Doctor Who: 20 Genius DeviantART Creations You Need In Your Life

8. Dr Who Arriving TARDIS

By: Karsciyin Some people speak about photo-shopped pictures as being simple to do. Well, maybe the software does help there, but rigging something up in Photoshop or GIMP is actually all about telling a good lie. It turns out that some are better at fibbing than others. What do I mean by that? A standard, clumsy fault found in too many pieces, professional ones included, is where the light on the object that's been added to the scene is inappropriate for the setting. Perhaps it's a shadow in the wrong place, or rendered with the wrong intensity. Sometimes it's that the effect is jarringly staged and the 'lie' the artist is trying to tell us, the viewers, ceases to convince. This picture has a truthful, slightly imperfect focus and the arriving TARDIS is rendered with transparency to just the right degree to make it match. It really does seem to materialise in a gloomy, suburban lane. If it has one minor fault then it's that a suddenly arriving TARDIS would claim centre shot, because of the surprise value. But hey, great picture nevertheless.
