Nemesis

Nemesis

I still love Planet X Apocalypse. It is definitely a conversation piece. How could any guest not acknowledge a large robot standing guard on the coffee table? Unfortunately with no space to display large pieces in the living room, I have dispersed the larger figures to the bedrooms, much to my family's annoyance.

Apocalypse is too big for my light tent and my acrylic sheets so I had to shoot him on a piece of white poster board, then painstakingly cut him out. I'm a bit out of practice so hopefully I didn't leave too much of an outline. I added the purple glows in Photoshop because I ran out of those little batteries to make use of his light-up feature. 

The star field is from a couple of Noise layers. The nebulas are from a cloud photo I had taken somewhere and colored with a Color Dodge layer using my custom smoke brush. Both suns and the small planet are created from Sphere Distortions of marble textures I found online, then color graded with Layer Styles and Photo Filters. Using Color Dodge as the Outer Glow Blend Mode causes them to interact with the cloud layer underneath, giving them their asymmetrical halo. The foreground is a NASA photo of our own atmosphere. And of course, I wrapped it all up with a lens flare.
