future to improve the lil guy on the left and do some extra detailing.
It was made from a crash test dummies photo. If anybody wants a larger version of this please send me a note.
Comments appreciated!
Enjoy!
Trevor Costello

WOW Trev, this was definitely worth all those hours of work, it looks spectacular The larger one is especially brilliant I think, his face and expression is really creepy, he really looks um....well...dead
I also like the fact that some parts look like fresh blood, and others look like old dried blood....eeewww, very scary. My fave bit is the hand on the right, that REALLY looks like a dead persons hand.
I think you've done a brilliant job, and it's DEFINITELY a I love it heehee

Thanks so much! It was quite the challenge to get right... (I'm still not happy with the lil guy on the left to be honest) That's why I made that second version showing where I put in the most work. I'm glad you liked it!

The texturing and shading work is very high quality. If you'd claimed it was a 3D render, or you'd painted the texture onto the original dummies and took a photo, I'd have no reason to disbelieve you!

It's a lil creepy even for me, but the quality is outstanding! (Which is probably why it creeps me out so much ) Great job!

Thanks so much ... I just had to let out some of the stress and tension I've been under these last few months hehehe... Probably shows in the morbidness of it.
I'm glad you seen through the creepy stuff to see the work I had put into it!

I understand completely. And I hope I didn't offend with the creepiness thing, I'm just really sensitive and sheltered

No offense taken I understand that it's not everybody's favorite genre. I'm just very glad that you still took the time to comment & compliment the quality!
I really appreciate that!

Thank you I put so much effort into this one... hehe I am taking a break from photoshop for a bit and getting back into fractals lol... I couldn't sleep at night and just kept plugging away at this every spare second I could hehehe!

MooseCall In reply to CryptFiend [2006-02-03 17:57:05 +0000 UTC]
hehe you can tell that a LOT of time went into it. I do that too. Moderation is a good thing. Play with one, go back to another. Its all good. Your still creating and releasing that energy.
Its what matters.

Did you get crazy-glued to your Old Sparky? If I had not seen the original(s) I might have thought, corroded metal? Alien living in the child figure, diguised as a digestive tract? A masterpiece.

CryptFiend In reply to Etherealopolis [2006-02-03 03:21:26 +0000 UTC]
Yep! 2 and a half days, and 30 hours of work... sounds like glued to me hahaha... It took hours to find the right stock, and I had put a lot of symbolistic stuff in this one, it's nice to see interpretations like this! Thanks so much!

I thought I was a PC nut and all...Old Sparky taling to me...me talking back...getting up at 2 AM to pee and having an idea while in transit and sitting down "for just a couple of minutes"
Later that same year....
