Sunday go to meetin clothes

[Doc Arroyo]

The missus decided she needed a new photo of me, and I thought you might like to see the kit. Of course the Fort is my second home, na the main building and the wagon makes for a better background then the big galloot in the foreground. :winking:

Doc Arroyo,
Really like the coat! What is it constructed of? Did you make it yourself?
Best Wishes

 

[Doc Arroyo]

Yep, I did make the coat. Started with a number of braintan deer hides, picked up the scissors and took a deep breath. Dang that first cut is hard to make! :haha:

 

[Maestro]

Doc - very nice! :thumbsup:

Hey Doc, here's my impression of your photo with an antique look.

Nice outfit BTW

The sepia tint does it justice.

 

[rj55]

Yes I start with the sepia and then adjust the color to how I think it should look and then make a cutout of the hole photo with a jagged edge and past it right over the original. I then darken the cutout and set the edge to be a little transparent. I then adjust the transparent on the hole cutout until I get the full effect I am looking for. Its a lot of fun.

Doc.....I like the threads!! You obviously did your homework!

Just out of curiosity, what impression/persona are you doing?

Judging from the adobe structures in the background, I would say 1850's Southwest......am I close?

Thanks all for the comments and the photoshop work too!

I am a volunteer at Sutter's Fort State Park in Sacramento. We interpet the fort in 1846. I am a bit of a roustabout with the fork. Hunter, trapper, carpenter and as of late, gunsmith. If'n your in the neighborhood, give us a shout. There be more than a few of us fort folks on this wire! :hatsoff:
