Swan, Spring 2025, Mahina Onekea
I decided to start with a swan for this project as I’ve been thinking about them lately with spring coming up. He looked aggressive so I decided to give him a sword using the background removing/select tool. I then added a sculpture in the background to finish the European/Medieval look I was getting. I lastly found this “patchwork” filter that looked surprisingly good and tied the piece together. I definitely feel like this is something you would see at the MET cloisters and decent for my first go at photoshop.
