Thought I would upload a layered PSD for those interested. It contains the steps from beginning to end, though I've combined a few layers and reduced the resolution by 2/3rds in order to keep file size reasonable. Click download in the top right or click here: [link]
Thanks so much for sharing this Tom. Really fantastic stuff as always!! It would be much appreciated if you could elaborate a little on the 'compositional balance' stage of the image. What sort of checks are you making and what is your mental process. Thanks again sir!
I have a hard time working with 3D and usually try and cover it up immediately if I have to use it for production work. I don't really ever use it for personal pieces
