i love the vibe i get from this picture very creepy :P

Has potential, but it looks more like someone wearing a mask to me because the body doesn't match the face. Hair and shoulder edges lack the crispness of the 'mask' which emphasizes the maskiness of the face.

I see, I see. There were pink sleeves in the original image that I had a lot of trouble covering up. I'm not good at some things in photoshop yet. If anyone has tips on how to cover things like that up more efficiently, I'd love to hear them!!

Why the need to remove the pink sleeves? If you thought they were too cheery for the walking dead, you could select them and change their hue to something more somber. But I think the contrast between frilly and dead would actually enhance the creepiness.

nice work...gl

I thought about leaving them in, but somewhere along the lines of making it I had the idea that bare shoulders would just be creepier. The problem I ran into with them was making the edges I had to erase (that were sticking out past where the natural arm was) look natural and not blurry. Which as you've noted I never did quite accomplish, haha.

I do like the occasional mixing of creepy with "cheery" though, it just wasn't working for me in this one.

I like your work! GL author.

Ha, Vamp mobile, nice one, GL

Hey, there! Thank u for the comments...

nice one...very funny...few minor observation...front tire (car left) dont look good...u have to change perspective there...and would be more funny if u put some skulls and bones to the seat or something like that....good luck author

lol ..cool

Erathion, I'm seriously considering your idea... hahaha! Thanks! XD

looks cool

perfect...

Congrats for your second place, Erikuri!

Congrats on 2nd!

Greate image, very effective.. this belongs on a cigarrette packet.. really well done, high marks from me

You just ripped apart a cigarette, so where's the tobacco? Fix the reflection so the cigarette isn't floating...good image, otherwise...

nice concept

that has a strong message; I'm glad I don't smoke

ooo talk about sugestive nice work the reflection i think is too bright... cause then you would see the wall reflected too

Great antismoking message. I wish someone would do one about chaw/dip/smokeless types, too. It's so discusting to see someone carrying around a soda bottle that they use to spit in. Or chipmunk cheeks full of it, especially when they conducting training.

this is very cool

GREAT JOB! It has a lot of meaning.

i don't like this message ( i'm a smoker ) I'd like to see maybe some paper folds where the cigarette starts splitting...and it does look like it's floating, like CMYK said...lower the cigarette on the reflection

omg i love it i hope it gets a top 3!

thanks
look at the updated entry...

seems very simple, but does bring across a very powerful message, nice work!

Great entry!Very original!
