Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 104. Magic Christmas Ball
H friends!
It's my entry to collage contest 104 by @shaka
Yes, this time I decided to make an animated collage)))
I used this images from LIL Image Library
Contributed to the #LIL by @quantumg.
Contributed to the #LIL by @quantumg.
And my own photos
Steps
Highlighting the original photo
(Source photo by @shaka)
Assembly of elements into one file
Then I created a glass ball using a Photoshop action.
Resize the source to fit the ball
Switch off all other layers
Painting with a brush and clone stamp
Copy and paste a crystal ball, change blend mode to Soft light
Drawing the highlights
I draw a loop for a Christmas tree toy
Adding a canvas size at the bottom
Replace a background (fill with gradient on new layer)
Then I will deform the snowman shape as I need it.
As if he was pulling a gift from below to the Angel
Correct the shape and size of objects
Drawing a winter forest with brushes
Adding a shine for Angel with adjustment Layer Selective color and blur copy of Angel layer and change blend mode to Screen
I decided to hang toy stars in the sky
The stars are shiny too
Finally, I got the idea that the snowman is not just giving the Angel a gift - he is already hanging it on the tree!
This is where the Christmas brush set came in handy.
Some Christmas decor with brushes
I added a vintage hue with Color Efex just like on vintage postcards
To create the animation, I created several layers and filled them with the texture of falling snow.
I also created three layers for the highlights on the ball, which I painted with a brush.
And in the Animation palette in Photoshop I created an animated picture
So easy!))
Thanks for great contest!
Have a nice day and Christmas mood to all!

This is a very beautiful collage. Thank you for the detailed description of your process. As the comment from LMAC indicates, only those collagists who designate LMAC as 20% beneficiary will be considered for a prize. Our prize money is derived from these beneficiary designations.
Hope to see you in the next contest with another spectacular design.
@agmoore, thanks a lot for information!
How can I indicate a beneficiary?
Maybe it's written somewhere in the rules, but I didn't understand... sorry)
Hi,
If you go to the bottom of your post and look next to the section where you put tags, you will see a button that says "Advanced". Click on that button and a menu will pop up. You will see, add beneficiaries. Click on that and you will see the option to add beneficiaries. Be very careful about putting the correct name in, otherwise the 20% will go to the wrong place. Then click "Save" at the bottom of that menu.
Let me know if you have any more questions. I'm not very good at navigating the blockchain, but I have this step down pat :)
Have fun this week. I have not started my collage yet. Christmas is distracting, but I'll get to it.
Good luck!
Thanks so much!
I saw!)))
Good Luck in contest! And Merry Christmas again!)))
