Taking a brief break from abstracts and decided to do some musicians. These are created using a few different software filters and manipulations, along layers of ArtRage painted brush strokes. I typically import the base image and then put 3 layers on top. One is at 100% opacity, the next at 40% and the last at 15%. Brush strokes done on the 100% layer cover completely, the 40% are semi transparent and the 15% acts as a light wash.
