Description
Very classic, I'm sure you've all seen this kind of design, but I had to try it. Some parts went really easily and took no time to do, some others took me hours to decide where to put them... damn phoenix.....Tools: Photoshop CS4
Time: 8h
Original format 1920 x 1200 px. Click download to get it
.I should make a full pack with this one, with all diferents screen sizes.

love the composition, flow and the contrast using white squares against all these soft lines

Astounding! How did you do the smoke-breath things on the arms? I'm still perfecting the basics in ps, just wanna cover all the bases

I like the work, and the idea, it looks nice by clicking it and zooming in
but it looks terrible at original size (2880x1800) :S not worth of a wallpaper I think

I completely agree. This is kinda an oooold work and I was exploring new things in photoshop more than making something finalised. So yes it is very pixelised and cluterred

Wow. This looks great! A wallpaper worthy of song and praise!
I gotta learn how to pull off things like this.

Oh gosh, this makes me want a t-shirt with that print on it! I love how the designs complement and enhance the gorgeous photo, but also that "painterly" look and lighting that the phoenix seems to "cast" onto the subject! The warm and cool lighting with the gray bg complement each other beautifully.

Is CS4 very different than CS3. I had a friend tell me that the menus are all in different places.

How did you recolour the figure? I'm trying a similar effect and its taking a lot of time...

hey man sorry I'm replying to this so late. i wanted to check in my psd the effects I've put just to make sure and then I just forgot.
So I took the original picture, cleaned it and duplicated it.
That duplicate you apply a 'Glowing edges' filter (play with parameters for effect) and you put that layer in overlay blend mode, and clean it a little with a soft brush. Then it's just a matter of changing trasparencie's.
Lastly I retake my original picture, put in in overlay mode in top of the two other ones and gaussian blur it a little and lower down opacity to at least 30-40%
Hope it will help
