Assorted gods (layered)

[Didache]

Hi all

On my travels to different countries I tend to pick up statuettes of the gods (Greek, Egyptian, Roman, Indian, and so on). Makes a nice mantlepiece display.

Anyway, while I am on my layering kick, I thought I would photograph a few of them. The layering is relatively simple compared to the ones I've posted lately.

As far as I can tell, the texts are real to the gods portrayed.

Cheers

Man, one of these days I have to learn layering way better than I know how now.
These are all very well done, Mike. Really like the backgrounds.
Thanks for sharing.....gives me a bit of inspiration if my ADD doesn't get in the way.

I would love to see the type smaller. Right now it competes with the images and I barely even look at the statues.

Love the overall effect though.

great work Mike, layering is high on my 'to explore list' and one of these days.......

Very cool!

Thanks all for having a look.

opus - actually I agree with you on reflection. I was overly concerned with readability, particularly with an online version. I have reduced the font size considerably and replaced it with a more interesting one called, appropriately enough, 'papyrus'.

You can see the reworked versions at the bottom of:

Opus hit the nail on the head regarding font size. With that sorted these should look great.
Another nice idea Mike.

I like the the new versions much better. With the change of fonts and not having the lettering as dark I think it really adds to the look. Great job, Jeff :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

FABULOUS! Now the pieces look more like official museum displays. As a former typesetter, as soon as you said "Papyrus" I knew you'd nailed the font as well.
