I challenge you to a Steel Cage Match!

The cage is looking a little empty these days. Let's bring a little life to this place!

Best of luck, here's the first blow.


Here's the etherial landscape of an earth-like planet as viewed through a circular window.


Excited to see where this takes us.

It seems that I can only use or modify the Planet layer

Hi Ian, Did it add a 3D-render effect to make the whold one looking like through a circular window?

I definitely had some fun with this. Here's a quick video breakdown of my process.


http://d.pr/v/dJ7I


The window is an image of a circular piece of glass using the linear burn blend mode.


I blurred the background where it meets the edges of glass and overlaid some grity texture around the edges as well. No 3D though.


The planet was stitched from 3 images into a panorama, flipped upside down and distorted with polar quardinates. I painted in a little showing and overlaid some glows and colored light leaks.


 


I was reading the cage rules about how to supply the PSD files. It says that in order to keep files sizes down, you should flatten everything leaving a single layer on top of the previous blow. Since this is the first blow I left the plannet layer.

Here's a link to a slightly trimmed down PSD. I had to flatten some things at the bottom.

great start Ian! and feel free to leave the whole image unflattened. Those rules are super old. The important thing is to keep element(s) from the previous round.

To reduce file size to 20mb, try starting with trimming to canvas and removing anything you can't see. Watch for gradient/effect layers that might be off the canvas since it changes the starting points. You can merge that with a blank layer so it can stay separate.

Watch out for huge Smart layers too, they can really bloat your file size.


Good to see some life in the cage, love the first blow its beautiful

Nice work Wateye, the waves and fog you added works well.


Do you prefer to go by Sam or Jian? I noticed both names in your profile and website.
