if you're not content, I can upload the PSD.

of course, the extensions to the wall and everything else is pretty much source.

No need. Ya did good. Congrats kid.

thank you very much. likewise.

some grand external work there

thanks. I always try to have an even amount of external and source work in my chops. I like integrating existing images into others, unless I'm doing an all-source chop.

Anyway, I feel bad about replying to your guys' posts here, so I created a thread were everyone can do what you guys are doin' without fear of running a topic off course. Have at it, whomever would like to say some nice things about other people's work or if you would like to request sources, PSDs, etc., go here. http://photoshopcontest.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=158735#158735
