I love the water effect. Nicely done. ;) Oh how I miss the luxury of outdoor swimming pools.

WOW!!! does this guy have a name? are there more of this guy? is he a panther, or just a house cat?

Thanks for the comment. :)

Yep, his name is "Bad Karma". He's just a black housecat. He's my personal character, and the one most based on me.

As far as other pictures of him, there are actually very few. But that's something I hope to remedy as quickly as possible.

It's so summery! I especially like the composition/perspective :)

By the way - why 'Beefcake'?

Everyone I've showed this picture to has been amazed by it, as am I. This is just SO AWESOME it makes me wanna kick my mom right in the face (uhm, not really, but the ninjas made me say that.) This is just really cool.

Whoa! Awesome Photoshop....I have the program...BUT HOW DO YOU DO THOSE EFFECTS!!!!! damnit!

It took a lot of time, and experimenting, playing with layers. The water is about 7 layers, each performing its own task (highlighting, depth colour, light reflections, pool floor texturing, etc.). Just play and experiment.

Thank you.

It was mostly just experimentation, really. I'm no water effect master. I just spent a lot of time trying out different things, and then asking for input from Furrball.

She kept pushing me to make the water better, so I worked harder on it, and out it came.

Hehe. Yeah, it would rock to be in the sun, and in a pool, right now. Actually, I'd settle for a hot tub!

Thanks. The water effect took quite some time to do. :) And somewhere around seven layers or so...
