Photo Manupulation - Wayang

This is my 2nd, Off class attempt to do a photo manupulation.. This on is based on - 

A art called Wayang, a generic term denoting traditional theatre in Indonesia.

This would be my reference:

Using Illustrator to trace this piece manually above has a vector graphic, with a lil bit of my own ideas added on(colouring) & elemination of detailing inside. i also used Photoshop to blend other elements such as the backdrop, design, gradient coloruing to make up this scene of Wayang, with a lil bit of my own touch :) HERE It GOES :)

MY WORK:

Wayang - Photo Manupulation
