Rococo: First I used a layer mask to isolate my self from my original background.

Rococo: Here I start to edit my skin, adding the local color with a color blend mode, highlights with a soft light blend mode, and shadows with a multiply blend mode. These older painting tend to have a green hue, so I added a green fill with a darker color blend mode.

Rococo: Here I add an oil color filter.

Rococo: Starting to deep the shadows. The Rococo style focuses on pastels and desaturated colors, so I added a gray in lighten blend mode throughout the composition.

Rococo: I am starting to focus in on the details of the face, such as the blush and lips. I want my complexion to be rosy.

Rococo: Adding detail to the hair with individual brushes. I am using many different layers with different blend modes to get the effect I wanted. Out of all of the styles I chose, Rococo seems to have the most focus on the hair.

Rococo: I added a brightness and contrast adjuster, as my layers were not meshing together well before. This really helped to emulate the pale and desaturated skin colors .

Rococo: Finished with canvas and oil paint filters and a background of pastel greenery. 

Rococo: Finished Result

Vaporwave: Started by masking my figure and adding gradient maps. I ended up layering three different gradient maps. There was not a strong reason for doing this, other than to reach an effect that I liked.

Vaporwave: In vaporwave, linear and graphic lines and shapes are a large part of the imagery. I perspective warped these gradients and grids to emulate this.

Vaporwave: The shpere in the background is used as a focal point for the face. Vaporwave art uses the sunset and horizon motif throughout.

Vaporwave: The final element was these multiplying masks that filled in with gradients. These masks add a motion in the composition that is prevalent in the vaporwave style.

Vaporwave: Final Result

Baroque: Started by isolating the subject with a layer mask.

Baroque: Added base skin and hair tones with overlay and color blending modes.

Baroque: Baroque art is all about the dramatic lighting. Here I deepened the shadows with brown and blue multiply layers.

Baroque: I really wanted to make the skin glow with the lighting. I added yellow tones to the skin to achieve this. I also added a blush tone, both in the cheeks and in the places that the highlights met the shadow. This really helped to sell the lighting.

Baroque: Light blue shadows added dimension to the skin.

Baroque: A red overlay layer helped to deepen and add richness to the colors.

Baroque: Add a gradient to the background to help simulate the direction of the light. Many of the baroque paintings have dark backgrounds.  Also added lighting to the shirt

Baroque: Used a subtract blending mode to help blend the hair into the background. Added a canvas filter to the painting. After looking at the image on a different monitor, I added a brightness/contrast adjustment layer.

Baroque: Final Result

Post-Apocalyptic: Isolated the figure and added local colors, shadows, and highlights to the skin, as well as the hair. With this style I wanted it to look discolored, if it had been out in the sun too long.

Post-Apocalyptic: Added a dark teal multiply layer throughout to create a worn out atmosphere

Post-Apocalyptic: Added highlights of a light blue light source, like the sky.

Post-Apocalyptic:  Added the shirt color with a soft light blend mode.

Post-Apocalyptic:  Added white and black texture.

Post-Apocalyptic: Added adjustment layers. 

Post-Apocalyptic: Added a layer of a solid color, in which I used the dodge and burn tools. This achieved the worn out, over exposed look I was after.

Post-Apocalyptic: Added a grain filter

Post-Apocalyptic: Final result

Daguerreotype: For the above an beyond component of the project, I chose the daguerreotype style. I started by isolating the figure.

Daguerreotype: I used the dodge and burn tools to push the lights and the darks.

Daguerreotype: I used a color blending mode to yellow the image slightly

Daguerreotype: I added filters diffuse glow and conte crayon. These filters really helped to soften the lighting within the photos.

Daguerreotype: I finished by adding discoloration and scratches to make the image feel older and worn out. I used a couple different blending modes on these layers to make in imperfections feel lived in.

Daguerreotype: Final Result
