well done .. great story,..I enjoyed it

This is cute. Great idea. Good luck! This entry definitely tells the best story.

Funny story, author. About your step 1 from your SBS: I do think your set up with different layers was ok. I dont know how you started with animating, but with the timeline setup you can move, (dis-)appear and split layers all to your liking. With the timeline you can make a tween animation. The good thing about the timeline is that you have way more control about what's gonna happen. You can adjust easier (per layer!) in case you dont like the timing. With frame animation (using a zillion apart images) you have to be lucky if everything is ok, more time consuming. Have to say, animating in PS is pretty much basic (also depends on your own creativity, imagination, etc) and frame (or cell) animation can be very cool, but in your case using layers would have worked well. Doesnt matter for the rest, the result is nice . Good luck!

Simply excellent! It tells a story, and makes the viewer part of the experience. Fantastic effort, and VERY cute! My fav.

Very Very Cool! ... saving my vote to see if an SBS is posted (would love to see one)

fun, but... Remember, though, this is exploration, not invasion!

Love the ship & texture, great find of the flying dog!

The word 'SOON' really comes top mind! LOL

Convincing image, well blended.

Chupacabra as in Invizimals? Nice!

Chupacabra as in Invizimals? Nice!

That's quite freaky , the eyes are a good addition. Is it possible to make that chupacabra a bit brighter in front (so not everything), because someone points a flashlight to it? Maybe it wil look then even more like it appears from out of nothing. Up to you. Good luck!

Dog needs a shadow, otherwise it's a good blend.
