The frog is my own photo. After chasing it all over the garden for a nice pic I decided to include it so it can have its 15 minutes of internet fame :-) (5 years and 3439 days ago)
Source image used to replace all hair. Added mustache and goatee. Did the eyebrows. Smudged like a madman to get the hairy effect and used the rubberstamp tool to clean up edges where the "hair" meets the forehead. Criticism and comments are welcome....I think! The photo is a picture of me that my wife took (5 years and 3444 days ago)
nice and clean. you should pay attention to the coins though. you have ruined the perspective. i'll wait with my vote for now.
keenox - thanks for the comment but it's just a pile of coins on top of the soil to act as fertilizer! I decided this simply because I am no good at perspective. Nevertheless, I went back to my entry and tried all sorts of antics with the warp tool and every other tool I could find - I had a good laugh - but sadly nothing constructive came of my efforts so I shall have to leave the coins to soak into the soil as fetilizer would do, and hope for the best. Have made some modifications now - but is it any better.......
Money + Tree = ?
Howdie stranger!
