Photoshop Gurus Composite

This was composite done as a favor for the owner of Photoshop Gurus.

It's a straightforward composite arranging disparate elements into montage composition with a grunge theme.

All of the excised elements had to be color graded and tonally matched. There are several hand painted elements within the piece. The girl's hair was quite a side project, being pen tool selected out strand by strand, and then hand tinted. The neon sign is completely fabricated, as are the light sources inside of the abandoned building.

I deliberately distorted the car to make it look like a modified future car.

I'm pleased with the overall effect given my aims, the time I allotted to the project, and the positive feedback I received.
