peacekeeping force

my get-pushed challenge from De @degarvey was OXYMORON

I've always fancied doing a Banksy, so here is my virtual graffiti illustrating the oxymoron Peacekeeping Force.

Its not perfect, but it kinda looks like its really painted on there.I didn't know how to give the layer perspective, can anyone tell me?

...the dove is supposed to be carrying a bomb in case you can't make it out. Defacing the side of the oldest industrial building in Greymouth, Dispatch and Garlick.

I like it! I would've thought it was painted there. The way part of it is faded and you can see the brick coming through... Nice job!

@jenniferrebekahsands thankyou, yes that aspect of it worked quite well, I used the find edges and magic wand tools and also reduced opacity to do that.

Interesting way of illustrating an oxymoron! Love how the texture works with the illustration.

@degarvey do you know of Banksy and his graffiti art? it is a lot about oxymorons! look him up if you don't, I think it's very clever stuff.

I knew you were an art scholar ....very clever.
I think the perspective is great....had you needed to change it.....maybe transform and play with skew and perspective, assuming u have photoshop. Then also maybe duplicated layer with an overlay blending option at a lessened opacity?

Hope that made sense

Ah yes , it was the skew/ transform bit I could have used, I think thanks @gigiz

Oh wow! I thought it was on the wall! What processing program did you use to do it!? Amazing!

@espyetta photoshop, its great to have, but I am still learning, lucklily I have a teenager who loves to learn it too and can teach me things :)
