PhotoshopCafe Design Challenge 8 Entry #2 - Legend Blender

This is my final entry #2 for PhotoshopCafe Design Challenge. Ideas association came from "Blending Modes" to "Food Blender".
The conceptualisation and link up between blender and blending modes was the key. Searching for a blender picture proves to be the hardest possible task which led to me posting a photo request for the blender shot on SXC.hu. Mark Anderson (4score) took a great photo of a blender and gave it to me for the work. So kudos to Mark that this piece was finally made and done. Over 200 hours of work in tweaking, ideas, making and everything in it.
Have actually created a Blender entry previously, as you can see below, but decided to redo it, for a more game-ish and impactful feel.

Blend o' Street

This was originally my 2nd Entry for Design Challenge 8. The conceptualisation and link up between blender and blending modes was the key.
Have since abandoned this work for "Legend Blender" for a more game-ish feel.

This is my 1st and already submitted entry for PhotoshopCafe's Design Challenge 8. Sponge Achromatopsia, idea came "Sponge Tool", giving a tool a life of a character. "Achromatopsia" means total and complete colourblindness which is the association with Sponge Tool's desaturation abilities.

Who let the Birds Out?! Anti Woman Shopaholics (Battle with Barry Downard)

Many instances contributed to the eventual idea, i.e. The Shopping Cart, MK and etc... It was a battle with Barry Downard, a.k.a dogtrombone, to digitally story tell and do something with our individually chosen 3 images (total 6 images).
Gruelling battle project because Barry gave a high bar to match. Then again, its good practice for someone returning to photoshop after months.
My skills have not rusted yet, fortunately.
