The Prisoner Of the Ice

[kostas nianiopoulos]

I play last night with the cs4 i was try to do something with ice , and this image came out .
the only real image here is the flower .
this stuff that looks maybe a little bit like dark blue ice ,
are made with : BG black , black layer , then added clouds from the render .
3D new mesh from grayscale/cylnder . Then the 3D tools to rotare the ice .
when i had this ice i wanted , i made 3 copy layers , to make this stuff around ..
then the KPT effect has added to give that thing in the deep who looks like a frozen spider's net .
the gray part is with the same method , but i cant remember what i did to get this color , it tooks a lot of hours
thats why i miss some things i did , im sorry about this .

thanks for waching .

Kostas I like the cool feeling and the different elements work well here IMHO. My only thought would be to have the flower less centered.

Very nice image and application Kostas.

Your starting to get the hang of it! :D

Nicely done.

This is very interesting. This has a very dimensional look. The white flower has nice detail. Than you for sharing your workflow.:)

Kostas, I really like your combination / collage images! This one is beautiful but I do have one suggestion...since the "feeling" of this image is about ice and coolness, you might take a look at pulling out some of the yellow tones of the flower and taking the whites more to a cool blue tone. ??? Just a subtle shift in color temperature might really set off the rest of the blues in the image.
