#06 Ribbon Style
Was at Kokuhen-san's site when this beautiful piece of digirama caught my immediate attention (sorry Kokuhen-san!). Digirama done up by this "Qooler" fella.
Qooler's site here. Orginal post here.
Dunno Qooler in person, but we do have one principle in common:
"#1 take ur camera everyhere u go... #2 don't think, just shoot... "

Digirama: An Appreciation Part 2

Following up on my earlier post, here is the breakdown of the steps the artist went through in arriving at the masterpiece:

Choosing the scene (this take lotsa imagination and inspiration)

And the skills are put to good use...

Adding the rock platform...

Filling in the water...

And the groundwork is done...

Model in her original state...

Previewing the appropriate size to fit in the scene...

and the model is in...

Adjusting the water level...

Leveling the water level...

Trasparancy of the water...

Adjusting the water refraction effect on her clothes that are submerged in water...

Fine-tuning the color of her clothes that are submerged in water...

Fine-tuning the water rippling effect on the water surface... and the background lighting effect...
Adding the water reflection effect on her chest...

Now, the below picture puzzles me though... the tail of her top wasn't there in the earlier few pictures... now its back..

Making the water translucent enough to see the top tails...

And the master piece is completed!
