I was wondering if anybody here was really good with photoshop and would be willing to do a small inexpensive commission for me … I would like the image of an orca, with a hamster wheel at the back end as if it was powering the ship…for a forum sig. 
I don’t recognize that image. What am I looking at? Is the Orca the metallic ‘bar’, or the entire image? Where does the hamster wheel go? Which end is the ‘back’ ?
Nevermind, I see what you mean, I think: orca.
Ok, so you want to use the image you posted, modded with the wheel? Is the ‘back’ at upper left?
The back is towards the viewer, though there are a number of images of orcas online, or I can log in and take several pictures to give you a choice of ship images to work with. There are also a plethora of hamster in wheel images online as well so this would end up with us working together to find images that would work =) If I knew anyhting about photoshop I could have a go at it myself, but I know enough to know that what I know about photoshop could make a very tiny book=)
If it would work better, I could take a full broadside shot =)
Yeah, I didn’t understand what I was looking at either. If you still need it, I’ll take shot at it next week.
Yeah, the wide angle perspective in that pic is a challenge, in that it has quite a bit of spatial distortion, and any hamster-based accelerators would need to follow that pattern; having said that, every single pic I see of an Orca online is wide angled, so I guess that’s just a built-in issue. Another issue with that pic is it’s difficult to find pics of hamster wheels shot from above, or at least I couldn’t find any with a hamster in it when I googled.
