Just something i’m working on. This is the smaller version but i’m thinking of making it a wall paper. ![](http://www.sintax321.com/pics/tlb.jpg) What do you think so far? ---

Man sintax, you’ve come a long way from the pixel stretchin’ forum bartendar phase. But as most of us know, you are the grunge king! I absolutely love this! ---

The BG is made from 2 different pictures of diffrent cement floors with some hue/saturation and blending modes and some brush layers i made. The light bulb is jsut a stock image i found that i figured would fit perfect. The fetus was a picture I found a year ago that i knew i would use some day. The chain was right from scratch just becuase it had to if it was to look right. Every thing is done in Photoshop, no 3D involved. Total time so far was maybe 2 hours at the most. Thanks for all the great comments guys. I guess it will be worth making a wallpaper out of. ---

definitely should be a wallpaper, no question! Has a really nice feel to it, and it took me a min to see it wasn’t just light inside the bulb. The only thing I noticed was the left edge of the bulb is a little harsh and isn’t blending in as well as the right. but the longer I look at the whole thing, the more I like it. I defintiely like it – nice work :thumb: Can’t wait to make it my background. ---

and secondly, i have to say that the chain is really good. I didn’t even realize you made that until I reread your post. That’s the right way to do it folks…take notes! ---
