So over on the NAPP site photoshopuser.com every other week I am running a contest to take whatever starting images I give the members and turn it into a composite image of their choosing. It can be anything they like except they must have the rights to any elements/images that they use. The goal is to have fun and learn more about compositing along with getting free stock images from yours truly. This last week I gave them a bunch if textures that I took from a train yard in Alabama and I decided to play along and come up with my own image. The planet on the left is made from a rivet and a porthole and the bumps on the alien arm are from another set of rivets from another train. Could you tell I was watching MIB while I did this? :D

If you are a NAPP member you can check out my video review of the contest here:
