The little "Cafe Metro" sign inspired me to use a subway / metro theme for this one. From the source image, I pulled the blue bulb in the foreground, the street sign and the word "Metro" from "Cafe Metro." I also used the airbrush tool to do a fair amount of digital painting rather than relying on blending layers this time.

Thanks to frozenchipmunk from Flickr for the background!

I hope you enjoy this -- please feel free to offer any and all thoughts! (5 years and 3760 days ago)

This is a bit of an understated one -- I wanted to keep as much of the feel of the original scene as possible, while making the face even more recognizable as a face.

The "story" running through my head while making this involves the stone giant eating passerby and, each time, experiencing regret and weeping its victim's blood.

Easter egg: find the skull...

Only used 3 outside sources, referenced below.

I'm a bit of a Bézier curve junkie so there was a fair amount of clipping and masking, along with some pixel-by-pixel touch-ups on the desert brush by the rock.

Thanks to Lip Kee for the vulture, Sam Felder for the sand, and Eris for the skull.

Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks! (5 years and 3762 days ago)
