Nose Nibble
As soon as I snapped this shot I thought, "yup I just got that" he only bit his nose for a quick second. I just loved the moment and am so glad I had the opportunity to capture it!

Nothing like a gloomy day walk for great photos of...weeds

I laid on the ground to get this shot, lucky it was frozen ground at the time so I didn't get dirty :)

Decided to make some sorta wasp ant like creature. Something that has possibly been growing and evolving deep in a cave some where....well not so deep that there can't be sunlight :)

I did a lot of work on this image than you can really tell. Unfortunately I was flattening as I went, not ever expecting to enter it in a contest. So my step by step is going to rather lack luster in terms of number of steps.

This is a good friend of mine I did a photo shoot for several years back. hope you like it...her :)

This is my beautiful sister :) I made her this for her birthday (it was actually yesterday but this took longer than I thought it would) I did go to the link on the contest description and scrolled down through all the different images for some inspiration!! I ended up using this one (http://psd.tu...

Was playing around with fancy lighting! Had no other subject to shoot at the time but myself, which worked fine for me because i don't complain when I keep tweaking the light for hours :) Did some color work mainly in the raw editor and a good amount of sharpening to get that nice crisp look, but...
I actually started this intending for it to be funny. I had a penguin under the turtle looking like it was screaming because the turtle was going to smash it. and the turtle looked like it was falling really fast. But then I found the baby turtle in the perfect position and the picture evolved into ...
I had been wanting to participate in this contest but have not had time. I looked last night and saw that it ended today. So I just started painting to see how far I would get and wound up staying up way to late, I just couldn't stop! :)

My first thought for this contest was to wake a lightbulb balloon! This just seemed like a very steam punk-ish thing to do so I ran with that :)

So I did what I'm sure we all have done at some point, and spent hours and hours on an entry just to find I'm a couple levels too low for that contest :( In other words I made an entry for the gorilla contest and then realized I need to be a slightly higher level. Oh well serves me right for not pay...
I loved how dynamic this pose was! So I figured some sort of super heroin (or perhaps villain) was in order :)

I saw all the subtle but wonderful textures and shinny parts of the helmet and decided to make some sort of robot woman. Everything is made from the helmet, minus the pieces of glass which is just used pen tool. I did use one source for the body position, but you can't actually see any of that actua...

Um... not sure what to say about this one, just really liked the lighting. I couldn't get a bad picture at this table :)

This timid little guy is called a Trody! They are nocturnal creatures who eat tiny bugs that are drawn to Trody's glowing antenna. They are afraid of most things and spend a majority of their nights running away from nothing at all.

All I new when I started was that I wanted to do a profile of someone's head with a light bulb in it. This is where I ended up :)
For: doll house contest
I saw the wonderful textures in the source and naturally thought of dragon skin and shiny horns! So I spent hours turning the source into this guy!!!

This is some sort of dinosaur shark...thing...I hope you like it! Its late so I'm just going to upload my step by step without explanation for now. Hopefully I'll have time later in the week to describe the steps.
I knew I wanted to do a phoenix of sorts, so I searched for a LONG time to find just the right bird to transform. I'm rather pleased with the source I found and with the final product I arrived at. If you have a minute PLEASE look at the high res, there's a ton more detail than you can really see i...

I decided to really run with the "inspiration" part of this contest and make a heavily Tron inspired picture but not something seen in the movie. I ended up using a horse!
I found a great source image and just went from there...I do wish she had a head haha but oh well I think the composition worked out in the end. The card source images are in the SBS and I didn't end up using the rabbit in the final picture so I wasn't sure if I needed the link but I gave it just in...
