Alot of myth surrounding the construction of the Pyramids. figured i'd use this classic take on it..

thanks to:
zoomar for the space needle,
girolame, for the great pyramid,
Ed Yourdon for the other pyramid,
mikecogh for the stone block,
Remko Tanis for the construction crew,
CARLOS62 for the plans,
Michael Gwyther-Jones for the desert, rosswebsdale and marj k fir the jellyfish,
and Old Shoe Woman for the luxor (5 years and 3441 days ago)

He he, not bad. The pyramid could use a sharper edge where they are adding additional parts to it and IMO, it might look more of a reference to alien construction if you converted the human construction workers into alien looking construction workers, like a couple of grays. But keep the hard hats and plans. It's a nice touch. GL!

I never vote if I make a suggestion for improvement. It wouldn't be very fair if I did. I'll just wait until you can't edit anymore. (Friday)

author says:

Just find something that looks like an alien head. A gourd might work.

Author idea is great,but demands a bit more work...First of all selection and masking of last pyramid block is not good,have to be way sharper then looks now,second thing are people that sit on benches near,it would be better to remove them.Another thing is blending problem,try to make edges of the constructor's a bit softer,and yes u could add some blue/gray layer,blend mode set to color with low opacity.This will help u with blending...Any how,idea is great and i wish u best of luck...

I agree with all that's written above. If you cant find a good alien picture, you make the aliens yourself, of course! There's already a great base with these weird helmets. Just copy-paste them a couple of times and create something spacey with them. Remove the men's ears, put antennas on top of the heads, etc. I'm pretty sure you can do that. And dont forget to make the top of the pyramid look less erased. Good luck!

author says:

you all are correct... i was sleepy and not thinking last night... lol.. was stuck in chop mode.. my brain didn't switch over to paint...... thank you all for gettin my hea out of the box.

Ok, that's interesting. I would still do something to the guy on the left and Erathion made some good points too.

a hard hat on the alien would be a nice touch

There were no hard hats in 4,000 BC or whenever the pyramids were made. Good idea, but not well thought out.

author says:

the theory that i was trying to portray was that ancient astronauts from the future visited civilizations from the past and lent them a helping hand... i agre CMYK that it looks out of place.. and it prolly wasn't the best rendition on my part.. but hey.. its all in good fun... right?

avatar adeincyprus

no hard hats!!....how you know, were you there.....................who knows what these aliens had on board their ship..........

you can use 'wazowski's avatar and blend it as the alien engineer.. if wazowski gives u d permission..

avatar dustfinger

Nice work. Looking at the number of sources you have spend quite some time on this already. Still some suggestions though: The contrast is not consistent through the image. I would suggest enhancing the contrast in the background and make the blueprint less bright, making the clouds the brightest part of the image.

This looks like a shot from a really bad 50'-60's b-movie! LOVE IT! Camp factor is great!
