Zizounai: It is a toad, not a frog! ( 5 years and 816 days ago )

spaceranger: Actually all toads are frogs: http://allaboutfrogs.org/weird/general/frogtoad.html ( 5 years and 815 days ago )

Zizounai: Oh yes indeed, SpaceRanger ! This is strange because in French we have Grenouille (for frog) and Crapaud (for toad) and they describe two different animals. In Wikipedia (French version) there is an article explaining the possible confusion in different languages « Toutes les langues n'utilisent pas des dénominations particulières pour désigner les espèces d'anoures appelées en français sonneur, grenouille, rainette et crapaud. Certaines langues peuvent faire une distinction analogue comme l'anglais avec toad et frog, mais il n'y a pas forcément de correspondance pour une espèce, autrement dit il est abusif de traduire systématiquement frog par grenouille. » (hoops, sorry if you don’t understand, but thanks for drawing my attention on this linguistic curiosity).

How do I change the order of the images in the SBS?

CMYK46 says:

Deleting & resubmitting is what I've always done.

author says:

I figured it out. Lets say you want to change step 10 and step 11. In the box under 'Step number:', change the number '10' to '11' and save, then change '11' to '10' and save. For whatever reason it took a few times, but it worked.

Evolving into a cute dragon? =]]] nice one good luck

author says:

My vision was a ferocious dragon ready for destruction. But he came out cute. I can live with that.

CMYK46 says:

In this case I think cute works better; we've seen a million ferocious dragons. BTW, good work!

I spent the last year doing MMA Photoshops on Sherdog. Decided to try my hand at real Photoshopping, so here I am back at Pxleyes for fame and fortune.

Thanks for the welcome back brother space.

Zizounai says:

Hoops... sorry but Google doesn't want to tell me what you just said!

(5 years and 797 days ago)

author says:

I will translate. "Hey, thanks cousin. Haha, are you from Hawaii?" (or it could be "Have you lived in Hawaii?".

A "Kama'aina" (kah-mah-eye-nuh)is someone born in Hawaii or lived here for a long time.

A privately owned remote island, far enough from the mainland to not be noticed. Visitors come by exclusive invitation only. Transport is by private canoe. You need to row yourself there and back. (5 years and 811 days ago)

gosseyn says:

I like this. I had a similar idea some days ago while contemplating the frog, but now I'll have to find another idea because of you ! . I just have one problem with the trees : they look photorealistic while the rest doesn't (frog and sea).

author says:

Please don't change your idea because I already made an island. Please go right ahead and create one too. I am sure it will be totally different to mine anyway.

(5 years and 810 days ago)

author says:

As for the trees, they were filtered with the same art filters as everything else. However, if you have any suggestions for improvements, I am all ears and totally willing to listen and learn.

(5 years and 810 days ago)

gosseyn says:

Perhaps I would desaturate the green of the trees a bit, and maybe also apply an artistic filter to them. Also maybe try to make the trees look like it's autumn, or add a little bit of color that would match the color of the sky, or a color that would extend the color of the frog. I like the color of the grass because I feel it matches the rest, it looks like it has been burnt by sunlight..

author says:

Thank you for your kind suggestions.

spaceranger says:

@gosseyn- It's not unusual to have a similar idea as another member. The island on an animal's back has been done many times so it's understandable that others would think along those lines. You can see an example here: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3b/87/0b/3b870b245b8431b38ca4bb9fabb7df8e.png and also if you google phrases like "turtle island" you'll find more.

It's only when an image is particularly unique that another similar entry might be considered a copy of that image. I entered an image of a clown with a puppet of himself (http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4a723bdc98f1e/Confronting-His-Alter-Ego.html) which has been done many times before yet one member commented as though I "borrowed" someone's idea which was just another members version of the popular theme. It's up to you but even this author encourages you to enter your idea as well.
