My Entry to Benny's Spooky Edit War 2021! | Halloween Photoshop Art

This video is all about #BennysSpookyEditWar2021 and no #Halloween can be complete without the epic #Photoshop challenge hosted by the exceptional ‪@BennyProductions‬

This year I decided to think out of the box and do something creative with the limited stock images. And, I would definitely like to mention my biggest inspiration - the one and only ‪@PhaseRunner‬ His winning entry from the last year made me realise the endless possibilities lie far beyond the stock images. It only depends on one's imagination and how he or she uses the tools at his or her disposal to create something epic. So fully inspired I tried creating something big and daring. I hope you will like it.

This Photoshop composition took more than thirty hours to complete. So, although I am not able to explain all the steps in fine detail, I will give helpful tips along the way on the various topics like - placement and perspective, aerial depth, texturing, clipping and masking, highlights, rain effects and so on. So, be sure to watch the entire video and let me know in the comments if you found them helpful.

Also, do let me know your thoughts about the artwork in the comments section. I would love to hear your views. And as always - Enjoy Creating!

Final artwork is at: 3840px X 2160px 300dpi
Total time taken: 30+ hours
