Description
This is actually a little, approximately 5 inch long toy antique stove my mom has which I was photographing for a still life asignment. However, it ocurred to me that it would be really cool if I could try ot make it look like a real stove. So, I pieced together a bunch of components from other pictures I had, adding a bit of fire, smoke coming out the top, a stew and some eggs cooking on the stovetop, and steam coming off the food. Overall, I really like how it turned out. In the full-size version, its great because you can zoom WAY in on the food and it still looks realistic

This components are put together very well. The framing/cropping & background makes it look like a miniature but at the same time it still looks real. I can even see the glow of the fire.

Wow, this is indeed a well done photo-manipulation. Everything blends in so well. The overall color scheme and lighting creates this antique-feel or something.

This one's my favorite! Really neat! Love the idea and it looks so real! You did everything seamlessly. The food looks real, the smoke looks real, it's very well done.

Everything was from another photo. I basically achieved what I wanted with the smoke by doing a couple layers of smoke with different blending modes and opacities. For the steam, its also from another picture and i just lowered the opacity way down, used screen blending mode i think, and went over it with a low strength eraser getting rid of small spots until it looked right. Sorry to dissapoint you, i don't have any magical smoke brush haha. This was really my first time even attempting anything like this
