MSU, I can already say yours is gonna be breath-taking!+

 

[NowInc]

lets hope i can finish my REAL entry in time :x

 

[Main Street USA]

Ok, it's done, finally!

Here's a few quick facts:

- over 80 layers
- about 90% photoshop (the tower is an altered photo)
- one hidden mickey
- about 12 hours (not all at once, i'm not a psycho, or so I like to think)
- if you back far enough away, it looks like a picture of Rod Sterling

Hope you all like!

EDIT: I've gotten a few questions. If you'd like to see or have a larger version of this, just IM me and I'll send it over. I have it up to 24" x 36".


edit again: i've deleted my first poster to make the page load quicker. see my entry on a later page. thanks!

As with my previous entry into the Haunted Mansion Wallpaper contest, I was going for a mix of creepy AND Disney. Not just creepy. If it were just creepy, it wouldn't look Disney.

Oh dear God, that is wicked awesome, Main Street!

EDIT: Oh Dear God, I can't believe I just said "wicked awesome"....:lol:

 

[The_CEO]

Yeah great job DCA_Fan, your originality shows ...........

Quick note: The_CEO, please post the link to the poster. Hot-linking is evil, you're wasting SOM's bandwidth.

Yes, I had to get inspiration from somewhere. I actually went through about 3 rough drafts before I decided to follow SOM's ideas because the others were too difficult to do. However, I'd like to note that my poster is 100% self done, ie. I didn't just edit a poster, every element is self done (minus the tower, that's a photo).

MSU, good grief, 80 layers! Wow. Mine only has 20 :animwink:

I only ask for it out of courtesy to SOM's webmaster. You see, if you hot-link, every time someone opens this page, it leeches on his bandwidth. If you post a link, once a person sees it once, they don't need to click the link again, thus bandwidth space is spared.

That's great Zac! Could you tell me how you make the light shine or glow. I had another completely different idea but still can't figure out how to get the glowing effect. Example: Light from a window when it's dark outside. I even downloaded a trial version of photoshop but still haven't figured it out. By the time I figure it out we'll be on Poster Contest #24. :lol:

Thanks,
:wave: ACE

P.S. I thought you put up a tutorial on this a while back but couldn't find it.

MSU, do you have any of the Roller Coaster Tycoon games, I would love to see some of the parks you could come up with.

That Poster is unbelieveably Awesome. Tell me again why you are not getting paid top dollar for graphic work again, you really have some raw skills that need to be more visible to the public and truly recognized.
