I'm sure some people find techniques like this to be overboard and unnecessary...but I'm fascinated with photoshop and I LOVE trying new stuff like this. I hope you like the effect..

Certainly an interesting technique, well done.

**clackers** · 03-06-2015, 12:37 AM

Oh, really like it! :-)

If you'd posted this in Critique, I'd have said that I would like the effect and facial expression to match better. The dissolving effect seems a bit scary to me, like a scifi or horror movie thing, and it goes against the calm facial expression. Maybe I get the wrong impression from the image?

But this isn't critique, so just disregard all of the above.

Regards,
--Anders.

It was mostly a proof of concept for me. I learned the technique and I really wanted to apply it to a photo that I had available to me. The photo wasn't taken with this in mind. I guess I could say it's a metaphor for becoming one with nature?

I would love to learn that technique. Looks awesome!

It's a super easy technique, IMHO. I just used different brushes than in the video. I used smoke brushes rather than splatter brushes.
