They wrap ya up in a bloody sheet and throw you down about fifty feet. The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play hide-n-seek on your snout. They eat your eyes, they eat your toes they eat the b--g-rs- inside your nose....ha ha... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Thats pretty cool Maya, I always had a sweet tooth for candy corn.

I stayed out to late last night and consumed to much Vampire Beer, the light hurts my eyes and I'm a bit dizzy. Think I will go lay down in my coffin.

Very cool Maya.
I have a few spiders that live in my house, they seem to balance the food chain between the ants and lizards, I have to use the vacuum on the webs once in a while. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I have a fun weekend coming up, I'm riding my old Harley Davidson down to Key West for the annual poker run. Its party time!

Robby --- You've got the spooky look of missing flesh down pat, I'd say! I really like the ghostly room scene too. Nice work! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Thanks Mike! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Yep, that's a mohawk...just seemed fun. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif I was really surprised at how a basic Poser person could be morphed into something completely different, (no full moon required!) and I was able to give this guy some "attitude" which was really really fun (gees, you can change everything right down to individual eye parts and movements! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif )...then the atmosphere was given with playing with the lights. I added several in red and blue and purple around him, and firelight in the lower foreground really looked interesting to me. The background is made from a photo I took of the moon and then blurred the details in it somewhat so it wouldn't be too crisp and would seem in the distance more. Loads of fun!!!!

What's next??? Any fightening freaky thing! Go for it, Mike! Maybe I will try to create some sort of ghoul or vampire next --- lots of possibilities in those! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Hi Mike! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Thanks, I was away from doing any art really for many months, and I also went to New Zealand twice, so I spent about 6 weeks over there. I've only just resumed doing some artwork and just got PS7 so these little images are my first forays into playing with Photoshop7 and learning what it can do. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif I'm loving it though, it feels very natural to me to use and is my favorite ap now. I still have MJW but haven't done anything recently with it, ZBrush the same --- but I think I'll save ZBrush for when I have a puter with more RAM and can handle the 100% cpu usage which goes on even when it idles. I'm leary of that, I don't want to have a melt down just for using ZBrush! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/eek.gif I also have Painter8 which I have yet to play with....AND Satori PhotoXL which is another great paint program. So, I've got plenty in the toolbox, along with Xara as well, to goof around with and I'm just getting started. I'd heard all these things about PS being hard to learn, etc. but I haven't found it to be at all that way, and I just love it. It may be a huge ap but it really is a powerhouse with what you can do with it.

Autumn is my favorite time of year...also Halloween my favorite holiday, so I started with these themes in PS and the starfields I posted earlier.

here's an experiment in PS just playing with the leaf brush and a font then trying for a 3D-like effect using the blending options...FUN!

Hi Maya,

I worked in an hour or so to do a quick image. This was done using PS7's smudge tool with a little bit of burn tool here and there. I think this is the first I've done from start to finish in PS7.
