Alright, let me tell you about this whole Karrion Kross and Scarlett wedding thing I was playing around with. So, it started with me just scrolling through some wrestling news, you know, keeping up with the usual drama and storylines. Then I stumbled upon some photos from their actual wedding. I thought, “Hey, that looks pretty cool, maybe I can try to recreate something like that.”
First things first, I gathered a bunch of reference images. I’m talking about professional photos from the wedding, some fan captures, anything I could find that gave me a good look at the venue, their outfits, the overall vibe. I wanted to nail the atmosphere, get that dark, romantic, almost gothic feel they were going for.
Next up, I started sketching out some ideas. I knew I couldn’t do a direct replica, that’s not really my style. I wanted to put my own spin on it. So, I played around with different compositions, focusing on Kross and Scarlett themselves, their poses, and how they interacted with each other. I wanted to capture their intensity and connection.
Then came the fun part: actually building the scene. I used a mix of digital painting software and some photo manipulation techniques. I started with the background, trying to mimic the dimly lit, castle-like setting of their wedding. Lots of dark reds, deep blues, and smoky grays. I spent hours just tweaking the lighting to get it right.
For Kross and Scarlett, I used existing images and repainted them, adding details, shadows, and highlights to make them pop. I paid close attention to their expressions, trying to convey the emotion of the moment. Scarlett’s dress was a challenge, all that lace and intricate detail. I had to break it down into smaller parts and build it up layer by layer.
After that, it was all about the little details. Adding candles, roses, some gothic-style decorations. I even threw in a few symbolic elements, like a raven or two, to add to the dark and mysterious atmosphere.
Finally, I spent a good chunk of time color correcting and adding some finishing touches. A little bit of grain, some subtle blurring, and a vignette to draw the viewer’s eye to the center of the image. I wanted it to feel like a dream, something both beautiful and slightly unsettling.
Honestly, it was a lot of work, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It’s not a perfect recreation, but it captures the essence of Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s wedding, at least in my own weird way. And that’s what matters, right?
