yup sxc is quite dead. Server is down.
Here’s the final version of mine:
I took out the lihgt streams and that thing in the corner. I also removed the ‘hood’ from the guy in the corner.
here is mine, not quite please with the composition, but achieved what I hoped to do.

the link is on the first page simplistik… I editted his post. I should have mine today.
I’ll give it a shot.
I can’t believe all the posts came this fast! really great work. This is gonna be a tough one.
mutedlogic, thats a cool picture, i saw something very similar to that in a big graphic design book in my school’s library but instead of chalk outlines, it was a junkyard full of demolished cars with little +'s telling something about each car.
I’m much more of a photorealist person so I’ll have a different style than all of you. Anyway, this is a little under 1hr, during my lunch @ work.
Edit: Got bored so I remixed it for fun.
Called “Laughing At The Pain” cause that’s the title of part of the poem that was put in there.
Also the boy is from the new Exorcist movie.
The poem isn’t meant to be read completely but here is the excerpt from it:
The dark before the moonlight,has my eyes caught in a daze,
it’s like a love without the passion,it’s an urge without the craze,
the feeling of couragesness brings all time to a standstill,
it’s a feel without the feeling, it’s a death without the kill,
Can I break these chains of an open book that binds me?
I like it sim. But it doesn’t even look like t he stock image… lol o well it just be me
That’s why it’s a photomanipulation I followed the rules… or lack there of
No one said the whole image had to be maintained.
true you do have a point Ilike it still lol
Great work. I really like the overlayed pattern. I didn’t know there was a new exorcist movie out. When did it come out? The Exorcist is my favorite book, therefore my name. The original movie is amazing as well. I’ll keep a lookout for the new one.
Ethan,
nice volley there man, I like the border. Just a question on the text, is it supposed to make sense?
Not trying to be a grinch, but Death is Life doesn’t make sense. Don’t want to be mean, just curious
It wont be out for a little bit ive seen ads for it so just wait a little longer ex and you shall have your movie.
“Death is Life” is a Biblical reference
It’s part of life :sigh:.
nice sim i like the cold? feeling - fitting with the subject matter 
actually in retrospect I think its much like current HP ads, which I really had no thought in emulating…this just came from a simple pattern I started with and tried to apply it throughout the work
