Other Worldly Vampire Slayer

A story always builds in my head as I create these images. The story behind this one has to do with a colony of humans that settled an industrial facility on a distant moon before realizing there was a vampiric alien species that was about to wipe them all out. To the rescue comes the affectionately titled "Futuristic Warrior Babe" with her twin silver swords "Jinn" and "Tonic."

MEGA thanks to mjranum [link] and the lovely [link] for this kick ass stock photo. This photo manipulation I did for no reason in particular. But it was fun!

--To begin with I manipulated the hell out of this photo, making the model taller, sharpening the swords, adding a gun holster, changing the hair, and adding a lot of custom shadows and highlights. (I also gave her a vampire fang - not sure why. It was a last minute idea.)

--The sunset was also a stock photo that I blurred and laid over itself in overlay mode to increase the contrast and saturation.

--The towers were a stock photo of an industrial plant. I cut out the towers, made them taller, changed their coloring and shading.

--The planet was created in photoshop, as were the rings, sun flares and starfield.

--Lastly I gave the entire image a bluish color cast to give it a cinematic look.
