Fifth round competition......

[Shazzoir]

Hope this works, have never posted a pic before...

Here's my attempt, folks. Background photo was taken last year up at Bulli Pass, near Woolloongong, and I always thought it was a bit creepy with all the fog about... I tweaked a couple of source pics to get the Yowie. This is the large version - the 185x60 version is below it, if that makes a difference.





Am loving the art that has gone before - WOW!

...hey YL1... Seeker... thanks guys... the eyes are... (as somebody once said)..."the windows to the soul" ... as I see it... if you get the eyes right... that's the hardest part done with ... the rest is easier I have always found...

...hey Shazzoir... nice entry... I love the misty background... great photo!...you're certainly right about the "creepy" feeling about the mist... the photo captures it very well... and welcome to the AYR Forums... have fun and enjoy posting like the rest of us... you can post as many versions as you like so keep them coming... they are great to see ... cheers... Stickyfingers.

...for absolutely no other reason whatsoever other than for the fact that I am a total idiot ... ( and a tad bit intoxicated ) I've decided to post this FUTURE... revised sticker of the Yowie as he is after being discovered five years earlier and introduced to the world of "civilisation" ...and because he has now been "educated" by all the appropriate nabobs... he has eventually surfed the Internet and typed in "Yowie" in Google... and having discovered that AYR is obviously the best Yowie research sight in the entire world... he has become a worldwide ambassador for AYR and everything that this website stands for!!! ... hence the sticker!!!...



...(the luxurious mansion in the background is supposed to be his that he bought with the money that he made from touring the world like a rock star)!... this one was pure fun to do ... cheers... Stickyfingers.

...hey YL1...nice work my friend... after spoiling us all with your brilliant Avatar... I keep waitting to see the Yowie blink!!! ... I like the colouring of your sticker... I can see it jumping out at me... great stuff YL1... cheers... Stickyfingers.

[Yowielover1]

lol...I like it because it scares me

It would spark interest on the back of a car and small kids would probably scream

Though only one picture can win the comp, there are many pictures here that can be used in other areas of the new revamped website...I have no problem with this image being used somewhere else.

Awesome YL1 Scary is good. It took me a while to work out what "minor changes" you made to it.
There's the next competition I think. Trev

[Yowielover1]

Thanks Aussie Trev. Now with larger lettering...and thats me done. Was fun trying and I did learn some more about this CS3 program.

I love the work you do on hair Sticky. I was wondering how you do that. I would like to do work on the hair of my yowie but as yet am unable to find the right tool to add to it.

[Yowielover1]

Discovered blur tool and fixed right tooth a bit

...thanks YL1... I did the whole "Yowie" sketch with first... a program called... "Corel Painter Essentials 3" ...and used an... "oils opaque round" ...paintbrush on a 3.1 setting... if you don't have this program... what I just told you may as well have been written in Swahili ... it's a great program... (I had it given to me as a birthday present with a Wacom Bamboo writing tablet... by my stepchildren... man am I spoilt) ... you can use pastels/Oils/Watercolours etc etc ... I then did some clean up work with Photoshop 7... I know that the answer that Iv'e given you doesn't do your question any justice... but I'm not sure what else I can tell you my friend to explain any further ... sorry mate... cheers... Stickyfingers.
