custom work

Quite a long time ago I got a request for my Hungry Policemen image using deer. It was for a doughnut company to use as imagery for their business. I got the piece done, but I never heard back from them. Oh well...life goes on! I figured I should at least share it here though.

Rather than buy two or three more packs of deer (they're like $12 a pack), I decided to do a composite. This was actually the first and only time I've ever done a composite with my miniatures! At least I know now that I can do it.

final composite. I combined 4 images to get the doughnut full of deer.

I get a little crazy with all those strobes flashing in my eyes. 

I'm glad that I did this little piece, even though it never got used. It was good practice with Photoshop, and I got to eat a doughnut without feeling too guilty. Score! I really enjoy doing custom work. I actually have one that I need to get done now...perhaps this weekend.  

On a totally unrelated note, I watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time tonight. I am not a big fan, simply because I didn't see much of a point to it. I also rather enjoy the safe little bubble that I live in, and all the drugs in the movie really creeped me out. I'm not at all surprised that it flopped when it came out. 

Ok that's all...have a great night, everyone!

Thanks, Veronika! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that didn't like that movie. Apparently it's a "cult classic" so I felt like I was supposed to like it. ha!
