For this contest we'd like you to blow smoke in our eyes. Using a smoky effect to form your image, we want you to show us what visions you see when you stare into smoke. Think wispy wraiths, ethereal animals, vaporous fantasies, etc. We're looking more for the wispy type of smoke, not clouds or fog, so think incense, candles, cigarettes, chimneys and whatnot, and you get the idea.
The rules of the contest are thus: make smoke form into an object within your image.
Have fun, be creative, follow the guidelines please, and be careful to avoid using cliches. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count!
Note: As always, we encourage you to experiment and try your own techniques and ideas, but if you're looking for a place to start then try out the Ghostly Sight tutorial by Jopsa. Also remember the smudge tool and soft brushes at weak opacity are your friends.
Hit List:Skulls. Smoke a skull, risk disqualification.
