Create An Avatar Movie Transformation With Photoshop
Filed under Photo Effects
This is a Photoshop tutorial showing you all the steps you need to take in order to photo-manipulate yourself into a Na’vi (based on the characters in James Cameron’s movie “Avatar”). I used Photoshop CS2 in order to create this, but newer and older versions should do the same, as I used basic Photoshop tools only. I hope you will find this helpful.
Step 1
Import a photograph of your choice, but make sure its size is relatively large, as it gives more room to play with. Also, make sure that the person on the photograph is well lit – but not overlit – perhaps taken with a flash, so that enough sharp details are visible.
Choose a “hard” brush from the”Tools” window (I tend to use a “Chalk” brush) and set its “Mode” to “Color”, and its “Opacity” to 50%. Now pick a shade of blue from your Color Palette and brush over the entire skin area, leaving out the hair, eyes, and clothing. Now repeat this a couple of times using different shades of blue. In order to get the kind of blue I wanted, I did this four times in total using these colours: #5d7a99 – #32576a – #3c6986 – #54809b. However, every photograph is different, so you may prefer different shades of blue for your image.
And finally, pick a shade of purple, I used #472a50, with a small brush and its Opacity set to 10%, paint the lips with it, and then randomly brush all over the face with it, as this breaks everything up a bit, thus making it more “natural” looking.
