I felt it was time to introduce a villain. With our word this month being South I thought an officer from the Confederate Army was fitting. But the thumbnails just weren’t flowing well. They all felt static. I was having trouble finding something to get excited about. So, I decided to get a fresh start in Photoshop and begin again the way I would if it was something that had to be done in a hurry. Black and white, pushing shapes around until something starts to feel right. The image below on the left is the first thing to have that “right” feeling so I started to refine from there. I liked how the brim of his hat hid his face, making him more mysterious but with the front of his uniform so obscured by his right arm I felt it would be smarter to switch to a more recognizably civil war era hat.
