    My Grandfather's Watch

    My Grandfathers Watch

    An entry that pretty much evolved as I worked on it. I orginally planned it to be a steampunk-style entry but it turned into something slightly different. Enjoy! It seems that the mouse was quite the sailor back in its day... http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4bc8696c4f57b/Stop--Please-.ht...

    top 3 entry

    Well, here you go: the source photo was of a hand playing a piano. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything else, so I simply made the same thing: a hand playing piano. Only much more literally. Comments and criticism are much appreciated. Thank you very much to bas3ssen (http://www.sxc.hu/...

    Up and Away

    I originally planned to do something entirely different, but then this surreal little scene popped into my head upon a second glance at the picture... Train is made from scratch, with parts from source pic. Tracks, hills, and hot air balloons are all pure source, except for a couple of texture br...

    An entry that evolved as I was working.

After being unable to find a suitable stock photo, I added a squirrel insetad...
