I usually don't post any of my art like this on my private feed. But for this one, I took part in a Photoshop art challenge hosted by BennyProductions, one of the biggest, if not The biggest, Photomanipulation artist moguls on YouTube.
The competitions are really great ways to test skills and development gained, but also a good way to get one's art shown to the public.
I’ve participated for fun before also but never made any bigger deal of it.
This time, the challenge was super loose. He gave us a PNG of himself and told us to do, basically, whatever with it(in other words, GO crazy!). He also didn't set a submission limit, so I did two subs for this one. Anyway, back to the topic!
This young fellow(Benny is a young Adult) has great enthusiasm for Star Wars and Lego.
So, I decided to turn his PNG into a custom Lego figurine of himself. I also decided I wanted Star Wars Legos in the piece, but I'm 37 years old, not a Lego enthusiast, and have no children, so I don't own ANY Lego anymore. But I simply didn't want to make stuff in 3D, either. So I headed out to a toy store and asked if it was okay to take macro pics of their displayed figures, and the answer was yes, so!
Here is my Submission to the challenge. and after 9 hours of work(100% No AI!) and almost all of my free time spent that one day on the holidays, the end result will also be seen in how I made it, this weekend as an entertaining speed art video on my YouTube channel!
