This is the first time I've used Photoshop as something more than a photo cropper and contrast increaser. Gradients and Opacity were fun to figure out as I went...
I originally drew this with pencil, colored it with colored pencil, scanned it, screwed around with saturation and hue in Photoshop, and cut-n'-pasted stock photos for the rest.
So. Speaking of science, here's a formula I recently had to work with:
Photoshop + Touchpad ----> Face Plant + 5(Bang head on table)
I have a feeling this would have been simpler and better if I had a tablet.
Caudate nucleus cut (and layered with opacity) from “Purple Glass texture”: [link]
Thanks so much! The second I re-read my biology book and found out what this section of the brain did, I thought... yeah. If this was possible, it'd be a best-seller.
Lets just hope the contest people think so too
