How do I know I can trust him Frank, he looks rather transparent to me! Nicely done. Is he yours or AI?

Thanks Dave. You can trust him. He is the bearer of all knowledge. Like a ghost he can appear without completely being there.
He unlike knowledge, I bought him.

Engaging concept, especially the transparent aspect.

The element on the lower right, is it a gate? It feels too small for where it's located, although the post is kind of too large IMO I think I understand your purpose, but in their current form, they are distracting from the key message, and the beauty of the colors and scene.

You’d think a man like that couldn’t be bought Frank!

I see what you’re saying. However I was thinking along the lines, the gate is open. Enter into my world. I originally had him on a sand dune and switched him out. The gate was one of the reasons for the switch.

Great concept! He could go for a little bit more shading, don't you think? He's indeed rather spooky but the globe he's holding is rather flat and dull. It could do with a bit more highlighting and shadow. He's definitly spooky though!

I at one point used a gradient on the globe. But changed it to what is in the image. I felt the solid color was more fitting. I also played with him being more solid. But again I wasn’t crazy about the look.
I think if I posted all the elements no two would look similar.

Beautiful Frank, I'm going to have to learn that transparency trick. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Jack the way I did it was with three different texture layers I have in my library. I am sure it can be done in multiple ways. I used a different Blend Mode on each texture.
