How does a person make or add angel wings?
Are there any good tutorials for PS CS4 to create angel wings? May 21 09 06:09 pm Link I have used brushes that I found on deviant art with varying degrees of sucess. I would love to find a better way or higher quality brushes. May 21 09 06:29 pm Link I haven't seen any tutorials, but would be pretty surprised if google-or-similar didn't have some indexed somewhere. There's a couple of obvious directions, though: 1. Start with a photo of existing wings of the sort you want (white, colored, black, bat, bird...) in compatible lighting, and composite them together. 2. Draw them from scratch. Obviously, these require different skill sets...  May 21 09 06:32 pm Link I'm thinking its all layers. just use angel brush or something to create it on a seperate layer. then merge them? -shrugs- May 21 09 06:41 pm Link I have always used wings from the birds I have shot, but it takes time going through all of them to find the right ones. I also wish there was a better way to create them as I can't draw for anything :-) May 21 09 06:44 pm Link I would say buy some wings and start from there. It is really obvious when they are added later..

May 21 09 06:56 pm Link You can go to a site such as BigStockPhoto.com to find wings and then you can add them as a layer. When done properly it can look very convincing and impressive! May 21 09 07:05 pm Link A friend has a pet cockatoo, I just use pictures of "Lizzy the Bird" when I want to add wings to a image, although I might modify them a bit.  May 21 09 07:12 pm Link You could always buy some wings and shoot them with compatible lighting and then composite the shots. May 21 09 07:12 pm Link  This was a mixture of brushes (found on DeviantArt as mentioned above) and layers. I did it a couple of years ago and I am no photoshop wizard, so I have forgotten the steps I took to create it May 21 09 07:19 pm Link ...and this was done with 'real' wings stretched and manipulated  May 21 09 07:21 pm Link I have made stock images of angel wings that I have made for people to use for free. The background is transparent so there is no need to cut them out. I have all kinds of shapes as well. They are all white, but can be easily be inverted in photoshop to look black.   I have more on my Stock Deviantart.com account. http://alegion-stock.deviantart.com/ Colin May 21 09 07:21 pm Link I used brushes I have found on Deviant art. May 21 09 07:23 pm Link Deviant Art has tons of cool brushes, I get all mine from there. Heres a link to what they got available: http://www.deviantart.com/#catpath=reso … ng+brushes What you'll first is isolate her (sorry if I'm starting too far back here) from the background. You'll probably have better luck doing this in the original color image. Some of the tools I use for this are the magnetic lasso and the color select tools. Once you got her on her own layer, create a new layer for your wings and drag it below the subjects layer. Stamp the wing brush and adjust it to your liking, add color if ya want May 21 09 07:25 pm Link alegion wrote: Oh, Deviant Watched!

May 21 09 10:08 pm Link I've used stock images of stained glass wings but projected them on the wall behind the model in the studio. https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=5081070 18+ for bewbz May 21 09 10:13 pm Link DVS wrote: That is very cool.
