Cosmic Creations "REBIRTH" | MOONCHILD
Today, I learned something new in editing using Adobe Photoshop. I explored how to make objects glow and emit light. Taking small steps, I started experimenting and applying these techniques to my artwork.
I have been wanting to make an artwork in this style, Light in the Dark, for a long time. But it's only now that I've started to learn some of these things. In this new year, I will try to explore things that I have never tried before.
This marks my first participation in Cosmic Creations, hosted by Alien Art Hive. For this challenge themed "REBIRTH," I created a story about a moonchild.
A new life is born from the core of the planet when the golden moon appears. This golden moon only emerges once every 280 years in a single night. When the full moon appears, the figure of the moon child is born alongside its small moon.
The creation process began with cutting out all the main objects using the Pen Tool. Although this is just the beginning, honestly, it's a process I find challenging because it requires patience to select points one by one to achieve a smooth result.
After the cutting process, the next step was placing the objects in their respective positions, a field of flowers in the background, the moon, and a mannequin in the foreground.
At this stage, I learned how to create a glowing effect on an object. Using the blur filter, I could make the moon shine. First, I duplicated the object to be affected, then changed the effect on the layer to "screen" to make the object brighter and slightly transparent. I applied a blur effect to make it look like it's glowing. I also implemented this process on the mannequin object with white-colored light.
To achieve the best result, I reduced the exposure to make the surrounding atmosphere darker, allowing the objects with the light effect to shine brighter.
Next, I added a bit of light effect to the small moon and the moon in the background using the brush tool and made slight adjustments to the previously applied exposure.
With a touch of mist effect, my artwork for this challenge is finally complete.
It's really beautiful what you did, it's just beautiful. You achieved that shiny effect very well. I've seen a few drawings but yours is really my favorite. Excellent work, greetings!
Thank you so much for your lovely words! I really appreciate it. I love drawing, but I'm not very good at it,😅 so I try maximize what I can with my collage art.
Thanks for stopping by, have a nice day!
Amazing achieve glowing the art.
Great job
Thank you so much!
Nice compilation @bayuismail. I love the colors you chose, especially for the moon. I love removing the background of landscapes and inserting another, more dramatic one to achieve a compelling scene. Nicely done for the "Rebirth" theme.
Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a good rest of your weekend.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the compilation, especially the colors. I completely agree, playing with backgrounds to create a more dramatic scene is a fascinating part of the process.
Your appreciation means a lot. I hope you have a fantastic weekend too! Take care and stay creative!
I've started adding different background to see the effect if the foregoing image is not that busy.
"Stay creative"...that the goal @bayuismail. Sometimes I miss the mark, but...
Take care.
