This here would be a resurrected attempt at a certain Photoshop attempt here: [link]

Now, despite the fact that I like this one a lot, I still am disappointed at the fact that there are about 200 similar images with different pose that I can use from this photo shoot. With my growing ambitions, I’ve learned to combine ideas from certain separate inspirations I’ve had. Especially from those I see search for on a daily basis. Much thanks goes out to the nameless artists out there whom I draw my ideas. The body here was constructed from four different shots of the same person. But the tactic to emphasize here would be the multiply layers in conjunction with normal layers. The partly transparent layers your seeing are multiply layers of the same image beneath, since a multiply layer doesn’t read the light detail the solution for that was simply to use the same layer in normal mode above it and transition between the two with a soft blend. It is an effect achieved though not accurately, not effectively. Same goes for the smokey me.
