Before|After - AstroKerrie's Crusader (Patreon)

Taken at PAX AU 2018 this shot of Astrokerrie's Crusader took about 10-15 minutes from start to finish. The candles were two stock images I had, I had a third but the colour and look if the flame was too different so I didn't use it. The Smoke from the candles and background smoke where from two brush sets I have installed and use quite a bit so they where readily as hand as was the particle overlay which is my go to and I use a lot! The hint of a mountain in the background was stolen from a game wallpaper for GoW or Halo or something. You can still see the floor tile markings in the finished one because I didn't take time to remove them :P
