I really enjoyed this project, this scene is from Rick and Morty a Show I have enjoyed. I came across this image that was done out of paper and I wanted to recreate this in Photoshop and give it a little more depth. I have been wanting to play more with the fx that Photoshop has and become more acquainted with how they work, this project gave me that chance. Once I finished with the design I tried to use shading to create a black and white visual of the same thing It tuned out good but it was interesting to play with the hues to try and create a better image without colors.
The process of creating this image was fairly straight forward, I would use layers with drop shadows to create the feel of depth on the screen. I used the original image and extracted out the characters and mountains and then I created separate layers for each color to see through. The planets on the back were made by using the ellipse tool then using a smoke brush as an eraser to create the see through perspective. I have really enjoyed creating light boxes in this style and am looking forward to using what I have to create them digitally as well.
