nice work author

look like you see Photoshop Top Secret tutorials ...nice image...good luck!

indeed i saw hotoshop Top Secret tutorials. still, i thought the technique there was very complicated and pointless. there is no sense in cutting all the pieces one by one.

instead, i made a one part brush, changed the size and shape and scattered it.
then i used it on a black mask in order to expose only parts of the image.
i created the effect in 3 minutes instead of 3 hours

nice work author....gl

looks good author.... I was stupid enough to purchase that "top secret" tutorial dvd...... blah what a waste of time it was lol...

Rather figure it out on my own, never did finish one of their tuts cause they took way to long.

But I do like this

Haunting.

Mildly interesting. Googling the title didn't give me an immediate explanation as to what this might represent. What am I missing?

does it have to represent something?
i came up with the title as i was thinking how would i call it if it was a horror movie and that was the poster
thats what came in my mind

Would love to see a really large format of this image. Nice work.

Awesome!

Great blending

extremely effective!! good luck author

cool work and great idea...best of luck author

Good Composition. Nice masking. GL.

I think the large figure outside the window would cast a shadow on the floor as well...just a thought. If you could give the diver more contrast...that would help. Cool image.

EDIT: Did you add contrast to the diver? Looks ...as for shads...obviously your call. Wasn't sure how far the diver was from the building. I was just suggesting to add a large, soft one to help make it 'belong' in the image more. Nice job though!

Dear pixelkid, i think that the body is too far from the floor to have a shadow.... Thanks for your comments

Thanks a lot my friend...I just saw this entry...I am very very flattered...And u will always have my support...

haha! Basic for you... I'm lookin at it and thinking... damn did author digitaly draw this stuff then manipulate the stuff? lol Great work! I love this

I use Pen tool for "tentacles" , Brush tool for particles , Shape tool for Man-Woman sign and a lot of blending option

See that's what I need to learn are those awesome brushes ya'll talk about all the time. Then I want to learn blending. but I guess i need the program first huh? LOL

I like It GooD JoB

Fantastic

nice...

I suggest shading the sphere a little to make it more round, at the moment it looks very flat. Maybe you could also make a selection of the sphere then go to filter-> render -> spherize to give it that extra shape.

The ground doesn't convince me, all the rest seems good.

I agree with Ponti, besides that the overall uni color is kinda boring, the shadow of the tree comes down flat while it should follow the curve of the sphere.

Agrees with Ponti and ROB GL !

First version was better. Now it looks like there's a bite out of the planet.

If you don't know how lights & shades work on a sphere, and you don't have any 3d software to help you ( although you can download google sketch up for free, make a sphere and a tree on top and add light source)
- you can get a small ball of uniform color, a lamp, and cut out from paper the abstract shape of a tree which will be glued on the sphere. Then just adjust the position of the lamp, and take a pic for referece.
If you're not up for all this fun just download Google Sketchup.
About the colors, make something(background) blue/purple to contrast with the brown/yellow.

Very cool idea and nice work author...Love the colors very much...IMHO u should make edges of the tree shadow just a bit softer...best of luck

very nice
