Description
... as per the contest criteria, I need to cite my sources:resource: diamond plate
stock: dwarf hamster
... but okay...
... I usually don't make it a practice to do photomanips, but this little devART contest had me going from the start, so I had to make something just for the heck of it... hey, shove me in a cardboard box with a few limitations and I promise that I'll make you giggle...
... or snicker...
... or shake your head...
... I knew exactly what I wanted to do as soon as I saw the contest invite... it only took a matter of time to find the stock/resources to make it real...
... I'll be right with you as soon as I beat this boss...
... A B A B Up Down Up Down Select Start...

... I could write an entire thesis on "the psychological significance of chasing mushrooms in video games", but then I'd be branded as a heretic...
...
... and if you think about it, that's gotta smart...

Heretic or no, that's one thesis I'd read straight through...

... I wanted to put little rocket fins and a jet exhaust on the egg, too... but then that would've blown the "stay inside the template" rule...

... yeah I know... at first I had the controller facing him, but it just didn't look right (it looked like he was holding box of animal crackers) so I found a front view of an NES pad on Google Images and pasted it in...
... thanks for looking!

That is phenomnal my man! I really am impressed with it! If i could make one suggestiont hough it would be to find a photo of an egg and overlay it on teh dimanond plate to add some final dimensionality. But for a photo manip I haev to say this is really high end!

... I forced it to be a little more flat, only because I was dealing with flat "found" images and the hamster just didn't have the look I wanted when I comp'd it on the curved surface of the egg...
... gotta admit, though... that new "warp" tool in Photoshop CS2 is so cooOOOoool!!
