May I Scream Now? (September 2004)

---

---

This is my scream. It can't be heard, but it's always there, lurking, trying to get out, powered by it's friend, the nightmare dog and held back by it's worst enemy, the toon fish. This one is a self portrait.

I started this piece by posing the man, the dog and the fish in DAZ|Studio, taking special care on the expressions I gave them. I exported them into Bryce, positioned them, changed the material of the toon fish and added some lighting. I also added some ice, and buried the man inside it for some added affect. I changed the color of the sky and lighting to achieve a toon feel, then I rendered the scene. I opened the rendered scene in Photoshop elements, where I erased the man's mouth using the clone tool and some patterns I created by sampling pieces of his face and neck.
