great job here, very inspiring

Very cool. An SBS would be informative/instructive. I think having all of her hair splattering would be even more compelling.

This is really cool. Caught my eye right away. Agree with DanLundberg.

Awesomely done, I really like your brushes.
Besides what Dan said, an SBS about your brushes would prove that they are made by you, cause right now we have only your word.

Maybe I'm wrong about the method , I can guess you made them out of thresholded water splash, so if you could post the original pics, that would help.

very creative and trendy!

I can give the link to the brushes after the contest. Got em in my deviant art account for free download. I can't post it now without the danger of someone finding out who I am.
I have them for over a year now (i think) and i made them out of images from a free stock site. Anyway I ll Try to do a simple sbs

SbS added... telling the truth is a hard thing I guess.
It would be easier to say got the bruses from "that dude" at deviant art than this madness...

It reminds me of a incident i had a few years ago in photoshoptalent com because an explosion i made was too realistic and they didnt believe it was made out of clouds photos and brushes... Anyway . I hope that u are all satisfied now

great job! Glad you worked it out because I thought this was cool!

I get it, and I believe you author. If you think you might have problems with the mods ( hope not), redflag your own entry and give the link to your account on deviant saying these are my own brushes, DO NOT REMOVE ENTRY !!
That should work, and keep your anonymity as well.

Great job!! Would love to see sbs

Great to know you didn;t just go filter crazy, but rather decided to create your own style. High marks from me

Purely Genius !!!

Congrats for your second place, Robart!

Congrats my friend!

Stunning work! Congrats!

now that's creative! Looks like my city! LOL :P)

Great concept, but the paint is too "solid" on the elephant skin. Perhaps changing the Level mode to "soft light," or reducing the opacity would let more of the skin texture show through, looking more realistic.

Link 4 doesn't lead to elephants used.
Edit: Oops, sorry.

link 4 is correct i just changed the color to a lighter gray.

lolz...go monalisa go...she is about to blow it up
