FanArt: Someday, you too may develop these skills. XVB

[VioletSkye]

I know what you may be thinking: "OMG, that thing is a friggin' masterpiece, I have no chance in hell at winning the Beach Volleyball contest now." Well, relax. I don't feel it necessary to completely destroy everyone else's chances at winning so I am not going to officially submit this. Also, I'm not really trying to showoff (although you can see why I'd be proud of this badboy) but rather I want to inspire others to work hard, keep practicing and remember that with some dedication to the craft, you too may be able to approach the bounds of my skills.

As you can see, this is far more complex and realistic than my last effort (which was still exceptional.) A few people have asked me if the clouds were actual images of clouds that I photoshopped into the picture. No way, that's not the way I roll. Believe it or not I did the sweet looking clouds from scratch using the SprayPaint function in MS Paint. Yep, you heard me right, MS Paint. Also the birds (realistic as they seem) are mere creations of the line tool. I meticulously and exhaustively (is that even a word?) studied different sand castle images in order to create something familiar but with a unique twist. I'd say I accomplished that goal well enough huh http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif Anyway, I encourage all of you to enjoy my work and feel free to ask me any questions you have on specific techniques I've utilized.

What an absolutely brilliant work of art! It's like looking at a photograph of people at the beach, only with more detail than any camera could ever capture.

Seven thumbs up.

[Wyndham]

I like it. Severed thumbs up.

My rant (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=116061&forum=11&15) has been answered http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif.

Perhaps one of the most relieving things to visit FanWorks since Ancient http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I would like to inquire into the nature of our victorious Newman's hair....the detail and coloring are impeccable, what method did you utilize to produce such astounding effects? And please, keep your modesty to a bare minimum....your praise is well deserved.

[Solstis]

This is so astpnishingly brilliant that my brain is incapable of describing it to my fingers. I am left in a turmoil of hashed out bravado and with the stinging bite of a masterful headache.

I typo in your onor.

Whoa!!! Slow down, I know your minds are in the process of being irrevocably blown to such an extent as to be literally rendered agog at the seemingly God-like talent flowing, nay exploding, from my being, but please try to remain calm. Breathe deeply and slowly. Don't try to take it all in at once but rather savor it's near inconceivable brilliance in small doses. Like making love to a woman (or man) you want to let the intricate details caress your soul as they uplift your spirit.

I'd like to thank you all for your words of admiration and worship, which of course was to be expected. I'd like to field TheyCallMeJoe's question about the luxurious, luscious, full head of Newman hair on our striking young warrior. Please understand that some tricks of the trade need to remain undisclosed (after all, the master can't reveal all of his secrets) but I will say that like the photo-realistic clouds, the hair was also masterfully crafted with the SprayPaint tool. I've probably already said too much, so I'll leave it at that.

[Nisshoku]

Dang...this is so realisitic and life-like....How do you do it?

[Scejntjynahl]

Exactly wha is she doing on the ground? Oo

[Dre_o]

Erm.....well...ok Violet, I'll go with ya!

Sensei! You must teach me your mastery!

[Jared_T]

...O.O Well I give up. Nothing I've been working on come close to this.. WAIT!!? I'm not eligible anyhow... I SHALL CONTINUE, and draw inspiration from what can only be described as perfection.

[navci]

Haha.
This just brighten my day.
Look at that lovely shade of pure cyan!
