March Madness

Don't get it?

Hint: March Madness refers to what college sport?

Now take that clue and you will know where I got the texture from that I made into my "skin".

Enjoy your Madness!

Although I am not totally thrilled with the results. I am quite proud that I got it this close to what I wanted. I have had this idea for awhile and have already tried it once several weeks ago. But I have been saving this for a March SP for some time.

Here is my first attempt from back in January (not used as a PaD) http://www.pbase.com/lundy/image/39222079 I like how the texture flows with the shadows better than my March one. But with this one I had not removed the textured layer from the eyes and glasses. So for that reason the March one is probably more to my liking.

I know that I am missing the texture around the edges but I did this QUICK. The setup, the tripods, the background, metering, the SP and the Basketball photos and the Post production Photoshop work was all done in an hour. I posted this one at 11:59!

Now it's time to go clean up so I can get in bed.
