good stuff, but the filters really take away from it.

The filter is the radiation, sorry you don't like it.
I see the application and it's ability as the mark making tool, I tried several filters and non filter attemps to get what I wanted, this came closest. I'm just getting to know the abilities of Photoshop.

I guess they never got to build their garage next to the house, it looks like they planned to.

The image is well done, but the filter is a bit 'glassy', but it tells the story, that's all that matters! =)

You're right about it being glassy, I wanted it to look like a radioactive wave lowering on plainville/dream house, but now I realize the wave should be happening in the space to the objects, not like a pane of glass infront of the image. Thanks for the comment, I was really proud of it... now I can see it's faults and am happy and have learned something.

I hope you didn't take offence, but I'm glad you've had an insight, I like experimenting with my art, you should too, I'm sure there's a way of incorporating that filter or any other type of artistic expression. Have fun man, that's all that matter when your being artistic/ doing what you love, I learned the hard way.

I was just thinking, making the roof melt away with burn marks and scorches and those orange/yellow cinders would give the viewer a better idea, and bringing down the angle/perspective with a nuke gong off in the background would look even more awesome-er-er! =D

Nope, love and need the advise.
I was planning a mushroom cloud in the backyard and had played with the perspective angling back at it, but went subtle. The pressure of the competition has been brutal... ;)

I was kidding, the competition has been exciting watching the drawing come in!
No small thanks to you... do you maintain this kind of focus on drawing usually?

I dunno how to answer that question...

I think...I think I have a unique disease =) , whenever I focus on something I becomes manic, I don't sleep or eat and rarely stop till I see results...My art suffers under me like that, I don't mind though, I have art and results to show for it, but I'm intensely impatient...so I'll never master things like realism, although I have had some good results with it.

In short: I draw as much as I can when I can..someone once said, do it, do it till it hurts and makes you sick and tired, but do it and reap the benefits.
