naturemorphosis - Croc Face

Naturemorphosis
There's a lot of "history" behind those images. You might wanna read everything at the bottom of the page.
"Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation".

Coming from "metamorphosis", most of my work features "as close as possible" realism in combining the human body with other elements.

My work tends to show the "in between state" of the metamorphosis process - where you still see the former state but can already imagine the final look. Think of it as the 50% state from tadpole to frog.​​​​​​​



- history -

Back then in 1996, Photoshop was at version 5.0 (Big Electric Cat) and the creative Web was at it's very beginnings. A handful of guys all over the world created/invented something like Photoshop Tutorials. We were only a few, to name them photoshopcafe.com, wastedyour.org, designsbymark.com, phong.com and, my very own domain naturemorphosis.com.

While photoshopcafe is still here (hey Colin!), wastedyouth created deviantart (yeah, right), designsbymark is away(?), phong is online (different now, but the archives are there) ... and i myself found an advertising agency in 1999 and naturemorphosis was kinda lost on the way.

NOW close to exactly 20 years later, it's time to bring back the imagery that build my reputation back then and led to numerous things like me being on the cover of New Masters of Photoshop - still proud.

Feel free to comment on the artworks, it's last century but imagine -
Photoshop 3+, no ram, no cpu, no diskspace, NO undo! :)
