Glad you like! Guitarists are really great subjects to do some really cool stuff.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It's a lot of trial and error. However, it's like digital photography if you don't like something, you can just delete it and do it over again! ;-)

I like both of these! Especially like to reflection / refraction in the cats and how the cats ended up nicely lit. Also like #2 because of how it looks suspended above your hand. Nicely done!
Thanks Clicker, I really like the cats as well. Here is another of the cats with just the laser light. I think this is my favorite ...

I've seen a number of threads here on UHH regarding composites and digital painting. So I thought I'd share a bit of what I do with some of my photos.
These examples use a bit of everything: compositing, layer masks, digital painting (without using filters) and even turning day shot into night shot for a more dramatic effect. Compositing is not only done by layering many separate photos together, but also many different color layers. For instance, the hockey art I just recently completed for a client here in Nashville. It's of the Predators' goalie Pekka Rinne that he wanted as a 3'x5' flag. The original photo is one of my favorites, but it's actually of Anders Lindback. So with some compositing of photos I have of Pekka, a bunch of digital painting and 38 layers later came the finished piece.
The second one is of our buddy Ty Bates[.com] he might just be the next big country act! Anyway, the out of camera shot (left) was taken a couple of weeks ago just outside the studio a boring shot. But it's the finished product we were after. Lots of layer masks and a little digital painting.
The final shot was taken during a quick break of a music video we were working on last year. The lighting wasn't great, but the girls makeup was awesome. It was from makeup artist Laura Godwin who does the makeup for the hit show Nashville. In order to do the girls justice I needed to turn this from day to night and get that dramatic effect which I think is certainly more pleasing then the out of camera shot.
I hope you like.

Here are a couple of my light painting shots. The first one is with two light sources.

Just to be clear. You responded to Cdouthitt's message of his quote for $375 USD on his job of the triplet 2-20x30 & 1-40x30. Your quote was $550 USD for a 93(+/-)x40 wrapped but without shipping.
To save $$, I could print it, roll it and let you have it stretched by someone local. That 93ish size will kill you on freight. Is this method of interest to you? Regardless, for something this size I will send you a sample print so you can verify the correct color etc.

It is of interest and shipping just canvas would be best. Like I said, I still have work to finish on it. I could actually stretch it myself.

Hope you end up a happy camper. The best I can do is 375 USD shipping included. Let me know how it turns out.
That's a great price for that size as well. I still have about another 60 days or so worth of work to do on it. Do you have a website link/contact info?

Since it's completely digital, I can get it to 40 inches, no problem. I was unfamiliar with the PhotoTex, so I checked it out. It sounds very cool and I may have applications for it.

Is this going to be a wrapped canvas? I just did a 40 x 96 on Phototex, for 175.00.
It is.

I did post a quote on page 2 of this thread but to reiterate, $500 USD including shipping. This is for the 2 - 24x36 and 1 - 36x48. They may be wrapped, mirrored or solid color sides. The OP does show a wrap configuration. Taxes and or duty, if applicable, is beyond my scope.
I'm talking about a print I am working on that is 97x42.

The only downside is shipping cost...Luckily I have a relative 20 miles from their shop (free local pickup). I'm going to send a couple prints to her (which I've been meaning to do) and have her give her honest feedback to me.
There is another downsize, they don't do custom sizes. I have a digital painting I have been working on for almost a year and it's 97"x42". No matter, I can work around custom sizes with a buddy of mine who has his own printer (he just charges more).
