Sorry, I found it surfing for "wildebeasts" and found some website with scenes from the African plains. I distorted the original and so I don't have it anymore and I can't remember what website it was.
To make this, I kind of traced the general outlines of my already modified copy on a new layer, then wiped the original layer. This left me with a very rough trace which I filled in to black and white and then subsequently applied the effects.
I don't see how this could possibly break his copyright since I actually sketched it out freehand with my mouse. There is no remenant whatsoever of the original photo anywhere in these images.
It was a really nice picture. Too bad the photographer wasn't feeling charitable. I mentioned it was for a non-profit public project but he said it didn't matter and he wanted money. Oh well. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as they say.
Try it, its kind of fun!
