very artistic I would only change the pen with a paint brush

HOT AND CREATIVE.. i like the splatter brushes to. they so usefull.

Totally agree!

Great idea!

If the splatters looked more like brush strokes it would be more convincing and he needs a brush instead of a pen, but great idea. Good luck!

laulei, thats the artists style.....hence the title.

nice

good work

very nice love it

great work specially on the hair..I bet you used the "select color range"

wow thats different and neat

Nice idea. Great job!

Yep gigallo....you are right..

I love it, nice entry, congratulations

5.4.......shakes head in disgust!

Man.. I really need to learn how to scroll better.. I was looking at your SBS and I stopped at step three and began to analyze the work and I was about to say.. now why didn't the author tuck the face in better.. LOL and low and behold.. YOU HAD.. I'm so sorry.. got to learn to ALWAYS go HIGH RES/SBS then back to HIGH RES to double check.. if still confused, down load into PS and flip.. ahhhh.. Much better now.. very good work here and super high mark (You should have seen the first comment I composed..thank god for the delete button.. still kicking myself over that) Good luck author
*while I could nit pick about the difference of resolution of the blanket to the face, I don't feel that has anything to do with the magnificence of the work here.. great work here

great idea!!

I like this, except with a high light source no shadow would be visible above the head, only below.

pingenvy, fixed the tip you gave me...thanks and a thanks for the nice comments from everyone else also.

i dont really like it but thats just my opinion gl

Thanks tuckinator for making such a constructive comment!.....personally, if i dont like something i just dont comment at all.

5.2? WTF.....some idiots here dont know how to vote i guess! They vote on theme instead of technique.

Old mr no shoulders, very nice blending

I really love the fact that this is your snake picture, makes it ever so much more great and really your own possession.. I do wish you could make the face of the snake stand out more.. you could Dodge tool it.. but you'd have to be super careful not to over pixelate it.. or contrast.. then you have the trap of making it TO stand out ish. if that makes sense.. very good concept and good luck

EDIT: OH YEA author.. I LOVE THE Hi Res..thus the comment ..hehehe.. I hate how the Low Res sometimes devastates the image.. sorry I didn't point that out in the original comment.. GREAT WORK

makes sense Golem. It stands out more in hi res.
Thanks for the comments

good job blending the snake into the beard

Nice work with the beard indeed, but I thought the same as Golem. If you could highlight the right side of the snake's head a bit (or darken the body left from the head a bit), it might be more visible. Good luck!

good work

very nice idea

Thank you Waz and Golum!! took your advice and it looks better

freaky
