I actually spent more time than usual on this. From initial pencil sketch to final, about 10 hours. I seldom work on a piece for that long.
It was all done in PS7. Most of it, is the result of contour curve manipulations. Hope you like it

Wow nice piece there Ron that look's great. A lot of work no doubt. Nice going. [righton]

Thanks, but I needed to change a few things. I cleaned up some little flaws ( probably still needs more work though ) and added some motion to the background. It was too static ( ya think ?)

Brilliant!
We could do with a tutorial for this the sort of thing in the "pdf tutorial book" that's been suggested.

Sweet, I want one! Very cool concept, ron. [righton] I do see a couple shadows sticking out of the edges that need some cleaning up (as you said yourself) but thats about it. Nice work!

That is some amazing work. You never fail to impress me. Thanks for posting this.

Did you do all of this in Photoshop??? What? \:/

Nicely done. Do I have a feeling it's not that done yet. I'd love to see whatever improvements you plan for it.

Yes, Al. It can be done. Apart from the usual masking, fills and airbrushing, it's a matter of layers and layer modes.

Alistair..all PS 7 my fav. version

dv8_fx. It still needs some work, true. But I doubt that I'll be doing it. It's just an exercize and I'm on to new things. I only post these images to show what can be done in PS and to encourage the younguns to perservere. :}

It's amazing how fast you can learn and what you can do with PS if you really want it bad enough. As I've learned with Photoshop. PS has nearly endless possibilities. Anything I put my mind to, I can do. And besides, it's a hell of a lot a fun. 8}
