elaine: 26th Jul 2005 - 16:00 GMT

eek! don't look! remember, i was planning a miserable day in, and had ringed everything in the slightest bit watchable... ok, as well, i have a weakness for teen soaps, you caught me out

Peter: 26th Jul 2005 - 16:04 GMT

heh, no i think its great! i just couldnt tell if it was a tv listing or a page from time out, but now that i see teh challens up top, i guess that answers that...

GGP, i did it in response to your comment about cleaning my camera with a pillowcase

I'm going to dry my hair with a pillowcase later on and see what happens. ;)

elaine this is nice! i would also like to see more art like this. how do you make it in photoshop?

elaine: 26th Jul 2005 - 17:39 GMT

i doodled the character on the listings page, scanned it in, pulled in my watery reflections of the gasworks a few times, flipping them upside down and left to right, made them a bit transparent, did a very dodgey selection of the character, with the magnetic lassoo, got bored and ended up with a loony selection, cut it, made a new layer, pasted it on top, oh and added some crows, similarly transparent. i also did a little scribbling with the history brush. it was quick work, but sometimes that is the best way (for me, who is inclined to ruin things if i overlabour)

funny - now that you're doing collages in photoshop i'm suddenly painting with acrylics.

elaine: 27th Jul 2005 - 09:00 GMT
