Mikhail's PhotoImpact Fun Page

... and so the story begins. This is sort of a combination "just for fun" and "yet to be filed" page. Click on the thumbnails below to see the projects -- which are prefaced by brief descriptions as to how they came about.

          Poodle Mobile was made in response to a series of postings at Stephanie's PI Message Board depicting people's pets driving around in comic vehicles. A couple disparaging remarks had been made about poodles in some of the posts, so in jest, I brought a longtime companion from my past, St. Jean de Monique, to the defense. Beware of the Bubble Cat was an accident for the most part. I was trying to superimpose the face of another former pet, Sebastian, over a lion head door knocker, but I wasn't pleased with the results. I started playing around with some of PhotoImpact's bubble effects ... and wallah! Some have described this graphic as a fish eye's view of a menacing cat.

     The first graphic below is the result of working on Stephanie's tutorials for making thin lines typically associated with television screens. The background is a photo I took on Palomar Mountain a few years ago -- and no, I can assure you that there are no tigers there. The one pictured here is from a photo taken at the Detroit Zoo decades ago. The other graphic, Party Animal, features another animal from my Detroit Zoo collection and uses a photo of a former residence for the background.

     The first graphic below consists simply of several puffballs I made as PhotoImpact Objects. I really had no idea of what to do with them -- although I do think they were used  effectively in the background of the second picture. Anyone have other ideas?
