Spiderman: Far From Home is coming soon. I’m really excited about it having seen the trailer and as you know I have the Lego Set<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My idea for todays shot was a battle scene between Spiderman, Mysterio and Molten Man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Setup\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As you can see I had to use some stands to pose the heroes. If you really want to know Mysterio is on a mast from the Destiny’s Bounty <\/a>and Spiderman is on the log from the Lego city Forest Tractor<\/a>. The background is the Sanctum Sanctorum<\/a>, my favourite Avengers Lego set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My camera was setup on a tripod ready to take the shot. As always I took quite a few with various adjustments for the positions of the mini-figures to make them appear to be in battle with Molten Man. I decided on this image to edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"1<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Photoshop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you’d expect, I first had to remove the stand and my hand. The clone stamp tool was all I needed, and a little time. This was more complicated than normal and needed a lot of zooming in and making sure I adjusted the selection to clone. The hardest part was the building so I could maintain the shadows but it was well worth the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, you’ve read my previous post on Molten Man<\/a> so you’ll know how I used the pattern fill. In any case I used it again to remove the table top and replace it wis rocks with an increased size. I used various shades of orange on a new layer in screen blend to create the lava effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top of the image is white so I added a sky and used a layer mask to make sure it only appeared to be above the sanctum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"3<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I used a colour dodge layer for Molten Man, Mysterio and Spiderman’s eyes and his web. Spiderman is in his Stealth suit but I really wanted his eyes to stand out. I also felt I needed to use a colour burn (darken layer) to darken Spiderman’s suit. I had a very low opacity for this layer. This also made the eyes stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"4<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mysterio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mysterio was a prime target for effects in this image. I added a smoke layer to his mask on a low opacity. Next was to put smoke out of his hands. To create the glow I added a new layer of various colours of green. This was set to screen blend mode. Finally I added some fog behind him to finish off the affect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"5<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My final adjustments were to add some sparks to the image. I used a layer mask to remove the sparks from Mysterio and Spiderman. I reduced the brightness of the image and added some flames to the building. It is a battle after all. I reduced the brightness of the sky using a new layer and a clipping mask so it only affected the sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, looking at the image I decided to crop in closer and that ended up removing the sky. I still think it was worth adding the sky – even though I didn’t ultimately use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I exported the final image from Lightroom I added a little vibrance. That was enough to finish the image. I hope you like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
