December 2007, created by Grimalkin

December 2007
final rank: 1 out of 46 (final score: 70.5 %)
for contest: calendar calling

Hello! This is my first entry on this site, let me know what you think please.
I used holly and oak leaves to represent an old pagan tale about the Holly and
Oak Kings who battle at Yule. If you are interested in hearing more click on
the link below.

I used the font "Chocolate Box", and also made some brushes out of a
font called "Flakey".The 2 leaf brushes were made along time ago from
a free image I got on a google search.Any other brushes were drawn by me.
To draw the moons, I used my boy friends' pictures as a reference.

I used a couple of fonts for a reference to the main shapes, then drew a sketch.
Then I used mainly the pen tool,dodge & burn and smudge in photo shop.

Please check out the high res. version.The compression really distorted this
entry.

She is the faerie of reflection.

Thanx to all the photographers @ morgue file. I really love the reflection in
the eye of swan 1. If you view high res you can see the silhouette of the
photographer. I thought it was kinda cool so I tried to bring it out a little.

Totem, created by Grimalkin

Totem
final rank: 12 out of 18 (final score: 58.2 %)
for contest: smoke

My first idea was something completely different than this but as I moved around
copies of the original source I started to notice a bunch of different animal
faces. Even more as I kept working.
I see 8 animals.Click on the link below if you can't find all 8.
