Open Battle :: "everybody was kung fu fightin'..."

[clicky2]

I also use stock when appropriate, but I also rely on my trusty little digital camera and scanner to do most of the work for me.

I carry my digital with me at all times just in case I see something that catches my eye. You never know when you'll be walking, riding or driving around and just see something that inspires you. And never underestimate what a scanner, a variety of different types of paper, and art supplies can do as well.

Same goes for me, mostly stock photo.
There's a thread located here with tons of links to stock photo websites.

ok was considering taking fruitloops challange in his new thread, but dont have time to assign to it, so I took my inspiration from his image and followed on from save_larry's image.

Dawn of Mother Nature

believe or not, i took the mountian rock from last image, which is the greyed out part top right of my image that covers the eyeball.

[save_larry]

Ack, no comments on mine. I take it that's a bad sign. Tell me what I did wrong!

[Kaco]

save_larry, your image is good but is a bit bland, needs a little uummpphhff...

pretty nice image bite.

[save_larry]

Thanks, Kaco. It does need more umph. I had more I wanted to put in, but I lack the Photoshop skills. I guess this is where I learn.

What's an "image bite"?

How do so many of you get such vivid colors even after saving as a jpg? Is it something to do with how you set your pallette?

mod edit: Nice image, but it doesn't exactly follow the flow, form, or rules set up by the first post in this series. Feel free to post up an image that falls into premise of this photoshop "battle"... -gerbick

Not that I'm a long-timer here (actually just started myself) but you do have to include part of the previously posted image as well as adhere to the pixel dimension (landscape or portrait) and file size. Not sure you did that at all in your currently posted image.

[Kaco]

welcome to the thread and the arena Jafit-man.
one of the rules for this thread is that you must use something from the previous image in your image.

And also keep the image size 700 x 350 px
Check out the rest of the battle (Open battle) Every image has the same size and includes something of the previous image posted, but anyway, welcome to the arena Jafit.
