oooooh. A new toy. Looks great. I'll have a play when I have more time

Clever. In fact very clever. The push-stick is a great addition for me. As mentioned the way the letters move makes it all the more impressive on the eyes

Apologies to Drew and everyone else for not responding/ seeing his message and if I held up the competition. Complications after surgery left me hospitalised until this week. Interesting choice of theme. Sadly I don't have any pets and I'm sure my wife will take offence if I plaster her over the internet

Just the brass will do. I've got a steampunk image I'm working on but can't get it looking like I'd like.

I need glasses. I could have sworn that said PDN ECG. Still made my hear miss a beat. Stunning

Not having being around here much lately then popping in here - Phenomenal. Bravo

A tutorial for all aspects of that. From the brass to the wood grain ?

Congratulations Ishi and Maximillian. Everyone else too - top drawer again. Thanks Drew

Thanks Drew for adding the Urban Art bit Stock: http://www.livewallpapers.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/dancer-urban-art.jpg - with a few added tweaks. Namely the shadows Wall: welshblue's tutorial with MJW's texture shader Font: The Dark

Congratulations to everyone. Always great to see the different interpretations (and aww shucks - thanks)

Working on another entry I noticed the poll was up - just glad I'm not going mad and getting days mixed up No harm no foul just subject yourself to 2hrs water torture

That is very impressive. The reflections are superb. Very accomplished painting skills you have

Water spray brushes/ red ochre's sea tutorial and welshblue's metal text tutorial

After playing around with plugins, tutorials and brushes, a few images I'm not too ashamed to share amongst the talent and quality here. Larger images of some sotw entries with some tweaks. Please don't be afraid to be brutal - strong shoulders with a head wanting to learn

Congratulations doughty - a real backdraft feeling with it. Also congratulations to everyone, really top quality competition. Thanks Drew (and MJW - good to be back and functioning normally. If I've ever been normal )

Congratulations to everyone. Top drawer entries. bigger congrats to the winner MJW - the jewel in the crown Thanks for the work in hosting Drew

Thanks Barbie A few months of recovery from a broken leg and a shattered arm and wrist. Hopefully I can can start using a mouse again in a few weeks. Could have been a lot worse. On the plus side the only time I've been glad to have an unmarked police car behind me is that it was witnessed and the courts will do their bit and ban the idiot for years. My solicitor is already hitting his insurance company and hopefully they'll go after him for the payout I wonder if I can claim compensation for lack of using Paint.Net

Great entries and interpretation. Apologies for not competing in a theme I chose but unexpected thingss, mainly getting pushed off the road by some idiot on their phone and the resulting hassles got in the way of fun

Thanks and congratulations to everyone. Great stuff in there. Thanks Drew for the hosting. I've given Drew a theme but if it isn't everyone's cup of tea I'm happy for lynxster4 to choose one

Very clever use of a brush on the knitwear. Another portrait triumph

Nice to see you back. Nice tutorial and I think it's an Osteospermum aka Cape Daisy
