Gimp/Inkscape experiment

I had an idea for a project today: to take photographs and composite in highly two dimensional illustrated characters. I'm sure this has been done before (Who Framed Roger Rabbit? etc.), but the image of a Miyazaki-style sea strider popped into my head, almost exactly as I've rendered it here.

I'm not sure about the result. Think I'll have to try a few more and develop the style a bit.

Those are brilliant! I don't know if I can top that. The creature in the lake is very much like what I imagined. I even had the idea of doing some macro creatures like he did!

No original ideas left, eh? ;)
