Contest 219: Out of body experience
I had a commission last week from an Italian news magazine, to do a cover about how the head of the United Nations is showing very little international presence. What they wanted was for me to portray him at his desk, on the phone, but as an empty suit - so the man inside was missing. This turned out to be a tricky job indeed. I ended up combining the two body parts shown here (so I could patch the missing hand areas) and of course added a suitable desk, chair and background. Would you like to have a go at this one? I'll show you mine if you show me yours! High res is here.  |

Gerard, I have this feeling that the Oval Office idea has been thought of by many on the forum.......can't think why, though!!!! _________________ Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. |

Steve are you explicitly saying that we must provide a suit without a man, or do we have some "artistic" licence here?  |

Posted below You always see elements you should have seen after posting the image. I forgot the reflection of the telephone wire. |

Meltonian, I'm going to lock you up until you tell me how you did the ends of your sleeves!! That's a brilliant image, well done. And Brewell that's a really cool idea!
Everyone is doing so great, and I had murder with mine.  So much so, in fact, that I took the cowards way out eventually, because it kept turning out lousy in the larger images I tried. 
I'll have another go later in the week at my original idea, this one is tragic, feeble, miserable, low grade ... well you get the idea. 
Steve I'm dreadfully sorry, but I totally stole your .psd file from the book disc as the basic book image. I looked for ages for a good base image but I couldn't find one, so... apologies for the cheat! The picture opens too large for posting here, so please click here for it instead. |
