Extreme Weather Edits

First ever attempt at a weather edit.
How did I do? What could I improve?

Not bad! The rain looks realistic! 👍

Don't forget about the spray coming off the tires, though.

What would be the best way to do this? Anyone.

That depends. What editor do you use?

Gimp

What I would do is make a new layer, take a fuzzy brush and go around the tires and a little bit behind with a light grey, add a fair bit of noise to it but not overwhelming, and then add directional blur to match the direction of the road. Last step is lower the opacity to about 90-95%.

My first attempt at doing a rain edit! It may not be as good as some of the other pieces of work in this thread,
but at least I gave it a good go.

Version 2:
I took in the feedback that leeislee gave and decided to make some tweaks to the image.

For a 1st one it's very nice I think

Brilliant. you've avoided the mistake of adding a blanket sheet of rain. When a car is moving of even when a person is walking you don't really see a sheet of rain, you see a bit of it and the rest is almost invisible unless it's a complete torrential rain storm!

Well done.

 

[leeislee]

don't forget everyone, rain never falls 100% in one direction. slight variation in rain angle and transparency will add more realism to your rain edits....oh, and desaturate the colours abit too!

Great work in this thread though...some really good work going on!

An older one of mine, and expect more soon!

A very modest (and silly, IMO) effort (But it took me quite some time, because I'm a n00b)

@G.T Ace : Nice edit man! But the droplets could be better IMO

 

[G.T.Ace]

You need to be a bit more precise than that.

The color correction etc. is nice, but the rain doesn't look too good.
You should try to use a brush with a drop shape and draw the rain manually.
For example like this: http://www.psdvault.com/abstracts/create-realistic-rain-drop-via-brush-tool-in-photoshop/

Also, if you have such a wet road and strong rain, you would see water sputtering from the road and car. I know that's hard to add though and a lot of work to get it right.

I did that brush stuff manually yep. Maybe if i have done it in a larger scale would look better. I'll try to do that.

Water sputtering its a nice idea I will try to add those. Thanks for your comment and suggestion.

Incredible. How you do that?

 

[G.T.Ace]

Thanks.

With magic. I might do a video tutorial soon. I'm just not sure if this wouldn't be kinda pathetic considering how many better artists are out there.
