Mate!! This is seriously impressive work!

I couldn't even think of a decent idea for this image but you have it down. The detail matching is absolutely spot on!

u/Cmatthewman Mar 04 '16

Thanks mate. Not gonna lie, I lost patience a few times working on it. I was the same, couldn't figure out what to do with it to begin with. Believe it or not but this started out life as a transformer, then I tried creating some sort of rocket superbike. Once I figured out that wasn't gonna work I started messing about with steam trains and eventually found the source sketch image I used. Its funny how things work out :)

u/DaminDrexil Mar 02 '16

God damn that's impressive :O

You've gotta show us how you did that!

2

u/Cmatthewman Mar 04 '16

Cheers Damin. Probably the most cutting and pasting I've ever done in a shop. Must've had about 80 layers of scribbles and hatching. Killed my computer a few times too :)

u/DaminDrexil Mar 04 '16

Damn! Just read your other comment about it, too. It sounds like you gathered a collection of basic sketch lines, and manually added them together to get the right density / luminosity; is that right? Either way, it turned out great :)

I was got really into replicating engravings in Ps about 18 months ago, and developed my own technique for doing the shading automatically. Here's a relatively quick (possibly NSFW) example. Apologies on the source material; 'twas the first person I found, on /r/pics, that wouldn't look out-of-place!

The engraving lines layer I used was smooth, with just a touch of ripple effect for variation. You get more hand-drawn-looking results with less geometric patterns :)

I use a similar technique to yourself for getting the outlines; although I use "high pass" and threshold instead (with a bunch of levels controls w/ masks for targeted adjustment).

Thanks for sharing. She fits in well :)

u/FullNoodleFrontity Mar 02 '16

This is just amazing. You are going to let us know how you did this, aren't you?

u/Cmatthewman Mar 02 '16 edited Mar 02 '16

First thing I did was to reduce the image size and use the posterize filter in the filter gallery. The black areas were selected using the magic wand select and pasted onto a new layer to give this kind of image.

The image was then placed onto the source image with the foreground items/man copied and pasted to the front of the engine.

To get the sketchy effect I used the lasso tool to cut out the image as this leaves a rougher line than the pen tool.

The infill shading was a combination of scribbles with the pen tool, and cutting/copying small pieces from the main source image and also these sketches I found online: here, here, and here. This was the time consuming part :(

u/BoomerKeith Mar 02 '16

Very cool. How did you do that?

u/fiveminus Mar 03 '16

For the racer cockpit I covered the wheels of an old Mercedes F1 car with airplane tail wings. I drew the connecting hardware on the engine and the rope with the brush tool. Then I flattened it all. To turn that all into line art I used photocopy in filter gallery with black and white as foreground/background and set it to multiply. I drew a grid in illustrator and pasted that underneath. At this point it was all black lines on transparrent. I put a scan of folded paper underneath that and put a light displace filter on the grid and the racer (and the text) with the piece of paper as the displacement map. the final step was putting a blue to white gradient map on it all.

u/BoomerKeith Mar 03 '16

Thank you! It really turned out amazing. I hope others realize how much skill it took to get the final product.

I guess you deserve the extra point since you got creative with the beam.

Great shop, but it is a jet engine not a rocket...

4

u/Shrimpey Mar 01 '16

Yeah, I am aware of that fact, I just thought that "rocket" word suits better the whole name, that it enhances it's absurdity and fits the vintage style of the poster :P Sorry, if that annoys you, I'm still learning to make proper 'shops, this is just my second entry to this kind of contests :)

u/corzmo Mar 01 '16

No worries, I love it! It's okay if you know you're taking "artistic liberties"!

This is the third time I looked at this image, I almost wrote you to say you put in the source and not the image. Found it. Nice clean work. :)

u/staffell Mar 03 '16

Haha, are you sure you found it?? This is terrible!

I didn't have time to enter this week, but expecting half the subs to be lightsabers, I decided to do a quick joke entry instead anyway. ;)

u/i_am_a_bot_ama Mar 03 '16

Lol. Well I didn't think it deserved to go negative. :p. I do remember thinking ok, here we go with the sabers, Staffells should be good though. I had the sam problem,. all these plans and ran out of time too. Ahh well.
