For my self portrait I began with this forest for my background, and found that a tank looked nice in that open space in front. I added some bloom effects to the forest itself to get that white glow behind. From there i added filters and overlays and shadows to make the tank look less “pasted on”. I feel this was pretty successful, I also added a fitting plane in the background, using the same overlays and filters, as well as experimented with the flame tool make it look like it was shot down. The star on the left was some experimenting with the blending options tool that I decided to leave in. On my face I used some filters as well as added a comical flame crown.
