Since I've gotten numerous requests via email for my PSD, I just wanted to let everyone know it is available for download here: http://www.jonnorris.com/downloads/image2v2.zip

The basis for this...

You've got mail...

Here's a grungy image I did last year for another post here on FK.

I've got the PSD if you want to rip it apart...

If Wacom doesn't have any refurbished tablets right now, you might want to check out http://www.coolgraphicstuff.com/. I bought a used 9x12 tablet from them about a year ago for $99. As another...

Wacom all the way! I've got 2 of them (one at home and one at work) and they are definitely worth the money. I would suggest avoiding the smallest one (4x5) because it's a little too cramped. The...

My Mac at home has a 466 mhz single processor. My PC sitting on the same desk has an 866 mhz processor. They both have the exact same RAM and hard drive size. My Mac is consistently twice as fast...

I used to be one of those people who swore that I would never use a Mac. I had used PC's all my life. I do web design professionally and I could do everything I needed with all the software I...

I've been kinda out of the loop for the last few weeks, but I finally had time this morning to take a stab at the fruit picture. I'll try to do another one or two before the deadline.

Killabry,
I know these aren't really traditional fps games, but I LOVE the Red Storm stuff -- Rainbow 6, Rogue Spear, Ghost Recon, etc. If you're looking for some really challenging game play,...

Before I get in trouble for breaking the rules again, what exactly are the rules for this one? Any limitations on filters or layers or blending modes? Can we add anything from other images or does...

I like the glass with the fruit.

I'm on board if I've got the time. I'll keep an eye out for the next one...

Joy Electric!

Great addictive synth-pop that always makes me happy...

Aversion,
Sounds like a great idea! I really think that having a theme in addition to an image would help us to focus. I'm on board whenever someone is ready to do one like this :)

Dean,
No problem...I totally agree with you about the fact that if this was a real-world project and if one of us presented a picture like this to a client, we would probably be fired. I just...

Dean,
I guess I just didn't interpret the contest the same way you did. It said "Who can make this picture look cool?"...not "Who can make this picture of a road look like a picture of a...

Killabry,
No problem...I wasn't quite sure how it would go over anyway, but that's just what I felt like making yesterday so I thought I would post it. The pic probably has more to do with my...

Killabry,
Sorry you don't understand it...but hey, it's just art. I did exactly what we were supposed to do...take the picture and make it look "better" without using other pictures. What do...

Gurdas,
Thanks for the compliment. The biggest pointer I can give you is to not be afraid of using LOTS of layers...and always play around with the blend modes. Also, study what other people...

I got bored at work again, so I made another one...

Do you want tutorials on Strata3D? Check their site...that's how I learned it.

As far as tutorials on how to do the images, I ran across these a few days ago and thought I would pass them along: ...

Sorry...I don't know. I'm poor so I'm using the free version of Strata 3D and I don't think it has an Export feature (or at least I haven't found it yet). Typically though, when you export...

In Strata3D, if you do "Save As", you're just going to save the 3D model. That won't do you much good when you get to Photoshop. If you want some type of image format (TIF, JPG, etc) that you can...

I was goofing off when I should have been working and came up with this --
