Great cover Kernie! Now let us fight for the cover site battle royal champions. Really like your "Three Kings" cover.

Thanks everyone! :D :D :D

I had no idea that I was going up against such heavy firepower this month... wysmommy, euroboy, invisigoth, Nightrider, and MovieMonster! That's an all-star line-up right there and I'm so pleased that they all took the time to submit such amazingly awesome designs!

Firstly, a big congrats to you kernie on another outstanding cover and a great win, I think you may get a record like Jack Nicklaus in the majors, one that won't be broke :)
And yes it had my #1 vote as well.
Secondly, wow what names there were in this comp, some of the real big guns came out to play, and what beautiful covers they created!
Thirdly, I'm humbled to be mentioned in the same sentance with the these guys and gal, that right there feels like a win! :D

excellent cover congrats

Thanks for the link, wysmommy! Some great little tricks in that tutorial that I hadn't considered until now! I'll definitely be trying out some those techniques in the future!! :D :D :D

I appreciate you sharing this with me. I was very intrigued by the way the Austin Powers characters were cleaned up, and it's obvious that you spent some serious time cleaning them up manually. I knew it wasn't as simple as running a filter over it, but I wasn't exactly sure what you had done! :D :D :D Excellent work!!

I originally began cleaning up images and learning the HDR/Cinematic effect by using Lulu's image improving tutorial. It is a great tut. This one is almost identical to hers. Might even be where she got it from. ;)

Cinematic Effect


However, venome is correct. As of recently, I go beyond that tutorial, and put a a great deal of time and effort into cleaning images. I will send you a pm, kernie. :thumb:

Someone mentioned Lulu's image improving tutorial which is brilliant! but i know wys goes beyond that and puts a huge amount of time and effort into cleaning images, something i want to perfect as well. :D
