Creating a Monster Hunt in Photoshop | Photo Manipulation Speed Art

In this video, I created a Monster Hunt #Photoshop composition inspired by Stranger Things. I was hoping to create a horror art for quite some time and I felt about mixing some action into it. I drew many elements from Stranger Things - like a Demogorgon coming out from a creepy portal, but I decided to swap the kids with some veteran marines. The composition will heavily revolve around creating highlights from various light sources and adding atmospheric effects to convey the ominous feeling.
I hope you like the artwork and please let me know in the comments if you found the video helpful and learned something new. That way, I will know that my videos are coming off some use to you and will help me create better content in the future.

[@Encreate]

Much thanks!!

[@leedunning1825]

That is one of the coolest creations I've ever seen. I'd seen those critters on Envato and thought they were goofy, but by the time you finished working on them, they became terrifying. I just can't stop staring at the finished product. I'm going to be watching this video several times. Super inspiring.

[@Encreate]

Wow! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Very happy you like it! 😊 Yeah, specially the mouth of the critters are funny, but I guess it can be scary when put that way...

[@aniketadas6262]

I am just a Jabra Fan of Encreate. 😤🔥👍👍👍👍🥳🥳🥳

[@Encreate]

Haha! Thank you so much bhai!! 😁

[@Blion-o]

Better and better with every upload. If I could like it twice, it would.

[@Encreate]

Haha that is very kind of you! Thank you so much!

[@thatoneuser8600]

I love artwork that only have 1 clear focal point such as this one; their simplicity to the eyes make them far more memorable.

[@Encreate]

Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!

[@hazy_graphix]

Its Insane Man. Very Very Nice

[@Encreate]

So glad you like it!!

[@harshaavula1453]

[@Encreate]

Thank you so much!!

[@johnmaynardbersamina332]

as a graphic designer, not just you really do a sick composition but your layers!!! clean af!

[@Encreate]

Thank you so much bro!! I get lost in layers if I don't organize them :)

[@CamilleHalluin]

Holy wow the lighting is amazing! I'll need to watch that again in a slower speed. Really interesting how you use the curves for the highlights, I'll need to try that ! Stunning scene, I am speechless! 👏

[@Encreate]

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback my friend! 🤗 Really appreciate it! Yeah you should definitely try out curves...results are very realistic!

[@umerzafar]

I think Photoshop should have a lights feature where any lights placed will start interacting with other elements based on the direction and distance. I am mentioning this because of advance in AI technologies recently.

[@Encreate]

@@umerzafar Yes, maybe the AI tech they added in the neural filters might be able to bring this feature in the future - like how they introduced the AI-driven depth blur. Even if that's not perfect, maybe they create a basic foundation that can be modified manually.

[@umerzafar]

@@Encreate yes thats the true natural progression for the software

[@sandflakephotoshop1008]

Being a fan of this kind of perspective I can only love it, your best piece

[@Encreate]

Holy sh*t that looks great! I would maybe add some spent cartridges flying to the guns, would make the scene even more dramatic (and realistic of course :D) imo.

[@Encreate]

Thanks man! Yeah I had that in mind when I started the composition, but totally forgot it by the time it got finished...
