Did you ever notice how often Kim's hair gets wet on a mission,
and then in the next scene it's dry again? There must be an
aweful lot of downtime for Team Possible where Kim is drying her
hair out!

That would also make sense why Kim would have Wade make all
her gadgets do double duty- it's not like she's hiding her identity
from anybody anyway.

Poor Ron & Rufus though! they've got to get bored- well Rufus at
least. We all know Ron likes the flippy hair ;D

Oh...my god. That background is just...

And Ron, oh Ron - I love his adoring gaze! You've got him spot-on!

And Kim and Rufus look teh awesomeness! Must fave!

i lover the backround and the weekly wonder magazine!!

You mean the hair dryer works like an actual hair dryer?

[teztor123]

Great pic.

If I recall correctly ... which I may not ... when Kim was first given the hair dryer she said she didn't use one, that she just toweled dry.

KP being perfect ... she's got perfect hair too ...

I'm not sure if the hair dryer actually works or not ...

[Carbon]

thanks guys! -

haha- I think in one episode she did say that she used the hairdryer to stop a mudslide from wrecking a village? so I assume it works! :-D She did say she uses a towel too I remember that, good memory

[Lord FunkyHoof]

Wow that looks killer, great work!

Keep these creations forever in your permanent portfolio, Carbon.

They'll sure help when you turn pro and go for a job!

Fantastic work!

PS

This is being saved for my next months' desktop! ;D

Be careful about what button you push!

Kim: "Hold on a sec, Ron. I need to dry my... *KA-THWAP*

Ron: "Ooo-ooooohhh... That's gonna leave a mark!"

Love the colors gradually melting into one another in the background there, though the whole picture is gold.

[ViridianSin]

AMAZING! The background and Kim and YEE! Nicely done.

[trombe]

Ron looks so entranced by Kim's Flippy hair.

Lol.

Great job.

[Loser7]

Well, you already know how awesome I think this pic is.

So, how did you get the textures for the log Kim's sitting on and the sea foam?

[lisalefteye954]

the background is just amazing and i always wondered what down time was like for team Possible

[Yamal]

Great pic! Nice work. ^__^

[Carbon]

Thanks everybody again-

GrandpaRD- haha thanks let me know your resolution if you want I can try to make a better
fitting version of it for you if you'd like.

L7 (gonna talk in photoshop-ese here, let me know if this doesn't make sense)-
for the driftwood-
I filled a layer with the "pattern" fill bucket setting, I think I used
the "rock wall" pattern. Then I tinted it the color I wanted using the "foreground" (standard)
fill bucket setting and I think I selected the color I wanted and changed the mode from "normal"
to "muliply" and fiddled with the opacity and tolerance until I got the shade I wanted.

Then I took that layer and did Filter>Distort>Liquify on it and
smeared it around until it was how it looks above- kind of wood-
grain-ish.

Next I used the shape maker/line tool to make the grey colored
lines, I made 4 or 5 straight lines, put them all on the same layer,
then did the Filter>Distort>liquify again, to smear them around a
little bit. Next I merged these two layers (smeary pattern and lines on top of them)

After that I selected the log's pixels on the original image, and
then inverted the selection, went back to the layer I just made
(that was solid pattern at this point) and erased all the pixels
that werent' inside the "log" shaped selection, So I ended up
with a layer that is just the log itself. After that I locked that
layer's transparancy and shaded it.

For the sea foam, I made a new layer and used
Filter>artistic>sponge, and then used
Image>Transform>Perspective to angle it to make it look a little
like it matched the angle of the water rather than just being flat.
Finally I did the same Select/invert selection thing on the BG to
get just the sea-foam part, and then went back to my texture
layer and erased the rest of the part that wasn't Sea-foam.

I think if I follow really closely- I can understand what you said. The tool>tool>tool type of explaining always helps alot. Thanks so much carbon ;D

Money!

Seriously though, Awesome work.

I could say, it's a cartoon, and they're not going to pay attention to wet-hair continuity, but that would be saying that Disney animators are lazier than Ben 10 animators! (see "Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures" for one)

[Carbon]

hah- well no I wouldn't exactly expect them to animate everything that way, actually I like the way it is now, but it is a little bit funny to think about anyway.
