    I made this one quite some time ago, just for fun, and it just felt great for this contest. =) So, what I did: 1. Create the 3d 'wlado' model in 3ds max and textured it [altered the textures in PS before that] 2. Imported into photoshop, added the background sky 3. Did some burning, dodgeing, ...

    Yesterday or 33 years ago?

    This is a photo of my mum and her best friend taken 33 years ago while they were still in high school. The photo is really small, I'd say as an average business card, so it was really hard getting it to look sharp. I used a special technique for making the edges look normal (since sharpening filters...

    Originally I changed the spots on ladybugs, but eventually decided to leave them like they are. Hope you like. =)

    I don't have much of an SBS, since I usually save my work periodically for it, but this time I forgot. So I'll describe what I did: 1. I cut the hand in pieces, and put each part as a separate layer 2. Then I started warping, and arranging them a lot (this took me like 2 hours when summed up!) 3....

Hope you like it! =)
