Creating a NEON SAMURAI in Photoshop - Speed Art
531,674
Published 2021-06-11
For this week's #photoshop #speedart, I wanted to focus on a character, a #samurai warrior who stands guard over futuristic dystopia of neon lights and dizzying heights. A piece like this is always a challenge as it requires a lot of detailed sculpting and blending techniques.

I love everything about this manipulation I just wish it was a guide runner
-
Amazing!
-
I would have loved to have seen how the finishing touches came together. Looks fantastic!
-
I just feel really inspired whenever I watch your arts
-
One thing I love is watching how you have an idea for your composition, decide it's not quite working, and change it. Great work as always.
-
I really liked this combination of samurai and futuristic style
-
You never fail to amaze me with your skills. What a masterpiece!
-
Amazing! I love how you get that beautiful glow from the soft Color dodge of the Neon Lights. And I'm always so impressed with your clothing manipulation, it always looks so natural when you do it... but it's definitely not as easy as you make it look! 😭
-
How cool to watch the creation of a masterpiece from ordinary photos.
-
Another neon thing from PhaseRunner! So satisfying to watch
-
Absolutely unreal my friend! The way you work is amazing to me.
-
Wow... The creativity is on another level... Was smilling like a mad person the whole process!! This is totally awesome!!
-
Waao that was so cool. I personally feel that catching fairies and magical hidden doorway still remains unmatched, they are on the whole new level. Btw what's your favourite among all your works and when is the QandA coming?
-
1:34 Why can't everybody do this? explain how they came about choosing and getting their stock images. that process alone is so so very important... thank you!
-
This is epic!!!! The concept, the technique and the final result is absolutely flawless!!! You are one of a kind
-
Got an envato subscription last month from here and it might just be the best purchase I’ve ever made
-
Magnifique ! bravo !!
-
Amazing as always mate. I love the fact that the final version of your art is sometimes different than the end of the speed video. It's good that you dont show every single step and sometimes keep the ending off the video because it adds to seeing the final piece.
-
This is wow. Your are the best editors. And ur my inspiration....
-
Epic. Those assets looking epic
