I don't know if you guys remember me. I used to be a very active member of this site, especially the GnA section, but I wasn't too talented, here's something I did for school. Just a quick image. CnC Stocks: Spoiler
Its bending as its pushing against the land. But i see a bit of a burn tool error i made, when i get back to school ill fix it. lol
Smooth the edges of the pencil. Fix the lighting on the pencil. Blur the pencil into the background more; I release it's your focal, but it can't be ridiculously more focused than the area around it. You should also consider subtly change the colors through the use of gradient maps to make the pencil blend into the area more.
You could blend the pencil in better. Also, I think it'd be more realistic with an erased trail behind it. Good lighting though. Also, you get better quality when you save in png instead of jpeg. Good luck!
Cool concept. I would think it would be much more interesting if you could make it so that it had started to erase a building in a city or something.
Reminds me of Spongebob.. although this is cool, I'm no photoshop pro, but what if there was a small shadow casted.
