This is made from a photo I took of an entertainer who performed a one man show in a restaurant. He started being Elvis, and I don't know how the show ended, because we left the place before it was over. This guy was pretty clever, but I must admit I don't remember which epoch this one represented. I made a black backdrop, cropped a bit off on the right side, added thick frames to create more space, painted it all over with an opaque blue (except from the face), lightened some areas in his outfit, adjusted threshold, boosted, added a slight circle splash and made a foggy vignette. At the bottom I brought this fog a bit further. I have added the lightening bolt, put a mask on the face, added the scull and the spider. I probably have done even more than described, but it is difficult to remember everything. All this turned him into The Prince of Darkness. A creature that owns the night. The original photo was taken hand held, and I used a flash. I have not put in any specs, because they give no sense after all the adjustments.
