Hope you’re having a lovely weekend!
Here we are on day 5 of our graphic challenge.
Today’s image of Richard Armitage as Lucas North comes to us from Ania, who has a blog of her own: zRYSIOwana. Ania writes in both Polish and English so if you speak either of those languages, you’re in luck! Right now, she’s running a poll on which chaRActer looks best in leather. 😉
Here is today’s base image:
Here is your graphic:
Secret Forces
Ania suggested the song “Anything” by Edyta Górniak with the chorus “I would do anything for you anything anything.” This song got me thinking about how Lucas North would do anything, including putting his life on the line, for his country. From there, my mind thought of secrets, top secret and finally “secret forces” because Lucas definitely has power over me, LOL!
For this graphic, I didn’t cut out Lucas but I definitely removed Sarah. Then I created frosted glass on a new layer above Lucas by using the Filter > Distort > Glass command in Photoshop. I applied the Divide blend mode to get it bright and semi-transparent.
Finally, the text “Secret Forces” was written in the Destroy font.
Have a great Saturday and I’ll see you tomorrow! 😀
bccmee's Richard Armitage Vids & Graphics 
Absolutely lovely!
Bcc, you are an artist!!! Very beautiful result!!!
Wow, you heightened the beauty of his eyes…sigh.♡
Thanks for sharing!
This turned out awesome.
This is a goooooood one – picture & caption match perfectly. And I bet it was fun “removing” Sarah too! 😉
I love this! Good idea to remove Sarah!
My first thought was, “Oh, the cap looks so much better with Sarah out of the picture!!” Then I scrolled down and saw your comment about definitely removing Sarah. lmao
I like the frosted glass. And Lucas….such a lovely man. Well done, bcc. Thank you, Ania, for the screencap. 🙂
Thank you for removing Sarah!!! Good choice, Ania!
Lovely graphic! Thank you! YAY, no Sarah!c
RA has such an expressive face and you’ve accentuated it so well. Gorgeous! 🙂
Did someone say Lucas? Beautiful graphic, I love his eyes and eyelashes in that pic. Great work Bccmee and great selection and music Ania.
Sarah? Sarah who?
You’re right. Sarah who ??? lol
Fine artwork! Lucas North is always welcome! I also like the expression of his face in this picture!
Graphics on Saturday? I love it!
Erase the b****? Excellent idea LOL!
Yes, earase “Sarah who ?” is a great idea ! lol
This is truly beautiful and you have managed to enhanced the expression there. That look of his, the stubble, the eyes and eyelashes, plus what you did with it all – stunning!!
OMG! This gaze….♥
Nice work as usual!
I agree Fred. It makes me swoon… 🙂
Thanks for you choice of pic, Ania! B, you did a lovely job. The bg is perfect!
MMmmmm!!! Very nice
Bccmee, you definitely get the best out of the pictures! When I first saw the picture, I thought – what a hard nut to crack. What a wonderful creation! Thank you bccmee and zRYSIOwana!
As the others have commented, this picture looks infinitely better without Sarah “Worst Kisser in the World” Caulfield! I think she’s a closet lesbian btw. 🙂 Thank you for yet another fantastic photo manip, bcc! 🙂
I haven’t commented every day, or I’ll run out of superlatives by the end of the month…..but this is stunning! Deleting Caulfield…..excellent! Like the font as well!
I’m following your “blueprints” every day to improve my “shopping” skills!. So this is educational too! 😉
Double thanks Bee!
OMG! I absolutely love what you did with this picture.:) And I admit, I love this picture because his eyes are so deeply azure. * thud* And today’s graphics is so gorgeous.♥ Thank you Bccmee!!!
And thank you very much for the mention about my blog and for your support. *Hugs*
@Ania: Thank you again for your screencap and song choices! I’m delighted you enjoyed our graphic collaboration. 😀
Unusual but wonderful picture to choose Ania.:)
Yes, yet again you’ve done amazing things bccmee. 😀 Wow! and double Wow! Repeating what others have already said but must say getting rid of “thingy” was the best way to go and you really have accentuated those baby blue eyes. *swoon*♥
Thank you. Now wondering if you’re imagination knows any bounds. 🙂
*your imagination. Sorry, tiredness and all that. 😉
You make Lucas look gooooood, B! *swoon*
Hi Bccmee and Ania,
Great image choice and manipulation. I think you made Lucas’/Richard Armitage’s eyes an even more translucent blue. Sighhhh!
Cheers! Grati ;->
P.S. Thanks also for the link to Ania’s blog. I’ve subscriped and listed her in my sidebar of RA related blogs.
@Everyone: Lucas does have the most amazing eyes. And face. And gaze. And stubble. *sigh* I’m somehow not surprised that the removal of Sarah was met with approval, LOL!
Thank you again for your thoughtful and entertaining comments! 😀
Nice choice of pic Ania and bravo Bccmee for this great graphic ! 🙂
