Big Trouble

Here's another of those photomanips I was making and stockpiling over the holidays. Now you know why I've been hunting for photos of handsome, submissive-looking young men. You're damn right this image will have a follow-up! I've already done one and have plans for more. The problem is that these things can take hours or even days to create if you're as obsessive as I am. You might not even realize how many things I changed about the Susan Wayland photo I started with, but if you want to have a look, compare my manip with the first of the three photos in this old post. Now think about this: I did two or three times as much work on "Big Trouble 2." Sadly, a lot of that was self inflicted. I won't bore you with the details; I'll just say I hope I've learned my lesson about over-manipulating.

Anyway, I'll share that manip next weekend; but before I close this post, just let me call your attention to the fonts. I'm sure you noticed the changes in color, size, and typeface on your own; but just notice the beauty and perfection of that custom font. I went looking for something that combined a pseudo-Asian vibe with a cybernetic vibe, and I ended up with Orchidee from dafont.com. Granted, I could have gone with something more in keeping with the tone of Big Trouble in Little China; but this manip series is only very loosely connected to the movie, and that font was just too good to pass up.

Obsessive, remember? ;-)
