The Birdmen of Steemit: ATTACK! A collaboration with @everlove
The Birdmen are coming!!
It's been a while since I did a collaboration with @everlove and I have flipping missed them. So when the latest one came round I had to throw my hat in!
You can see the original post here. This was the picture we had to work with. Foxing heck. It's a toughie!
Almost right away I saw it, the wings! I quickly drew around them
But what would the wings fit on... A dragon, hmm no. Then it came to me, a birdman just like in Flash Gordon!!! I quickly sourced said birdman and banged my head on him. (To do this, I used an app called photo layers on android to separate out the images before pasting them together in PicSay pro)
Stuck on the wings
The good thing about using my head is that I don't have to worry about copyright or hurt feelings. That's my story and I am sticking to it ;0)
Now I needed a terrain for the Birdmen. I used the original piece again, taking a zoomed in crop and twirling it, before daubing a horizon line on and adding the bottom part under that line again with some hue and saturation adjustments. Oof, that's a sentence and a half
I added some blue sky from a photo using Pixlr Express at 80% opacity, the underlying texture giving that little oomph. Then stuck a castle on the lonely looking hill at the right
After that just splobbed in the Birdmen and for the title pic added some speech bubbles!
Whatcha reckon to the Birdmen, should we welcome them... Or...
CAAAAAAAAAAW. WE WILL DEFEAT THE MUDMEN!

They are incredible if I do say so myself!
I can honestly say I have ever seen anything like them
I fully understand, It's ok if you want a little quiet time to ponder them
I need counseling, my eyes hurt
Aye, I understand. He is probably watching and you have to say that.

Thank you for participating with such energy @meesterboom.
We can see Scotland from here. Superb artwork.
One really does wish the birdmen had not lost their kilts.....perhaps it could not be helped....it 's a battle out there. Of course.......now looking at those helmets perhaps they are from Viking territory.
All the best to you and yours. Cheers.
Kilts!! Dang it all. I knew there was something missing. Splendid idea @bleujay. I will try my best to incorporate them into the next one!
Of course......they are missing kilts...... ^_^
So very kind of you to give bleujay a hearing.......really it is superb...pay no mind to bleujay. Appreciate the opportunity to ponder these things and enjoy the fun you have brought to Steemit with your creativity.
Wishing you all the best.
If there is one person I will always give a hearing to on this platform my friend, it is you! Always appreciate you dropping by :O)
