lol
Thanks to you londero !
This avatar took me some hours of hard work to achieve 
Don’t thank me to post on your thread, this is deserved : your work is very insteresting and original, especially the mix technique with analog and digital. I’ve not seen many works like yours in the competition. Very fresh and inspirating, as i said. :bowdown:
For the water effect i used a special tool of Painter 8 : the distortion tool with the “thin distorto brush”.
I proceed like this : i paint some loosy blue/green colors for the surface and i use this famous tool to “pull” the ripples in the wanted direction. The “grain” parameter adjust the power of the effect.
After that i drop the opacity and i add some foam with the FX “glow” tool (with some jitter). I use the thin distorto with the foam too, to help it following the ripples.
I’ve also added some reflection of the city background…i’ll post a close-up later.
I don’t know if the “thin distorto” effect exist in photoshop, but if it exist, i’ll be happy if someone tell me how to achieve it.
oh…and the details in the precedent image are not finalized. I think i’m gonna sharp the flesh and add some underskin machinery to achieve a better mix between the metal part and the body.
