I signed up to http://www.hangontoyourego.com for their mix-cd trade thing. right now, I'm working on the artwork for the cd.
here is one of the inserts:

thats a sweet picture

I actually just worked on it for 5 minutes more and made the gold fish a touch more saturated.
I need to have this mix-cd in the mail by this weekend so I will post the pictures as I do them.

did you cut and paste the colored fish over the black and white ones, or is there a way you can do that otherwise?

I took the picture and copied out the things I wanted to be color, doing a rough job, then I desaturated the background and erased the colored bits around the fish and the forest so only the fish themselves still had color on them.
then I took the b+w background and motion blurred it.
took about 15 minutes.
I'll update it with a cleaner and more saturated goldfish in a minute.

i get it
