Hi,

This is yet another GIMP manipulated image. Only one external source was used here.

The surgical effect you see on the person was achieved simply by using the gage transform tool in GIMP. I didn't know how I was going to accomplish the effect from the start. What I did was to pick the gage transform tool and click points along two parallel lines closed to each other, and then I started moving the points away from each other. I was surprised how the skin-cut effect started to appear itself.

For the fingers I used the iwarp and smudge tools.

I then used the capsules with the rectangle select tool with a corner radius at 50. The DNA strand was fun to make up.

GIMP can do anything imaginable.

I am happy to be here with you all.

Wow that is very cool. I guess you would call this guy a kind of Junkie, lol
Nice job.

Thanx Molly for your comments.

I feel like that's me, my doctor has me on so many meds I think that's all that's in me.

Excellent work josephbupe.

Cool result Joseph.

That is excellent, perhaps a tutorial would be possible.

for the opened chest effect you could have a look at GimpKnowHow's 'cat unzipping pout of a cat' video-tutorial

It's good work josephbupe but a little too gory for me to look at... even though there is no blood.
My favorite of yours so far... is the highway to heaven with the beautiful rainbow rays.
Really like that one the most of yours... so well done.
