Beings by Madeon Fall in the hands of a greater unknown Let me be there And tell me if you need time to prepare All we'll demand is the world In making this image, I started with the concept of train tracks running into a cave that would have an entrance to a portal to outer space or some other dimension. It was all centered around the idea of submitting yourself to a greater destiny and moving onto greater things. I started with a base image to serve as the background, which was the train tracks picture which was taken in Encinitas. I grayscaled it and added a Cutout filter from the filter gallery in Photoshop. Then I added the rocky image to resemble a mountainside, and I used a layermask tool to carve out the shape of a cave. I added the Cutout filter to this as well. Then I inserted a photo of stars that I got online, and made it have a blue hue. I applied a light Cutout filter, then decided to use a spin blur to make it resemble a portal. Next, I used a photograph of Enzo for the main subject. I used a layer mask to trim out his body, then applied the Cutout filter and grayscaled the image. I added a glow and outline in the blending options for that layer. I duplicated the layer and transformed it, and made it all black, so that it would resemble a shadow on the floor behind him. I blurred it slightly so it would be less rough around the edges. Next, I added my photograph of flowers (grayscaled) and applied them at the base of the mountainside image. The last image I added was part of a picture of clouds I photographed (grayscaled). I felt this was necessary because the top of the image looked too empty. Lastly, to add some color to the image, I put a gradient that transitioned from pink to blue on top of all the other layers. I then set the opacity to around 15% so that everything else was visible beneath it. The hardest part was probably making the train tracks appear to run within the portal section and make them fade out into the distance; I honestly don't even remember how I did it.
