When I started doing amateur graphic designing and photo-manipulations, these are the guys that inspired me to take up photo manipulations and invest in manipulating skills.  I'm posting their work here for further creative enlightening and for all  to see and be inspired as well.

While I was Forum hopping today, I went to PinoyDen.com and met an old acquaintance from another forum I was frequenting. He then asked me if I could make him some graphics concerning the site's DOTA (Defence of the Ancients) team. I made my way to google and searched for a Drow Ranger image and found the stock you see now. I then used Resurgere's stock on the background and a few brushes set it on the canvas and made a few tweaks and blurring, Voila.. Aim True and Maim was born.

A watery grave, originally uploaded by jinkaiser13.

After a few months of hiatus, a new piece has emerged! (though the stocks are old, YAY!) It took me awhile to find stocks suitable for this piece, blame my ISP, it turned out good in the end.

I used a couple of sinking ships found on google and used an old sea stock as a backdraft to the chaos happening on my piece. Look at the wonders a few adjustments and a soft brush and a few masks can do.

Why a watery grave? I've never ridden a boat before and I'm too scared to travel on one mainly because I fear the vast seas,  hence I did a piece on what I fear, ships sinking in the middle of the cold sea.
