Picture search results for: Dinosaur

Looking at rocks, inevitably I thought of age, from age to fossil, from fossil to dinosaur, to skeleton, back to fossil and back to rock (if any of that makes sense).
Using the supplied image I warped the biggest stone to more of an egg-like shape and used other smaller elements of the picture to create a base for it. Combining an image of dried earth warped with the liquefy tool to map the stones shape i tried to replicate the stone cracking. I also incorporated a less than scary image of a Godzilla statue and cropped and modified pieces of it emerging from the fossil in shade to appear more menacing.

Images of the night watchman (from Casablanca) and various background images were cropped to encircle the lone figure with a torch. Lighting and lens flare tools helped imitate the torches spotlight.

I probably went a bit off topic from peaceful pebbles along the shore haha

cheers guys
