This was my very first time using the photoshop software, so the image in my head is not exactly duplicative of this composition. However, I’m pretty pleased with the final product. I had the idea of smoke contrasting flames. I began with adding shapes like the keyhole and the line. Then I experimented with the flames, which took me awhile to figure out. The smoke is just a gradience I created switching between different levels of brightness and contrast.
i have to say wow, this is giving me a flash back of a Anime i watched. this looks good.
I like the colors you used and the texture across the photo. It’s very eerie and the composition reminds me of an album cover.
