I've created another fun digital scene using a variety of late 18th Century French Fashion Plates from the time of Marie Antoinette in a Rococo style room. This time I've incorporated two of my "framed scenes" with a great blue room background and a nice variety of fashion figures from previous posts to finish off the piece. Digital scene using late 18th Century French Fashion plates and other items. I've created an assortment of these characters in various color combinations to use in my digital art. I have included those along with the background room and frame for you crafting pleasure. Enjoy! The Background The base for the background "Blue Room" comes from a vintage paper theater backdrop from the 1880's which I digitized and extensively reworked to create the background for my final scene. EKDuncan altered version of a vintage paper theater background complete with floor and wall art. I used Photoshop to take the original and very "flat" looking image and turning it into this lovely room you see above. The time consuming process involved a variety of optical illusions to "raise" the paneling on the walls and doors, create more dimension at the area behind the curtain and above with the ceiling molding. I then added in a marble floor and "hung" a few of my digital artpieces on the walls for some added interest. I do believe the time and effort was well worth it in the end. This is what the original 1880's background looked like before I made my alterations in Photoshop This Rococo style room was the right type of backdrop for these fashions from the time of Marie Antoinette; however I wanted it to have more depth and set to making several adjustments to it digitally. I believe my final version achieved that goal when you compare this original version to my adjusted version that is pictured above it. The Wall Art These are the images I used as the wall art in the final scene.

My Rococo Room creation with 18th Century Fashionable Figures One of my favorite things about this series of vintage fashion plates I've been posting about for the past few months; is the great assortment of poses they were created in. I think a variety of poses in a scene helps to create interest and the illusion motion. I especially like the lady that appears to be walking into the next room. She adds so much to this piece as she appears to gracefully glide through the scene and keeps your eye moving to the right along with her. I'll be back with more fashions for the time of Marie Antoinette a bit later on. Till next time...
