Kapow!

Each figure was shot individually and placed onto the image. I cleaned up a few visible screws on each of the figures and the brand on Prowl's foot. There is also a subtle shadow layer over the ground.

Gundog and Prowl were basic poses. Posing Wardog was a little more involved. I basically leaned him against a white candle and erased it in Photoshop.

I created the explosion with my custom smoke brush. The ground is the lake bed from a nearby park. They had drained the lake because of the drought. The sky is just of a summer afternoon.
