Grand Central, Catacomb


Gum Bichromate Catacomb

This is more of a painting than a photograph. Most of the figures of people were touched up with quick darkening brush strokes; and the entire lighting effect with the textured walls and various accents was added. Oh, here's the original shot. I have reached the point finally of being very comfortable with the tablet / pen. I wish it wasn't quite so smooth. I wonder if anyone has a tablet addition that gives you the feel of working on rough paper.

Anyway - when I first looked at this underexposed image of Grand Central - I immediately got the idea of trying to make it feel like a dark fungus-filled catacomb.
