Can you make the text on steps 5 to 9 having a white contour, or just being plain white, cause it's hard to read.

dramatizing displayed pic,.......I like it......but the model.....? I am thinking of replacing her,...and how about,,,,,josh ? hehehe...

This a kinda neat atmosphere, but the the girl is almost one story tall. I think she'd be much better at about 1/2 that size.

I disagree with ping - i think the concept goes like this: In the future people grew up to 5 metres, they were eating too much & couldn't fit in the small bathrooms, so wars started, etc.
I wonder how many days a young,hot, barefeeted chick can last in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
You know i'm j/k author
Tip: use diff. layers for rain, with diff. motion blur settings (smaller -longer lines).

Thank you very much guys

I love the spaceship

Great idea to make the tap a ship, but where do the insides and outside texture come from, or how were they made? (not in sbs)

Edit: Thank you for that explanation, author, tho it came many hours after your first posting. No reason to give me a negative point for just asking, it was a valid question.

Pearlie, I just drawn the textures with a normal soft brush with properties set to colour dodge and low opacity at about 35%.

Very intelligent use of source. Great job!

It really looks like a spaceship! I love the blue lights. Well, I start thinking the tap of my garden will fly away anytime...

Perlie, I didn't give you a negative point. You had a question, nothing wrong with that.
And sorry for the late reply, but I was not logged on at that time.

wow its pretty!

Sci fi and art ... what a great combo and what a wonderfully fun image!

Congratulations!

I knew I liked this ... congrats!
