Removed the lady from the clouds, (it was included for the contest, not so necessary now). Also sharpened around the face.

Before I begin I would just like to give out a huge shutout to all the people who helped me out. Either by supplying stock, giving out PSD's, writing brilliant tutorials or hosting great contests.

Lyrics + Song

Infected, by Bad Religion
(it's a rock song!)
I just noticed something, I first heard this song on Guitar Hero which has like 100% differant lyrics then what's bellow. You can check it out by clicking the link at the end of this song.

Now here I go,
Hope I dont break down,
I wont take anything, I dont need anything,
Dont want to exist, I cant persist,
Please stop before I do it again,
Just talk about nothing, lets talk about nothing,
Lets talk about no one, please talk about no one, someone, anyone

You and me have a disease,
You affect me, you infect me,
Im afflicted, youre addicted,
You and me, you and me

Im on the edge,
Get against the wall,
Im so distracted,
I love to strike you,
Heres my confession,
You learned your lesson,
Stop me before I do it again

Youre clear - as a heavy lead curtain want to drill you - like an ocean,
We can work it out, Ive been running out, now Im running out

Dont be mad about it baby,
You and me, you and me,
I want to tie you, crucify you,
Kneel before you, revile your body,
You and me, were made in heaven,
I want to take you, I want to break you,
Supplicate you, are incurable,
I want to bathe you in holy water I want to kill you,
Upon the alter, you and me, you and me

Thanks lyricsfreak !

You can hear the song here on Youtube, (the guitar hero version).

Description
The above song really inspired me in this piece, though I tried to use it as a guideline rather than a rule of what I should create. Anyway I'm really proud with how this came out. There are some things I'm not happy about, like the fact that sparks would come out of an open wire not lightning, and that the right arm is freaky. Though a lot of effort was put into this, and I think it all shows. This really times well with $lolly 's giant watch orgy, gives all those new watchers something to see I hope you all like it, and if you do scroll down a little bit and show some love to all the generous deviants who helped me bellow. I also entered this in quite a few contests, so wish me luck!

Stock
As I've said about 50 times, (boy I'm annoying!) I got a bunch of help in this piece. Be sure to check out the pages of all the people who helped out!

All the the male models where supplied by *wookiestock , the middle guy is Wookiestock: Talkin to me? , the guy on the side, (the one that has a bunch of blur on it to symbolize motion) is Wookiestock: Talkin to me? 3 , and the almost invisible one to the right is Wookiestock: Talkin to me? 2 . You can support him by using my Wookiestock Stamp!

~oceanyork 's "I-york Tutorial" really helped me create the main subject in this piece, and get those creative juices flowing. You can check out his art here , and the tutorial here .

I got stuck while working on the main injured subject, I just didn't get how to do cuts. I tired over and over, and just plain died. But someone helped me, and that was *zerogalaxy . I was expecting him just to drop me a little line about how to do it, but he went out of his way to send me an intire detailed PSD where I could see how he did EVERYTHING. If you this piece, go to his gallery and something of his too.

Strange Vein Action , by ~Bsword instantly gave me a cool texture to the main body.

ULTIMATE guide to Extracting by ~nureen really helped me cut out the body with crisp, sharp edges.

Demi-god photographer =Nullermanden uploads PSD files which show what color correction he did in photoshop, (you can download them at ~Nullerpsd ). These curves really helped me create the zombie look to the main subject!

When set to overlay mode, `hameed 's Space Dust Cloud stock helped create that cool texture to the skin.

I downloaded ~WallStorm 's latest set of actions X3 vol 4 . One of the actions is "Alien Water," I was picking through the layers and one of them creates a cool pattern of motion lines, I instantly dragged them into my piece, (you can see them as tiny strait lines all around the picture).

The background and smoke was all created using Stephan Burn's book "Advanced Photoshop CS2, Trickery & FX." This offered step by step tutorials on creating everything I needed. Go to your local bookstore and check it out

Lightning Brushes by the awesome =Scully7491

Cloud Stock 01 by ~ssecret-stock are the main puffy clouds at the top, Cloud stock 03 just added extra texture.

*Not Used in Version 2
It was late, and I was tired. I began using By Herself ? by *roge-photo as stock. I was writing up the description and noticed it wasn't stock! I noted him and asked if I could use it as stock and he said it was ok! Thanks! I really think the model fits well in this picture!

To create the final color touch ups I used Nik color efex pro 2.0, of course I can't afford the full version, (which is $250 dollars!) so I had to clone out the word "Demo" about 50 times.

Time
About 4 strait days of work, across the period of a month.

PSD
The PSD is about 42 mg's, which is too big for DA to upload. I'll see what I can do though

Contests
I'll update this with contest info soon, got a bunch of tests to study for now.

And one more thing ...
FAQ #18: Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?
Haha ... joking
