Personal photomanipulation with my own stock, except for the boy: http://auroradreams.deviantart.com/art/Oliver-14-72252895

 

I walked for months with the idea of creating a tophat as a hotel. Took me long time till I finally figured out how I wanted to create it...should I draw it all...should I photomanipulate it? After several dissappointements of finding the right stock on the net I decided to look for my stock during my walks in the forest. I finally found great objects to photograph. The dragon head is actually a whole piece of treebark. I did not have to create that part, except for the nose, so I was lucky.
