Artist's Comments

This is the first image from my freak series and is, of course, John ‘The Elephant Man’ Merrick.

I am certain that most know of Mr. Merrick and at least something about his life. The text was taken from various sources and rewritten with some embellishment.

T_Gar must be credited for his fabulous stock images. The frame was also stock from Deviantart but I have lost the link. If anyone knows it, please let me know so I may credit then for their work. Regardless, the original was heavily manipulated to get this result.

I am not sure if I am going to keep the rats as they don’t seem to blend that well.

I look forward to some feedback.

I LOVE it! I would keep the rats...they are nicely placed and have good color. I would perhaps blend the bottom rats into the background a tad more but aside from that it is BEAUTIFUL! I am so happy to see you here on DA! Very talented you are!

Aw shucks, thanks.
I have actually only been working with photoshop for a few months.
And thanks for the feedback. I am thinking that those bottom rats have got to go, but I'm going to keep the white fellow.

You were right! It looks better without the bottom rats. Good call!
