Pretty good work, mate. That came out quite nicely, and I rather enjoy it. About the only odd bit is the towel at the end, which looks like a tent compared to the guy. I have no clue, however, how tricky that would be to edit out or resize properly, though.

My feeble attempts at useful criticism aside, excellent job.

Awesome.

The only thing I really noticed was if you look at the last 2 frames, when the blonde girl is suppose to grow taller, it doesn't look like it as much because the towel she is sitting on doesn't shrink.

That's... really something. I've tried to work out how this kind of thing is done, but it seems I have natural un-talent... and a dash of laziness...

Can you show any of the original you used, for comparison purposes? What software / tools did you use? I can see so few markers (except the few deliberate 'grow' kind of effects) compared to the usual with works like this... really impressive.

Thanks for all the kind words and honest critiques.

Re: The Giant Towel- Yeah. I new that was a bit odd, but the amount of effort to delete it just didn't seem worth it. I had spent more time than I wanted to already. I almost threw in some kinda excuse in frame #9 about the normal-sized girl (lucy) breaking out an over-sized comforter to replace the towel, but it read as lame then as it does now.

As to the image generation. Its all done with photoshop and the key is 'layers'. Take your subject (Sophie), draw around her with the selection tool and then copy & paste her into a new layer. Then go back to the base layer and paint (normally with the cloning tool) over her image to make it look like she was never there. That way when you manipulate the copied image of her you don't have to worry about the layer underneath. You can just focus on cleaning up her contours. As to that, use the selection tool and a one pixel feather (its a good start).

That said, the real key is picking your base photos. Not all photos make great collages... these are almost as good as I could hope for.

I've included an original vs. modified example below. Thanks again for the feedback.

I'd love to see a little BE thrown in the mix, but that was amazing! I've tried to make a collage before but the amount of effort and time it took was absolutely daunting! Kudos on some astounding work!
