I saw some manicured bushes as I was walking one day and took some shots of them, they looked animated to me, some gardener landscaper had given them haircuts and made them stylized. I wanted to do something with it so I developed a sort of old forties B-movie scenario with the bushes being the invaders from outer space and a fallen damsel. Anyway I had a barrel of fun doing it. Thanks for looking and have great New Year.The bush image had some hue and saturation done to it and was sized and duplicated and set in rows of six then that layer was duplicated as many times as necessary, all rows were scaled to a perspective. The flames were made with brushes and blended and dropped on separate layers and scaled. The floor was an original photo/perspective to fit. Dropshadows of the bushes were put in. The female is clip art which is blended to the floor. The space ship was added and the spot lights were drawn and colored.

I can see it….
The invaderes have become head burnt… because they could not stand the vision of that beautiful woman…. having made love to a male serpent..
Or was the serpent who had made love to her?
Poor ones….
nothing to do here….
Earth is attractive…
but dangerous for the alien bushes.

LMAO …. Funny – i was photographing bushes yesterday. I’ve contemplated repeating some kinda thang to create an invading horde too – you beat me to it! I love the heavily saturated, contrasty look of your stuff, and your sense of colour. Would love to see our photo-manip stuff hangin in the same room – you’d need sunglasses!
Oh my God I hope we both don’t have a premonition about bushes taking over the earth and ya if we were both in the same room with our work hanging the mental police would have us carted away. Happy new year to you.
