This is my brother, he has possed before. Our plan was that he would be the assisant and use other model, but my models got hangover :D So I used him and got some help from Ivar(//www.dpchallenge.com/profile.php?USER_ID=10883) here on DPC.
Post progres is a lot, I think most ever by me here on dpc. I worked with curves, levels, dodge, burn, erase, bluring and a lot of layers in difrent opacity. Smart sharpen it and resize, dash of USM for the final release
Yeah and the Fireball is a Aluminium Foil and a Newspaper in a string

I tried to do something like this but found that my string burned too fast for the shot to happen. What kind of string did you use, out of curiosity? Congrats on the 33rd!
That's one scary warlock! I like the simple composition of this, not too much in the background to distract from the subject of fire and the supporting actor. The fog is a nice touch and green grass makes an excellent foil for the fireball. Great clarity in the model and the fire is very dynamic. Technically there is a lot going for this image and the interest/originality is right there, but for some reason it doesn't have that "wow" factor for me. So I voted a 7 on those merits, had it had that certain something it'd had done better, but still, not bad eh?
I really love all the different elements here - it just does not seem to me that they blend together very well. But still, it is a nice photo and definitely a take on the challenge that I like.
I like that you've given the fire some context. However, I think the lightness of the scene works against your druidic theme and there's too much negative space with the sky. This might work better as a square crop.
I don't know about this one. It seems a little out of place and I think it would be better if it was just in the dark with a golden glow around him. Too bad you din't enter this in the magic and mystery challenge.
