Nature provides great inspiration for digital art, and water is one of the most visually impressive aspects of nature. Many photo manipulators choose to work with water as it’s fluidity, opacity and reaction to light are all great foundations of art. Water also brings with it tremendous energy. The splashes, waterfalls and flows offer a wonderful basis for exciting compositions.
Today we’ve compiled a range of different photo manipulations featuring water. Not only do they show some epic Photoshop skills, but they show the diversity of the subject matter. The manipulations of water range from warping water into flames, structures, mushroom clouds, wings, animals and other objects. So much inspiration is waiting, so dive on in.
