Description In the dream, Eames only has one tattoo, Arthur's favourite. In the dream, Arthur can hold all of Eames' mistakes up for him to see, one by one, and show him where they've cut. It's still a dream. They still wake up. But Eames is gentler this time.

I set myself a time limit for this one, 45 minutes. It's not quite as nice as I would like it to be, but it's a fun exercise.

Oh. My. God. Tattoos and mistakes and blood and DREAMS and a jagged reflection, and it's Joe and Tom - guh. This couldn't get any more perfect.

OH GOD that's what I was thinking as I was making it; playing with the dream aspect of their relationship is such an interesting possibility. Danke danke again! I seriously am all warm inside right now, I feel like I've been hugged.

cool one! i like it *)
but Arthur's face should be a little biger for this body and has patches of reflected light like on the chest or shoulder.

batfaggery In reply to Dei-ko [2011-02-16 21:58:21 +0000 UTC]

His head is actually bigger than the guy from the original photograph but I can see what you mean. I had difficulty with it. The problem with this one was that I set myself a 45 minute time limit so it's a little less refined than it should be.

What do you mean by patches of reflected light?

Dei-ko In reply to batfaggery [2011-02-18 08:14:52 +0000 UTC]

for 45 min? it's cool *)

i have a little problem with this word's translation. but 'lingvo' hints me that it is "a speck / patch of light". when the the light is very bright and fall on a surface (or reflects) you can see white spot.

but i like you manipulation very much!

Okay, legitimate speech. As always your work is gorgeous and I'm jealous. I love the blood dripping down Arthur's arm, it doesn't look quite real but very dreamlike. I love it!

batfaggery In reply to Siren-Singer [2011-02-16 11:05:09 +0000 UTC]

Lol because I didn't add the blood! It was in the original photograph. It probably doesn't look quite real because they would have used fake blood for the photoshoot.

Thank you thank you!

I hope you have a license for the rights to publish Joseph Gordon-Levitt's face in your work.

batfaggery In reply to Nostrildarmus [2011-02-15 23:20:16 +0000 UTC]

Just the same way that fanfiction writers have the rights to publish work about real people, yes.

If this wasn't realistic, it wouldn't bother anybody.

Ok then... btw, constructive criticism time, you need to work on your blending between the bodies and the faces

Also, if it's not too much trouble, could you point out whereabouts in particular it stands out? It's difficult for me to see it because I've worked with the picture so much.

Nostrildarmus In reply to batfaggery [2011-02-16 11:31:44 +0000 UTC]

also, try working in a larger image, something near the 2000px*2000px at 300dpi mark, it makes it easier to see kinks like this during creation, and alot easier to fine tune them

Nostrildarmus In reply to batfaggery [2011-02-16 11:30:12 +0000 UTC]

the light sources on Gordon-levitts face, especially on the rigth side, since all other light sources point to the right, where as the one on the right of his face points left. also, where the face merges with the neck, along the jawline, it doesnt look quite right

batfaggery In reply to Nostrildarmus [2011-02-16 21:59:50 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I know, the lighting was an issue. I didn't realise until I'd actually posted the first final that the lighting was different for the two shots I used. I set myself a time limit for this one so it's not as accurate. Thanks.
