I decided to have a bit of fun and create PNGs of some of the previously posted
(These are from the time of Marie Antoinette c 1780's)
aka Georgian England & Colonial American Period.
If you are like me you never know what color combination you might need for a project and since I know some of you do not have an editing program that allows you to alter colors; I've created an assortment of options for your crafting pleasure.
Enjoy!
A fun little digital artscene I created using one of the fashion plates and an EKD created background. |
PNGs are a quick and easy way to create digital scenes like the one above.
I find it useful to create an assortment of colors at the time I turn an image
into a png so I have a variety to choose from later on.
The background was created using photographs of a cobblestone street and an old stone staircase.
Via the magic of Photoshop - several filters and texture layers were used to create a ghost like background for my dapper gent.
This is the original Fashion plate for the above gentleman
The original 1779 fashion plate I started with |
Here are the PNGs of the above image.
I created in a variety of color combinations for the giggles of it.

I used this blue version to create the scene at the top of the post

Next up is this dashing gent from the back view.
I like to have images in a variety poses and love the fact that some of these
old fashion plates give us side or back views.

I wonder if this gent had these great calves
or if this was a case of fashionable padding at work?
(It was not uncommon during this time period and into the Regency for men to
use inserts in their stocking to give the appearance of shapely calves.)

This Next one reminds me of Paul Revere and has that Colonial American
look, even though it is a French Fashion Plate.

You can see a few more men's fashion PNGs from this series
I enjoy seeing what color combos I can create in Photoshop
and how it changes the look of a character; so I hope you do too.
Next time I'll bring you more ladies fashions from the time of Marie Antoinette.
I still have several batches to go and then I'll wrap it up with a fun new project
with a very practical 21st century application.
till next time...

Many thanks!

Thanks Sylvie - I figured the Lady PNGs I've created should have a nice assortment of potential male escorts (grins). I had a lot of fun creating all these color combinations and am glad you like them too.
