Image done for the Digital Favelas Mattepainting Competition hosted by Mattepaint.com and D2Conferences.
The client over here(the competition, and abit of myself) required us to break down existing winner's image and recreate into something new. I think it's crazy because you are basically trying to do 2 things. 1. trying to produce something better than what has been done by the past winner. 2.using limited resources to create something entirely new.
That being said, a challenge/competition wont be one if it doesn't push your limits. So I took on the challenge and create something that I myself wouldn't think it would be possible at first, using purely Photoshop. The outcome? something entirely new and different, and hopefully great in other's eyes :)
