Photoshop challenge.

[shilala]

Here's the .psd file.

Here's the challenge...
Take the squiggle graphic and make something sweet. Desktop-worthy is the goal.
Although bewbies would be a nice touch, I'm not sure how you'd work them in.
Extra points awarded for imagination, wow effect and for telling me how awesome I am.

Here's my effort.

Let the battle rage on.

(Here's the squiggle graphic in .jpg for non-photoshoppers to see)

It's real. My cat coughed it up.
I've got it set on my desktop now and it looks sweet. It's very resolute and super deep. Make sure you look at it full size, you can even see a few partially digested mouse eyeballs in there.

enough random 3rd party filters on that thing?

Third party filters, actions and self-built macros, actually.
It's fun to dick with layers and filters. That finished deal is just a crop of the squiggle. I used a number of actions to change the graphic, overlaid them, used autofx mystical lighting (newest toy), deeppaint plugin, and lots of photoshop.
I just scrambled stuff up and moved things around until something looked neat and grabbed a little chunk of it for a desktop graphic.
I was hoping some of the folks who play with that stuff would make something of the like.
You can create much the same with just photoshop and free actions you can find on the intersne.

Cliff Notes:
1. No, probably not.

Your source picture sucks. I predict this thread is going nowhere. You should also stop editing pictures digitally if you think that lens flares are a good way to enhance an image.

Way to back up your lip with some effort. My lens flare beats your assholiness by a longshot, dickwad.
Oops, did I say that?
Geez, I'm sorry.
