ok. this image is wired enough, so i tried to keep the sbs clear (beside this arrowsalad)
When i saw this carimage, i asociated it first with some strange animal with an open mouth.
a fish seemed ideal, so i got out for fishing fish images to create something fishy.
mainly used transformtool (distort) to give shapes and pentool to cut it free.
step 2 of 2
after i thoght twice about the stupid idea to give the fish legs i did it. that was the point when i knew he was afraid an ran away of something creepy. First i wanted to do another carfish, but the piece ive chosen for this plan came out as an excellent broom. (cleaning up can be a nightmare too). well, the fuzzles came because the image was still to empty and it was near the broomtheme. I created the background, the bottom is drawn (yes, i know, you dont need to be a picasso for that ground ;)) for making the fish more painty i used the "reduce noise filter" several times.
bubble is drawn, was basically a gardient in a circle, a littke brush and lightercolor layermode.
Ok, hope this is enough information and you are not unhappy of sourceusing.
