Final Push

Ive been working on my character and scene over the Christmas Holidays. they are finaly nearing completion.

I have been looking up tutorials online because im still struggling with getting to grips with Photoshop

I scanned in my sketch of my character and created the background out of shapes that I distorted. i then created a shape that mimicked the feeling of a pyramid or structure. This represents what the character fights for in the book.

I then created a new layer and filtered it with a cloud effect. Using the thing i had learned on creating a 'desert storm' http://www.newphotoguide.com/articles/188/2/Desert-Storm/Page2.html

I created a sand storm that surrounds the character, this represents the unstoppable forces he faces. the face that he isn't engulfed within the storm shows his prevalence over the forces and the blue sky coming through shows the hope that he promises his people...its all very cheesy really.
