When An Artist Gets Bored

While all the images in this video were astounding, I'd say the banana which turns in the head of a snake striking was very interesting. For example, if someone had an allergy to bananas or something flavoured like banana making a banana see as dangerous as a snake.

Typically using Photoshop you would begin with two images, in the case of the "banana-snake" the two images would be a snake and a partially peeled banana. Parts of the snake that won't be used would then be cut off in preparation for the merging with the banana.

Next the colors would be matched accordingly usually fading from light to dark (meaning the banana to the snake. If everything was properly blended and contoured, it should look as convincing as the image in the video clip in the Mary Ward Communication Blog (sans the blur where the 2 parts meet of course).

Paul, my amazing white dude friend. You have a bit of spelling and grammar errors in your blog. Not to be a poo or nit-pick but you should fix it up before getting powell to see it.

Besides the fact I think the banana snake makes no sense to me. You know maybe if it was in so game where you grab a banana but it's actually a snake inside it would be pretty cool. Anyways just delete this post if you want.
