Re: Challenge 777: How to Polychaete in Photoshop

Thanks Steve. I agree with you about Nessie’s wake but I had to stop at that point as I had run out of time before going away for a few days. There are a few other things that I would have liked to have changed.

As always I learned a lot from this animation so that was good.

Some wonderfully silly work from everyone.

Thanks Steve. The 'psychedelic' colouring in the mushroom entry is real. The moth/butterfly is really coloured like that!

Absolutely right. I have since thought of adding shading and then masking out some of the embossing, but I didn't like the challenge much, and wanted to get it finished. Sorry.

Thank you Steve.

And thank you Michael for sharing the pics of more Polychaetes. Ive been watching Youtube videos on them and some are pretty aggressive which shocked me as their little faces are pleading for love, protection and nurturing.

Im surprised that Pixar, Disney or Dreamworks haven't picked up on these little things and made a full length animation movie with them. They are almost begging for it!!

It was a good one - I wanted to do an early one to get round the colour issue but sadly they were all too few and too fuzzy - then I chanced on this black and white outtake

"Unnerving"...

Thanks Steve.
