Smoke art skeleton - WITH A DIFFERENCE!

Hi guys,

Ok so some time ago I posted my first piece of manipulated smoke art in this thread here - lady in red smoke art

I later pushed the boundaries of the manipulation and posted a new thread here - Smoke art flower

Doing both those images took a while with a lot of blending and layer management going on. I promised in the former thread that I was working on another image that I would show in due course. Well I have finally got round to doing it.
It consists of 56 layers and approx 30-40 of my own smoke images to build it.
Comments and crit welcome

Thats excellent!
How many pics did you take for that and how long did it take to edit together?
 
Bl***y hell, that is amazing. :notworthy:
 
56 layers :clap: , I have problems trying to use 2 :bang:. What about a tutorial :rules: on how you achieved this master piece?

Di
 
Thank you.
If there was enough interest I would happily write a tutorial from the start of the process right through to the end result.
 
Very nice. How do you do this?
I'd suggest that the legs need to be much longer.

Thank you.
The image is created but cropping, trimming and erasing various parts of stock smoke art images that I took and then arranging them as layers in photoshop.
You literally start with a blank canvas in PS.

Re the legs, you could be right but then is it an adult, a child or a dwarf skeleton :D
 
Thats fantastic:clap:
 
absolutley smokin'.. (has anyone done that one yet??) :LOL:

great job stuart - flawless execution. :clap:
