Well...in my house, my husband makes me stand nude in the living room with Barb, Sis and Eulalia.
During Easter, he has the 3 of us on crosses.

The subtle fog effect and the girl's pose nicely evoke a chilly autumn atmosphere.
Ee we were that hard up, we couldn't afford a marble one,
our Dad just had to put a naked woman in 't hallway
Hallway? You were looky.
We used t' dream of hallway.
Our da used to bury mum naked up to her thighs in muddy pit in t' garden!
Maybe you can share with us in the development. The road to the final image is certainly of interest.

The weather is becoming humid and chilly. The leaves are getting brown.
Summer is about to be crucified.
Good job, Jolly!

I was going to say, I've always liked the desert.No, of course .... It's coming from ...
Only those deserts ...I was going to say, I've always liked the desert.
Well, since you asked.
This was a fairly simple manip, overall.Step 1: I wanted an atmospheric fall background. I found an edited photograph of a park in autumn. The fog/mist effect was already built into the background.
Step 2: Add the model. I got this model online - it is the actress who played Thessela in "Spartacus" (recall the famous crucifixion scene). I had "doctored" the image for a manip I made for Thessela's most recent birthday (that image seems to have vanished with the 'episode' in July). I adjusted the image of the model in Photoshop to remove the clothing. That was the trickiest step, but as I noted, I did that part earlier in the summer, so I really just used my edited model now.
I added my model into the image as a new layer.
Step 3: Cleaning the model layer to remove the shiny outlines, and some "garbage" left over from the original editing of the model. This makes her look like she belongs in the picture, rather than something that was just stuck onto the page.
Step 4: Add the cross, and adjust for the fog effect and lighting. For this I adjusted the transparency of the cross and added a luminescence filter.
Step 5: I wanted a somewhat surreal effect so I applied an oil paint filter to the background image, and cropped the whole thing to fit the height of the model.
Step 6: Finally, I saved the whole photoshop PSD project as a JPG, and then adjusted the shadows, highlights, contrast and saturation for the entire image to give it more vibrance and glow. I also added my watermark for the final image, as presented above (and here):
I have to confess that I went mostly by my own "feel" for the piece, rather than an explicit worked out storyline, in choosing the model, and also in my decision to use a lying down cross, rather than a standing one. I very much enjoyed the interpretive comments on her stance and the symbolism. I expect these images say slightly different things to each viewer. This was not my most complex manip, and really has only 3 elements/layers, but I didn't feel that it needed more. I am very happy that the final image seems to have caught the eye of my CF friends. It's always nice to hit that mark.
Yeah, that is what i mean! Thank you Jolly!Well, since you asked.
