Stitch!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Okie dokie people... this is the first image from a series I'm working on for my end of year... even tho I'll probably only get one of the images done large as it takes ages for me to get one shot done... this one alone took around 10-12 hours to do.

It's called LeighLo & Stitch!

This was shot with a D70 in the studio with about 3 or 4 (I don't remember entirely... I'll check my lighting notes later on...) light heads with flash.

Now, if you're curious, this is how I've done it.
I originally shot myself sitting next to an empty chair and then the same shot (almost) with a plush gorilla sitting in the chair.

The Gorilla Shot
The Empty Chair Shot

I then printed off the gorilla shot, drew Stitch over him...

My Stitch drawing
Stitch over the Gorilla

... scanned that, coloured it, resized, and started working on 3d tinting and after so much work... got the result you can see at the top of this post. :)

There is a meaning behind it, by the way. While I made it to make people laugh and like it and what not, there is a meaning behind it.

You'd fit right in if you worked for someone like Pixar animations. Awesome work, very good professional looking results!

It doesn't involve an anvil does it?

Well done nnnnsic

You could probably use an anvil especially for banging your head on it, the moment when you wake up following one of your legendary late nights and you suddenly realise your hangover is also legendary as well :D :D :D

Excellent work though

Cheers
