Are you made of gold or some harder metal? How much heat can you stand before you melt?
The work was inspired by the movie Terminator 2 in which the T1000 is a metal shape changer. I wanted the end result to look more like melting metal than melting wax. If you have any tips for improvement, please share.
Process: Cut out model. Make new background by painting a new layer with black and overlaying the flames on screen mode. Mask out unwanted bits, desaturate and darken the green bits.
Use some cloned flames for the ground and push them around with the smudge tool, then liquify to make it look like a puddle.
Add some smoke around the flames.
Lighten model as much as possible, use plastic wrap filter, then chrome filter over the plastic wrap. Draw some drop sections over the model freehand, copy and paste them in various places. Use puppet warp, liquify and smudge tools on model parts to increase the melting effect and blend the feet into the ground puddle. Adjust levels and curves. Add colour from the flames. I used two new layers for the colour and blended them using colour and colour burn blend modes. Merge all layers and save. Took the end result into filter forge to add a black frame.
That's it in a nutshell. I played around a lot more than that, trying different effects and ended up scrapping a lot of layers. That is why
I did not make an SBS with pictures. I started trying to make one but I changed my mind because I scrapped and changed too many things in the process. (5 years and 1021 days ago)
Looks like you put a lot of work into this masterpiece. Hopefully it wins!
Thank you very much. I am honoured that you consider it to be a masterpiece.
I've been in that mood.. but usually some MiraLAX clears that up in a couple of days... I AM JUST KIDDING.. but I couldn't resist.. giggle snort..
Great job all round 
A slushy mood or a hard metal mood? I think Miralax would just make you feel more like sitting down in your own private room or more "sitty". Add an "h" in there next to the s.
I left it out deliberately so as not to offend any tender readers who have not reached adult age yet. Hopefully they are too young to figure it out. 
Congrats Angel!!

Liquid Gold? I'm from Wisconsin and beer is a food group.. and I don't remember ever calling it Liquid Gold... "bat pee" has come up from time to time but that's usually left for Pabst (Okay Natural Light, Pabst isn't that bad, but it's been a while) hehehe.. great job... Now where are the peanuts and pretzels?
Good to see you back Ernest. I was missing your funny comments. You always make me smile. Beer as a food group is an interesting concept. Calling it bat pee sounds disgusting and might even cure some people from alcoholism?
However, some people even drink horse piss. .... Seriously take a look at the picture.

It is unbelievable what some people will throw down their throats.
Personally I can't stand the stuff myself so I don't drink any of it. I will stick to pretzels and peanuts with lemon squash. Peanuts are in the pantry. Lemon squash in the fridge. No beer by any name in fridge. I am out of pretzels. I will make sure to get some next time I go shopping.
Horse Piss? BWHAA HAAA HAAA HAAA...only in Australia ... I don't think we have Lemon Squash here in the States but I think it's like Sprite or 7-up, if it's sour it would be Squirt which is pretty potent. (Squirt was my Dad's Favorite drink when he was alive) We also have Fresca, a godawful diet drink that you can taste with the back of your head.
(still giggling over Horse Piss Beer.. WHOAH NELLIE!!!)
You make me giggle enough so I am pleased to give you a dose of your own medicine now and then.
