Rocketman montages

--

--

Over the last few years, my friends and I have run quite a few table-top wargames featuring a 1930's pulp style hero, known as Rocketman. For some of these campaigns, I put together a few quick montages to add flavour. Most of the images came straight from Google, but every so often I'd throw in one of my old rust photographs. Due to the constraints of time and family, not all the Rocketman campaigns had such illustrations, but I'd like to do more of them for any future games we play.

Gamma world 1

Yet another planet experiment. This one was done on an iMac at Proremus (which I've never used a Mac since I was at LJMU in 1996). Not sure why they get so much love, except maybe people are just used to them. I prefer my PC, but I'm used to it.

Asteroid field

A bit of everything in this one. Most of the asteroids are real (photo's courtesy of NASA) and the gas giant is painted. This is a WIP compressed version so the planet looks a bit flatter and the stars have all disapeared...

Planetfall

This is a montage I've been playing with on my CS3 course. Image incorporates Mars, Saturn, Iapetus and Earth's clouds ...I'm not happy about the horizon.

Creatura

More fun 'n games with photoshop. This one has no purpose. Its just messing about with layers.

The latest attempt...

...and a 'steam moif', just for giggles. I thought of using it as my av, but then I found a better one

This is the main page background image in its entirety. I made it in Photoshop. The girl is from an illustration by Benjamin Carre (thanks Cyan). Click for a larger view.
