Perhaps you've seen this one in a previous thread of mine, perhaps not. It was originally two different pictures.



Me and my son racing in 12 Hours of Temecula last June, with the pics shot by the good folks at egofoto.com.

Do the pictures have to be bike oriented, or can they be anything?

This is the one that took the most work. Not much reslution to work with, but that's where consumer digital technology was in 2000.

The fishnets were 'handmade" line by line. The flowers on the headbadge and helmet and the happy faces were also handmade one at a time.

Not everybody notices the missing teeth, earring, moustache, painted fingernails, etc. either.



And here is the original file:

Original photo





Photoshoped version






I made that back in 2006 when I was just learning photoshop, so it isn't very good.
