Actually this weird guy here is very alive. ...or at least was year ago. Positioning could have been better. For me the backround is the most interesting part because there I tested some multiple effects together.
Ok, ok... I tell ya. Backround was some kind of landscape I tortured couple of times to get it in this shape. Then I edited that seafella and put it's blend mode to "burn". Then I just left him up there. The twirl is just image I edited with "radial blur". And that's all, just three elements here. Somehow the creature doesn't look very alive any more after editing so there I found the name.
I got this one on voting booth :D, I thought it MIGHT be one of yours, I was right. and I think it seemed like some see thing :D. that stuff on the very left is cool well same stuff as in the right down corner. nice!
