Custom Star Wars "Galyk Lightguard"




My first complete composite was a self portrait yet I was completely covered in a custom character cosplay. The costume was made up of 2 different colors of Burlap. Tan and a gray color. The burlap was ver itchy and shredded a lot. I had an airlift mask, a gray hooded shirt, 2 arm gloves with burlap wraps, Black cargo pants, black boots wrapped in burlap, Shoulder armor, and a Saber Forge Lightsaber

The main obstacle for this shoot was that I had to shoot myself and I was in complete costume while doing so. It was hot and sweaty running back and forth from the camera to the backdrop. I had the 10 second timer on the camera so I could have enough time to run over to the backdrop.

This first image was achieved by incorporating my cutout shot of my cosplay, 2 Different rocky backgrounds, a Landscape, A space shot, A planet, a holocron, and a Ship. I also did plenty of adjustments to hue, brightness, contrast, and layered smoke FX. I was very pleased with this image in the end.
