pruning season,not yet! good work!

I saw this tat source and was thinking of doing the same thing but I didn't like the fact that the tattoo pic was an old tattoo. Seems like you pulled it off ok though.

thanks guys. I was also thinking the same thing jawshoewhah that for this competition few members may pick the same sources from flickr. I guess the way you work around an image is what makes it different. Thanks again

Might be better with some of the leaves from the original tattoo, but good work over all...

Thanks CMYK. I thought about it too. I 've tryed to make them a bit brighter and with a warmer color but they were way too blury. The idea was to make them match the color of the added leaves. I 've desided to leave it like this cause it looks more clean. I even fixed the guy's finger nail cause i almost threw up when i saw it. Look at the source

pass the dutchy on the left hand side. nice blend Author

Nice work....

Lol...cool

nice idea

very nice idea,

Excellent idea, thou the blending to the screen could be locateda bit better. Also the screen perspective is a little off.. but _very good_ idea, I like it..

Great idea.....only the screen perspective is a problem....Great creativity...

lol...

nice one! that's an art man..

Background source? Source for texture on foot?

Background is made from the tree image source with cloning, mirroring and handwork. Foot texture is from the stitches-image too with additional PS-filters.

nice one

Interesting, but relies too much on pre-made brushes, and the "cuts" on the torso should look three dimensional...

but still very cool looking

i'm loving the creativity!

I love the creativity, but i do agree with CMYK's comment. It's still a nice image. (Next time try using a gradient overlayed onto the cuts in the torso to give the impression of depth instead of just a solid black colour.) But you're still getting high marks from me!

Congratulations Maria
