Creating a NEON SAMURAI in Photoshop - Speed Art

For this week's #photoshop #speedart, I wanted to focus on a character, a #samurai warrior who stands guard over futuristic dystopia of neon lights and dizzying heights. A piece like this is always a challenge as it requires a lot of detailed sculpting and blending techniques.

[@PaleSalad]

I would have loved to have seen how the finishing touches came together. Looks fantastic!

[@garymargetson7430]

One thing I love is watching how you have an idea for your composition, decide it's not quite working, and change it. Great work as always.

[@endeavorous708]

Amazing! I love how you get that beautiful glow from the soft Color dodge of the Neon Lights. And I'm always so impressed with your clothing manipulation, it always looks so natural when you do it... but it's definitely not as easy as you make it look! 😭

[@augustinekirumba4304]

Wow... The creativity is on another level...
Was smilling like a mad person the whole process!!
This is totally awesome!!

Absolutely unreal my friend! The way you work is amazing to me.

Waao that was so cool. I personally feel that catching fairies and magical hidden doorway still remains unmatched, they are on the whole new level. Btw what's your favourite among all your works and when is the QandA coming?

[@RealAdd97]

Epic. Those assets looking epic

[@PaulWinters328]

Amazing as always mate. I love the fact that the final version of your art is sometimes different than the end of the speed video. It's good that you dont show every single step and sometimes keep the ending off the video because it adds to seeing the final piece.

[@PhaseRunner]

Thanks man! Appreciate that you think that 👍👊

[@ajproductions2141]

Fantastic work as always, very inspiring, keep up.

[@DreamWithoutYou]

I really love your color correction work! I think that’s one of the most important parts in manipulation and I really need to improve mi skills on that!

[@SarvanshVisuals]

this one really looks epic, I loved the way you added the glitch effect to the japanese letter, really mindblowing😍😍

[@PhaseRunner]

Thank you so much!

[@IngameAsylum]

What I'm finding interesting is that in just about every Photoshop compositing youtube video I've seen, they speak of working non-destructively; and in *this* video... it appears you are working quite destructively. I suppose that just comes with years of practice, and knowing where you can take more and more risks.
Awesome comp!

[@PhaseRunner]

Thanks!! With speed art I get destructive, it's a little more risky but like you say the more you practice and grow in confidence, the less mistakes you make. With client work then it's back to folders, layer titles and masks.

[@Coolmist_]

WOW I love this!!!!!
