Under the Moonlight

Under the Moonlight

First of all I selected the hut by using the pen tool. It was quite a work to get rid of some backround that was still visible through some wood pieces. I selected the moon out of a picture by using the quick selection tool and added onto my hut image. Found a good spot for the moon (top right sid...

Wooden Archangel

Wooden Archangel

I have thought that for this constest any image could be turned into a grunge style. But I didn't think this should be enough, so I decided to actually create some sort of a creature, something original and then make it look totally grunge. So....I reconstructed over the woman sculpture using selec...

Merry Land...

Merry Land...

I first carefully selected the merry-go-round in the source image, by using the pen tool. Then I added the trees and gras backround and the clouds and sky. I blended them as good as possible using layer's masks. Colored them and gave them shadows. I added Christmas lights using a very useful PNG f...

Beauty from Past

Beauty from Past

For this entry I thought of something different. The top part of the merry-go-round made me think of a hat....so that was my starting point. I found a great portrait photo taken by "Fetishfaerie " on deviantart. I selected all merry-go-round and after that only the top side. I resized it ...

Tribute to Tilly...

Tribute to Tilly...

These are Steluta and Tilly! Steluta was the adoptive mother of little Tilly! I met both of them one day when I was going to work and then every day became a regular thing that I'd visit Steluta and Tilly! Tilly was a bit scared and shy and never really let me lay hand on her. But she was full of...
