My work on one of us 2. I did it using the lower reference.

[rotund gust]

My work on "the last of us 2". I did it based on the lower reference. I would appreciate any criticism or detailed explanations of what needs to be improved 🙂
I found the reference on Pinterest

[topaz whale]

I never saw the first picture, but if youre telling me that’s the official one, I find it hard to believe because your edit looks very attractive and almost feels like the official one. I hope you get what I mean.

I feel like in the first one, they did the water very accurately. The second one feels more like a mirror, but if it had a watery touch, it would look absolutely perfect. Everything else.....the shadows.... the lighting, has been done perfectly in my opinion

let me ask, did you rotate the poster to do the flip side?

[rotund gust]

I'm not very good at English, so I use a translator. Did you get the idea that the left image is mine and the right one is the reference? And what do you mean by "unfolding the poster"? If you're referring to the fact that when I was creating the lower part, I flipped the image 180°, then yes

[rotund gust]

In general, do you like this photo? Do you think I can use it for my portfolio?

[topaz whale]

.....i thought this was the original

tbh i never seen last of us posters but looks p good

i thought it was the original

[rotund gust]

Is it suitable for a portfolio or not?

[topaz whale]

id say work a lil on the contrast

more sharpness and stuffs like that

just needs some lightroom or camera raw filter magic

[rotund gust]

Can we highlight more girls in the background and make the picture a little more saturated?

[rotund gust]

Ok, thanks

mhm

try some stuffs

ill do too lemme see what i can do...im not very good with lightroom but its fun

[rotund gust]

Maybe I'll try to improve it today or tomorrow and post it here again for feedback

[topaz whale]

soemthing like this but you can do more...since its your work you know whats the best

[topaz whale]

alright!

these are the changes i did

[rotund gust]

Cool, what did you use to create those lines?

[topaz whale]

wrap tool, and imad brushes

i removed a bit of shadows of the girl from the reflection since the water never rlly depicts that much of shadows

its more lighter from my view

and the text had some plain looks

which made me think its the original poster

i added some temprature and texture to it

[rotund gust]

Did you use the brush with the lines at the bottom to create the reflection effect?

[topaz whale]

idk which brush youre referring to but i use a brush pack from imad, hes a photoshop artist on yt

and yes i used a brush and some wrapping

[rotund gust]

Is this a paid set?

[topaz whale]

its free on yt

yt

😭 im not getting any money at all im just 17

and ye ofc i got a few dollars in paypal maxmium of 10

i dont think that would be enuf to buy a brush pack in photoshop

[rotund gust]

I didn't know about this website. If it's not too much trouble, can you send me a link?

[topaz whale]

its a website called YouTube.com

[rotund gust]

Thank you

[rotund gust]

I tried to make the same lines as you have, on the road of the lower part of the poster added the texture of reflection in the water. A little bit of light around the mutants and a little bit of green on the upper part. I'll come home and throw my option)

[topaz whale]

thats nice

keep the flow of your brushes at 75-80 to have that yk wavy texture for the water

and ofc you should know abt the brush settings...

you can shrink your brush if u dont have a set

and kinda get same results

opacity of my brush was abt 45

i used blending too

[rotund gust]

I finished

[topaz whale]

🔥 okay well this is literally perfect

ig you can keep this in your portfolio

also im very curious to yk see some of your other artworks

[rotund gust]

Thanks for your help. I like the image much better now

[topaz whale]

youre welcome

[rotund gust]

There are no other similar ones yet) I'm working on a course, and this was the final project: "create a realistic art photo based on a game poster." Well, I'll just drop another one, but it's simpler

[topaz whale]

Thats interesting. Ive never had a course actually, i watched many content creators like imad, benny and ofc phase runner

they teach alot on their yt

i found this randomly in this server, i wanna make something out of this but im a little out of idea

i add some random stuffs and hopefully it turns out good

[rotund gust]

But the composition is not mine, I also did it based on a reference, I just searched for suitable sources and the entire process. The reference has a similar arrangement of objects, but instead of dragons, there was a ship

[topaz whale]

i love the atmosphere, perfect contrast

but i feel like the title

its a little messed up

[rotund gust]

Do you want to add effects to this work or create your own?

[topaz whale]

and why is there a random cloud

[topaz whale]

well im completely transforming it atp

i removed car and placed a better car

mustang type

i kinda painted out some trees in the background jus to fill the area

[rotund gust]

Behind the text for contrast and highlighting

[topaz whale]

oh mb i didnt see a logo

this is how it looks like now

ofc its not realistic

but im working on it, especially the pace and speed effect

[rotund gust]

Oh, will you mark it on the final? Maybe I'll try to assemble a picture using this reference, but only if I have time. After all, I have school and need to complete the course assignments.

[topaz whale]

my idea was to have an explosion in the background but it wouldnt have a good story

then i thought of the car being super car and creating some fire cuz of its insane speed

[topaz whale]

i guess so

ill post my final edit here in ps-gallery
