my head is melting
wotty at June 10, 2005 6:36 AM
While I was working on my section, I was thinking it was the sickest corpsesection I've ever done--and a bit out of character--but now that I see the completed composition, where everything is equally disturbing, I can see that everyone was definitely subconsciously connected to hell! Look...the word "hell" appears twice in the title!
While I was working on my middle guy's head and attaching it to the flesh-colored bit that descended from the 15 px strip, I was thinking that I was probably wrong in choosing a head. I suspected that the previous piece was a chest, possibly the area right under a breast. I can see that my unconscious impulse to choose a head was the right one, as I made a mutant joined-at-the head creature.
If Hieronymus Bosch was living today, he'd be doing things like this.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who has put children in hell in a corpse. ;)

I want a poster of this Corpse, just so I can put it up at my cubicle at work.

Mouth-eyes. Eye-mouths.
I need a cold compress and a lie-down now.

This is my first corpse and to be honest i didn't think that my slice would fit in with anyhing. I could have got the transistion into it a bit better but on the whole i think that the whole thing has a very cool slightly disturbing groovy elemant to it. Bring on the next one!!

by the way how do you bend and blend your images like that?? the bendy headed babies are so cool!!!
bone at June 10, 2005 10:31 AM
bone:
bending: I use Photoshop and there are several filters that you can use to do that, such as Shear and Warp. I also use some third party (Flaming Pear) plugins...there's a filter called "Swerve" that has some nice warping effects--I prefer it to Photoshop's native filter.
blending would take many tutorials on how to do it...I guess we all have our own techniques. If you're using Photoshop, you can use your Channels to make gradients, which when selected, can delete portions of your chosen layers creating smooth transitions.

I don't know about everyone on this corpse being subconsciously connected to hell, though it is definitely hellish as a whole! The first slice, viewed in isolation, is actually quite cheery ... which just serves to emphasise the head-meltingly creepy imagery employed by the other three reprehensible individuals.
That's not an insult. I'm actually struggling not to burst into wild applause here.

Funny you should mention Hieronymus Bosch, Ann. I snuck a little of his art in one of my yet-to-be-posted slices.
