Link to the original thread above. I have been playing around, doodling in photoshop as it were, with a couple things and got one to where I am done enough to not want to work on it any longer. It is not my fav but it is a start. A little photoshoppy in places but it's getting there. Thoughts?

Very cool looking work. I am trying to figure out how you did this and which photos you used. Obviously you used the girl, but how did you make that dress? It also looks like you used the van photo for the star design. Very cool...

Very cool, I'm liking the work you did. I haven't had a chance to play around yet...

The dress was done using a couple bits from the top of the hot air balloon, same piece used for the "curtains" on the side. The wood for the door, and then in smaller version for the parquet panelling, was done by taking a slcie of the painted detail that runs along the side of the van, motion blurring it to get the "grain" and then adjusting hue and saturation. So that is girl picture, van picture and balloon picture...3 out of 4 required. The necklace is actually a slice off of the building on the right of the pool picture bent into a circle using a polar coordinates distort to give me the fourth photo used.
