LOL sorry for the title humor

Iceland, April 2010?

The idea is nice, but you should be able to increase the job more. Tips:
The lava running down the hill: Add some filter, shadow, bewel/emboss, blur and strech so it blend into the mountain. Play around and you´ll find it to be "not so drawn".
The restaurant: Add some ashes to the building, it looks way to clean when the rest of the enviroment is covered.
The road: Straighen it.

Nice idea

Sunzet, I didn't emboss or bevel the lava because it made it look like blood, but I did change the layer to "screen." I added more ashes to the pizza hut and added people walking. I did not straighten the "road" because it is supposed to be a footpath---it is in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for your suggestions. I was tired last night when doing it.

I like the idea but I would have liked to have the PizzaHut a bit closer so you could see it. I also wouldn't have desaturated the red on the restaurant because it is hard to tell what it is until you go to full view. With the lava what I would've done is create a new layer fill it with black, set the layer blend mode to color dodge. With a red soft brush set to an opacity of about 6% paint over the lava. Good luck.

Good idea....Best of luck

Nice idea but demands more work especially on shadows...gl

of the text on signs images, this has been well done, the text sits well on the signs as if part of them. Unlike the rest of the entires! Voters will still be looking for something more original though.

Great message

Haha, it's funny =) And true. Yeah, and the text fits very well in that sign.

Wow. Someone was hungry!

Very nice indeed...chopstick block needs a shadow too, and blur chopstick shadow to match the blur on the other shadows. The only way I'd like your idea better would be something weird poking out of the noodles, but that's just me... Good luck!

Thanks CMYK! There's nothing weird poking out of the noodles, but I put something edible

This looks great! Very nice job indeed.

Definitely NOT sushi. well done. GL!
