Who Are We? The Venus Hive

I started work on this newhive page because its the one i had the clearest ideas for, i wanted to reacreate a depiction of the goddess Venus but using my own photo in this weird kind of cyberspace world.

So i started by cutting out this lovely photo id taken at home in photoshop. I stuck a red filled layer underneath used the rubber tool to do an outline, the red makes it easier to see what your cutting out and the dropped cut out me onto a nice desktop background of clouds and water.

I messed a bit around with the saturation to give it a bit of a cyberspacey early 90s graphics look.

 

To make it more like one of the old paintings of the goddess Venus i cut out these cherubs from Cabanels Birth of Venus, flipped them and used the hue and saturation tool i used on the background to make them bright pink.

The Original Venus (The Birth of Venus, Alexandre Cabanel)

My Venus

Next job was to create a gif that looked like a photobooth window, i just took a screenshot of my photobooth window with lots of photos of me done up like venus, cut away all of the stuff i didnt need and made a gif in photoshop from a video also made in photobooth
