Hi,
Do you already know Frank Mistbringer?
No? Oh that's a shame! ;-) He is really a friendly guy and he always does a great job at the discotheque near his forest, where he is responsible for the fog on the dance floor.
Frank is an ancient forest spirit. When he's not working in the discotheque, he loves to hike in the woods. Wherever he wanders, a thick mist follows him.
This is very important for the forest. Because the mist then sinks to the ground and wets all the plants with fine dew. So they don't dehydrate even in dry times.
That's why all the plants and animals in the forest love him.
Sometimes the turtle females mistake him for a pack of male turtles. But he always takes it with humor and then laughs heartily when they whistle after him.
The local forester thinks he's a stoner, because of the mist around him. Frank thinks that's funny. So he always sings "Damdam dam dadam... I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night, I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright..." when the forester is currently nearby, just to annoy him. Frank is a very fast one (16 legs ^^) and the forester never got him.
This is my contribution to the LMAC Contest Round 53.
Material sources
The rules of the contest state that the template photo below need to be the starting point of the collage.
In order to be able to create Frank's body, I stole some animals' body parts.
Additionaly, I replaced the background surroundings. I took all material sources from Pixabay. These photos are free to use.
I did a lot of manual modifications, like drawing shadows&lights, the mist, the changes on Frank's face and many, many other details. Yes, maybe too much for such a simple collage. But I love what I do, when I do what I do. :-D
List of material sources
- Amazone river, used for the background surroundings.
- Cobra, used for the neck.
- Buddhist supreme patriarch, used for the face (I changed some facial attributes.)
- Impala, used for the horns.
- Turtle. I needed two feet for Frank.
Creation process in one GIF
I'm sorry for the poor quality of the GIF. I had to compress it very heavily because of the many frames.
Viele Grüße / Best regards
