That's one of the best photos I've seen. Very impressive. Are you a professional photographer or in that field?

Wow. Thank you! I am not, but thanks for asking. I just do it for fun. Family photos, figures photos, etc.

well done

Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah, that's what came on the bottle. lol. I failed trying to think of something clever to put on the bottle so I just left it.

Nice. How did you do the concrete effect on the floor?

I created the wall and the floor. Below is an image. I mocked them up in Photoshop, printed small poster sizes at Walmart and then used glue spray to adhere them onto foam board. It was pretty easy and cost effective.

Very cool! I know you didn't go through all that trouble to make just one photo?

Thanks. I will reuse the floor and background on other photos, so it's not a one-time use for me.

I would suggest lightening the bootleg head's skin tone a bit... seeing as you are working the image in PS.

Thanks for the feedback. You think it's too dark or the shadow to harsh? I will consider this in my next image in the series.

No problem. The bootleg is painted too dark... you can see it relative to the neck. I would just contour it and adjust to make it consistent.

Here's a look behind the scenes...



- I made the background and floor.

- The mechanical arm is by Hot Toys.

- The chair and water bottle are extra parts I've had for years. I don't know who made them.

- Lego Iron Man and parts I borrowed from my son.

- I bought the custom Tony head sculpt.

- Tony's body is a standard Hot Toys body.

- I've had Tony's outfit for years and it's made my Magic Cube Toys. It's very close to what he wore in the first Avengers movie.

- I made both the Lego instructions and box out of paper.

- I designed and used Photoshop to add the Lego imagery to the Lego instructions and box.

- I touched-up where the floor meets the wall in Photoshop.

- I touched-up the lighting and color levels using Photoshop.

- I used Photoshop to add the copy and Unbox Experience brand.
