Thought I would start a Images/GFX/Photo inspiration thread for people to post stuff they come accross on the internet on a daily basis for other people on here to view, shout about, discuss or just simply say wow.

 

Rules:

 

1) If you are showing someone else's work (which most of the posts will be) try to link to the page you found it on as a lot of ppl like to use websites like DA and get view counts.

2) If you cant show the image directly on this thread (i.e. DA does not let you copy a link and post to another site) either use a screenshot software like Gyazo to post the image but very important link to the page you found it on as this shows the owner of the image you are crediting them with it.

3) Type of images allowed are anything goes just what you find that gives you inspiration but try to post something about the image i.e. "this is a photo I have seen on such and such" or "this manip is awsome", this way ppl not totaly into this type of thing will see what type of image it is and be able to comment.

 

Screenshot software

 

Gyazo

https://gyazo.com/

 

Places to find inspiration

 

Google

Devaintart

http://www.freeimages.com/

instagram

many many photo album sites

 

 

 

And lastly have fun

 

 

(p.s. if a mod finds anything that needs changing in my post please go ahead thnkies)

It does amaze me to see this and I always wonder with time would I be able to even get 10% of that ability on my wacom.

 

 

Stuff iv seen this morning that found great and an inspiration:

 

http://dani-owergoor...ife-3-619953403

For a manip I don't think you can do better blending of images that whats above.

 

http://lingdumstudog...-Park-619909534

So simple yet totally effective.

 

http://kevron2001.de...ospel-619979215

I loved this today more than any of the above.  Its totally my type of style and I love how they have made the images almost look painted.

 

http://zerox-ii.devi...apore-619885031

How great is that I cant tell if its a painting or manip or digital art and that's the best thing.

 

http://m-eralp.devia...jakka-619922070

How great would it be to be able to take a photo like that

 

http://realitydream....XVIII-620010945

The colours really stand out so much.  I saw this yestday night and it made me get my camera and charge it.  Going to try and do the same thing tonight in an area i know just down the road from me.

[Hellraid]

just incredible, the 3rd one looks so incredibly awesome

[Bones]

http://carolinemadis...where-619971076

Love this picture @Hellraid is it difficult to get the BG so blurred out on the camera or does it have to be done later on PS?

 

http://generazart.de...-lost-619184112

Simple but effective manip here.  Shows ppl that maniping does not need to be hard just about getting the correct flow on your images.

@Bones

 

it is not, you do however need a lens that can lower your aperture to something around 2,5. preferably lower like 1,2 1,4 to get an even better result. It can be done in photoshop to, but won't look as good.

[Bones]

oh ok thanks I will look into to it.  I as yet have not purchased any lenses but I have had a look at ebay and there are a few id like to get.

Thanks mate I will next payday.

 

Don't mention is, I bought a similar to my camera. Mine is 50 mm which sometimes a pain to use if you want to photograph landscape. It was very cheap though. Maybe around 90 euros

http://pascalcampion...rtime-621535476

This shows now all Digi Art needs to be mega hours/days spent doing it.  Just love the "scratch" type brush work

 

http://loukas-art.de...-View-621362584

Another great manip here.  What makes it brill is the blending of the images they all feel like there should be there.

 

http://donmalo.devia...ERVED-621463779

Its a Digi art day - love it

 

http://cakobelo.devi...wther-622462816

Sometimes the hardest thing when doing a Manip is how to get the idea in your head onto paper/screen.  I think this artist has done this very well.

First off today I am going to give a shout out to @Nanarie check out her thread here so awesome:

12th August

Its time for an update.....

 

http://kevron2001.de...a/4679338&qo=16

Nice simple Manip here but its the idea that gets me really fresh and could see this in a magazine.

 

http://kevron2001.de...a/4679338&qo=15

Again simple manip but works well.  This shows you that manips dont have to be complex ideas, sometimes simple is the way to go.

 

http://j-humphries.d...a/4679338&qo=12

Great Digi art.  I just love the colours and the focal point it all works for me.

 

http://elenadudina.d...a/4679338&qo=11

A very complex Manip here that shows you how much time this person has put into the image to make them all blend well together.  The hardest part of doing maniping is getting the images with different light sources flow well.

 

http://cakobelo.devi...Ma/4679338&qo=9

Again as above a very complex Manip.

 

http://tigaer.devian...Ma/4679338&qo=8

This for me is about as good as Digi art can be.  So much going on in this image but it 100% works.

 

http://ketunleipaa.d...Ma/4679338&qo=6

Love this Digi Art very much my style.
