I started out with the base image, and went from there...as I learned more about the features in CS5..the image became more and more as you see it below.
Thanks for Snow Action ...D, saved a lot of time
I hope the snow shows well, in smaller version, I see now some of the colors need to work on that
I used Transform Skew, Distort, Perspective, and finally started trying to use Gradient tool...
I must admit CS5 is a keeper, anyone still using CS4 should seriously think about getting it. I held out :o now I wonder why?
Thanks for viewing
I'm holding out because I just spent the $200 for the upgrade on new gaskets for the car. (And it's been like this ALL YEAR LONG! Time for a new year!)
Very fresh and inventive image! I wouldn't mind seeing his eyes a little bit better in the top part of the image. The snow works for me but the box is what blows me away...that is waaaay cool!
LOLOL..wouldn't be much of a blizzard if you could see the eyes now would it...lololol.....ya got me, work on it, made a few changes :) later in the day so shadow moved.....:p
Paul, The first image is very creative and well done. I like seeing your imagination in full swing. The way the shadow looks at the base is cool. I agree the snow is barely showing but I think it softens the image just enough. Well done.
Great concept, Paul! Very different and creative. I like the second version. The sunset colors and overall darker tones appeal to me. The snow adds a great touch. I would just move the shadow a bit so that it's not touching the edge of the box. Nice work!
