    Very nice work and I love the vehicle, but that car is clearly missing Mr Fusion to power the flux capacitor and that plutonium is hard to come by in stores these days.

    Just made this with GIMP 2.7.4 (pertinent blog entry here on that subject) . And yes just of a bit of a sci-fi geek thing with this one.

    Hi, Speed_Gibson
    Here's the DVD cover I did, for a non-existent film, featuring a friend of mine whose special skill is doing those sword weilding things that get done on the top of a mountain at sunset before tomorrow's battle.

    Sorry about my previous contribution ... I tried and failed to troubleshoot it. Even I could not access the picture regardless of whether I was logged in to my Zenfolio account :)

    This was an easy one but gave me a good excuse to use the 2.7.4 build of the GIMP.
    Another T-shirt mockup that I would actually buy. Of course I could just have it custom printed if I wanted to.

    Hi Speed_Gibson

    That's Very cool ... I'm especially liking "If you're a vampire, you should act like one" ... great phrase and font - I can feel it biting into the back of my retina ... totally memorable :)

    Yup ... I've mentally 'looked away', and the inner after image is still burning bright. Kudos.

    Thank you. I had to do a short hunt for an appropriate font at my usual first source <http://www.1001freefonts.com/> and even briefer search for the group shot of the Volturi, but the rest of the actual creation was "old hat" to me. Finding the perfect enough catch phrase was my biggest concern.

    My latest creation with the GIMP 2.7.4. I considered using Photoshop but stuck with what I knew and had the easier interface to use.
    Interesting note with this one: I took these pictures with 4 kids right next to this fountain and a 3 & 4 year old giving a solid effort to get into the shots.

    My latest "work" with Photoshop. I claim zero credit here, just the ability to read and follow a very well written tutorial.
    link is here if it is not showing, not sure if it is just that on my end

    Alrighty then, the link in the previous post now points to this new file. Here is the more proper version as in what I was intended originally.

    I posted this before, but this is somewhat improved after using Content Aware and a slight filter. Not my personal view but this was too good to pass up so I walked over here one day and had to take it.

    That flowing water animation reminded me of this shot from a friend's wedding this past spring.

    Most of what I do is just typical post-processing and adjustments like this

    Nice results on both. That wedding shot reminds of those "freeze frame" scenes in movies where one person is walking around everyone else when they are frozen in place due to super speed, stopped time, or whatever else.

    A bit past the season now and not that original but it was amusing still. This is a card to send those friends that are the uber politically correct types. Not a big fan of that personally as you can tell here......

    This would be a photoshop creation mixing two of my picture from '05 and '02 off the top of my head.
    This has been sitting on my hard drive in a very early stage for a solid 4 years but is finally done now. I think it would have failed on several levels before this, but I knew where to take the final result this time and had a healthy enough comfort level with PS CS5 to do what was needed.

    Not much skill involved with this one, and it is about as original as the watered down ending of the 1958 film version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof but I felt like making it still.

    Same general idea, they use a big circle of cameras and I used one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_i=B000J0HNXI loaded with Fujicolor 400
