Yea I did incorporate some manipulation in this. I did finish mine today and will be sending it to CQ.
I want to thank everyone for their participation and really getting involved in this. It was a blast honestly. Thank you CQ for hosting the event and I would like to wish the other two artists good luck. I especially appreciate the more difficult theme for the finale. It really gives us a chance to flex our art muscle and really see what we can come up with. I can't wait to see the other entries!
