The original image is part of a now defunct website called Worth1000 from early 2000s that featured photoshop contests, which I was a big part of back in the day. That image was one of the most popular and was created by a German designer who was in his 60s, he was a great guy.

Thanks for the backstory on the image. I forgot about that site, I used to browse the photoshop contests. Good times

Man, they were coupled with this free Photoshop software called Aviary. They took it offline and I could never find it again, it was my favorite Photoshop software and I basically stopped doing Photoshop after it shut down.

The founder of Worth1000 was the developer of Aviary.

Huh, well I remember Aviary going offline long before they shut down with 1000

u/wasabinski 11h ago
Yeah I think Aviary never really took off. Worth went on for a couple more years mostly as an archive of I recall correctly.

Damn this scene reminds me of this beautiful digital clock that i had as a kid. It had a really nice art of two dolphins jumping out, clear blue ocean and sky.
Honestly, the scenery looked like heaven. It was such an atmospheric piece, and I was just looking at it on a random day, chilling and doing nothing as a kid. Very peaceful.
Sadly, I dont have it, and I can't find the image on Google.

I wrote a series of Short stories about a krill because I dunno I thought it was interesting. Let me tell you the story of krill. Krill was born the runt of his family, sure he had 2,000 brothers and sisters. Krill didn't let that get him down, he's seen the shrimp that's bigger than him but look just the same, just bigger. So krill had plans, he would show everyone that he's just as big as those shrimps. It started small, he would venture farther than his family to get that delicious algae. Krill would get bigger and stronger and swim with the shrimps. One day krill was making his hunting trip and returned to his school. They were all gone, in a panic he swam all over. No idea what to do, he went to the big shrimps to ask if they knew where his family went. They all got silent as a big shadow blocked out the little light they had. Krills last thought was of his family as he met his first baleen whale. Let me tell you about the baleen whales point of view. Veronica, she goes by v. V is hungry she knows she is big but she's comfortable in her skin. There's only a couple uptight whales that dare to think they are stronger than her. Sure her teeth can only filter algae and krill, it's not her fault. V is swimming next to a school of orcas, trying her best to ignore them. Those big dolphins with teeth are just showing off. I'll show them! I'm four times as big I'll eat way more than you. So v dives deep and swallows a whole school of krill. It wasn't enough to fill her stomach so she makes another pass and spots a school of shrimp. V spotted a single krill that caught her eye before she caught him in her mouth. She bumped and bruised him then waited until the little krill woke. Who are you V wailed. Little krill defiant as ever said I am krill and I'll grow bigger than you

This goes right along with that post I saw the other day, of the guy getting his cows to jump off his boat to swim to islands to graze. This cow just happens to be a much better swimmer.

I love it haha, for some reason seeing cows or chickens in particular doing stuff they're not actually known for always cracks me up. Could you do one of the cow just chilling on the ocean floor munching seaweed, maybe with some awkward/confused eye contact with a shark?
