a card for my less traditional friends ;-)
these are a famous pair of legs where I live.

process...
there are three copies of the photo. the first layer is the photo unaltered. the second layer is a sketch of the photo with the legs masked out. the third layer is a copy of the photo with just the legs and shoes with a drop shadow on the shoes. all of these layers were merged and clipped to most of the layers that come with the ALT. some of the transfers from APP Blitzen are added over the template layers. for this page, i deleted the frames and a few of the stain layers that come with the template. next, i messed with the lights until they looked okay. i tried bending them but they are not really good subjects for that technique so i kept the lines of the original files. the taped textures are added to the building and the background. i added the word art, my name, and it was done.

Thanks for looking
