@DennisG well, thank you, Dennis! I´m glad you like it!
G'day *Lorena*!
I don't really care what you did or how you did it because I am just in awe of the result. Viewing this excellent example of digital art has been a delight.
Wonderful, wonderful work and a Favourite.

@Colleen I actually enjoy doing this. If I´d know even more about photoshop, I´d stay there with an image for as long as it would take to make it look nice. :) And afterwards, there´d be a lot of time left for more pictures. Thanks for your comment!

This is AWESOME! You are so talented and patient. For me to do this I would get bored because of all the work. Fantasies of going out and doing more pictures would be running through my mind.

@Jittoku I totally understand it and after putting myself down, I take myself up again and get over it fast. It´s just that moment when I realize it. Even if I double the layer with the efect, the result doesn´t change much. In an overlay mode, dark base colors are darkened and light base colors will be lighter. In very dark areas the effect dissapears and that´s why it wouldn´t be a good idea to double it . Maybe a normal blending mode with some masking would do better. :) I´ll try it soon, and let you know

@PhotoLore
Don't put yourself down. It IS a "crazy awesome", and as Luc said, very creative.

I don't do digital art, so I'm not sure if this would do the trick, but try doubling-up on those layers and masking / hand feathering the extra into just those spots that need beefing up. I'd also suggest posting this into a more advanced digital art forum for 'real' expert advice :)

@ViewsOfParadise thank you, Sean. Actually, there are two photos the one in the upper-left corner, of the "unidentified" girl, and the other one is just my portrait. The rest is built around them :)

This is a very interesting photo. Definitely different. Curious as to how many photo went together to compose this one?

@Jittoku I think the lines were, indeed, supposed to be all of the same color, but of course, it´s because of the blending modes. If I would have used solid color it might have been way harder to get the same effect.

You know, I think this is one of my defects. I create something like this, and I´m still learning. And instead of looking at the small details, I´m too happy about my crazy new awesome(i find them that way sometimes, but it goes in time) creation that I find them good and upload them here, or somewhere else. And when someone comes and looks at them, comment and say that, i´m like : Damn it, it happened again. :) I´ll definitely have to change that about me. Thanks again for your comment!

cool pic

cool pic
@PhotoLore : "It´s that what you wanted to ask?"
Yup ... pretty much ... plus a whole lot more ;)
I was just wondering if those blue reflections were painted in (as you said), or taken from another image (i.e. source). That's all ...

I didn't realize that it was YOU in the pic ... I'm often not so observant in matters pertaining directly to actual reality ... and who would have ever thought that a running suit could look so H-O-T ?

Really, I think you did such a great job on this.
I imagine it must have been good fun :)

I DO have one observation, though ... about the 'box' surrounding the text, where it overlaps your forearm. This is supposed to be looking through the monitor, so shouldn't that line be stronger there? I don't think it should be as strong as the box surrounding the inset image @ top-left, but somewhere in-between perhaps?

I'm thinking similarly about the blue line across the bottom ... especially where it's looking like it's passing THROUGH your liver, instead of in front of it? ;)

I'm working on the assumption that the light being emitted from the monitor would look brighter in contrast to a dark background, and more washed out in contrast to a brighter background ... but allot of that seems reversed here (e.g. the very bright bottom line on the box surrounding the text, near your elbow). I understand that the 'why' of it here probably owes to the layer blending mode ... so ... I'm just offering food for thought & future experimentation.

How about a scene from Frank Herbert's "Dune" for your next project? ;)

@Jittoku forgot to say. Yes. Blue reflections, overlay or multiply mode. Can´t really remember, but one of those

@Jittoku thank you! and I freakin´ L-O-V-E your comment!

I don´t know what the "source" should be. i just painted around the background, then blurred it a bit... and afterwards started adding things to it. Myself (in black), made the hands black, added the lights, then the second image is also mine... then added text and numbers to make it more futuristic, turned them around to look as if they are on the other side, then added a straight thick line on the lower side, wrapped it to make it look biger, then added some vertical lines on it, and for the reflections, i created thin vertical lines in 2 layers, one of them blurred, the other one normal blend, then wrap them again to make them look a bit "circular" if I can say so.. :) It´s that what you wanted to ask?

OMG!!!
I freakin' L-O-V-E this !!! :)

I assume the reflections are an overlay?
What did you use for the source?

Bravo!
