This idea came out of the blue! Just finding the right image, thanks to PXL stock, made it happen rather quickly. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
The only sources used were the contest image and the stock image. See SBS . (5 years and 3691 days ago)

When I saw this source image I knew what I wanted to do right away! I used the source and a stock picture (thanks zambyoo7!) along with brushes and the eraser to create my image.

At last!! A finished SBS! (5 years and 3674 days ago)

The source was used along with brushes to create "HEY GUYS!"
After removing Churchills head, I drew his head in PS on a seperate canvas and fit it into place. The rest of it was made with stamps.

PS
Due to copyright concerns, I have made changes to the original drawing. Hope you like this one as well! (5 years and 3705 days ago)

This was an easy one for me...I do this work every day as a photographic portrait retouch artist. THAT is my job....THIS is my fun!
The only sources I used were the contest photo and a background that I made. The rest is "skill and technique".
Some have suggested a background change (one of my own making) which I did and liked it better! Thanks for the critique! (5 years and 3783 days ago)

This is my photo of my son. I used the liquify tool to give the sad expression and painted a teardrop on his cheek. (5 years and 3711 days ago)
