Greetings and welcome to our blog! We are the Warren family, and here is where we will be chronicling the creation of our next epic family portrait. For the past 3 years, we have done some pretty awesome (if I do say so myself) themed family portraits. We craft our own costumes, create a digital background, do a photo shoot, and finally composite it all together in Photoshop.
So is this blog for you? To answer that, ask yourself these questions: Do you like cosplay? Are you into 3D/Digital art? Are you my mom? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re in the right place.
In the future I’ll be doing a blog post on each of these 3 portraits, including a breakdown of how they were created. But to establish our credentials, check out our previous work:
2014. The year of high fantasy. Dad (me) as the Warrior, Mom as the Rogue, Braxton as the Paladin, Ryder as the Black Mage, and Raegan as the White Mage. We guardians of the realm stand atop the fallen dragon. Our family motto blows in the breeze on our banner: Leo de Judah est robur nostrum. The Lion of Judah is our strength.
2015. My fellow nerds will notice the Robert’s Space Industries’ Constellation Andromeda in the background. We are a unit of elite space mercenaries. You see the looks on those kids faces? Best check yourself.
2016. Soguiiiiii!!!!!! Feudal Japan. Dad as the Samurai, Mom as the Monk, Braxton as the armored Samurai, Ryder as the Ninja, and Raegan as the Geisha. You’ve never seen 5 gaijin looking so bushido.
So now I think you will agree that these ain’t yo mamma’s family portraits. We now begin our 4th masterpiece. This year the theme is POST-APOCALYPTIC!!! Stay tuned for the making of my first piece, the hubcap shield.
