This is excellent.. Would love to see a SBS if possible Great job, really

Added an animated SBS Toothpick, hope it helps explain the making of the image. Sorry that the building of the fairy is not in it but I lost the PSD file for that.

really cool work!

Cool!
Reminded me of a similar entry ( Burning kiss- i think ) with the same fairy model & concept. The guy used different layers of cracked earth the one underneath was red and it looked like skin was pealing off. Veterans surely know it.
This is cool too, and i'm happy to see it since the old entry died with PST, and the user didn't come back.
But you entitled it: explosive kiss - in explosion the exploded parts either become smaller or stay the same, they don't increase size. I know the idea is from the tutorial with the exploded face, but many people stated that the flaw in concept is that bits shouldn't get bigger.

I agree, I've always thought that tut was wrong. The larger fragments should be closer to the source, and get smaller as they expand. Good entry, though.

nice work author

How to destroy a tough guy with a blow of a kiss...
