Pity I don't have a vodka bottle to go in the background...

I...uh...

I guess I just don't understand art. It's a tiny Russian soldier in a shotglass. Or, a regular-sized Russian soldier in a terribly large shotglass.

In either case, I don't understand exactly what you're trying to convey, Oleg. Some kind of commentary on alcohol abuse in the armed forces of the Russian Federation just doesn't seem very topical, I'm afraid.

But that's probably not it at all, is it? :confused:

As a pure photoshop technical excercise, it's brilliant.

As "art"...eh, what do I know?

:D

[Dilettante]

Is that what Russian military shotglasses look like? ;)

[twoblink]

Is this the Russian version of "1911 + Apple" for American's?

AK47 + Vodka.. about as Russian as it gets!!

"theres a little wodka left in the bottom of this glass so everybody just stay back,,,"

Interesting Oleg. I knew I spent a lot of my youth living in a bottle, but wow, I didn't realize it got this bad.

This was made for a www.worth1000.com contest, but the reason I posted it here is because it feautures our OEF_vet.

Next feature will be of twoblink fending off giant tarantulas.

[mwithers72]

I thought that looked like him!!!!!! (OEF_VET that is)

[JDSlack]

That can't be a Russian military issue shotglass...not enough cosomoline.:D

[Mark Tyson]

You can keep the vodka, but I've always kind of liked that Russian camo pattern.

And their guns too, of course.

[sm]

Oh Great,for so long...
People's attitude about life have been judged as to whether the glass half empty, or half full...this changes everything! :D

[RustyHammer]

... I see they're "down sizing" their military too!

(wonder if there's a label on his back to inflate to 35 # PSI)

:neener:

I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!

[Vasilia Zhietzev]

damn good photoshop, oleg!

[kentucky bucky]

do they flavor their vodka by soaking their feet in it???

[Bowlcut]

well you have to look at the bigger one to really see how much detail went into the pic. things like refraction and reflection since the "rocks" glass is octogon shaped. sad side note, i know where he bought that glass that be a walmart glass set as i have the blue version sitting right here in front of me now. hmmm back on topic :D. Things like the little bit of streching near the top of the glass where it would be curved and such....great photochop Oleg. I really need to get back into it since I have so much free time.

And scary how much an Army man looks like a Russian Paratrooper eh?

[papercut]

Cool pic, but....what's with the blue beret?

[280PLUS]

?

[OEF_VET]

Yup, dat's me!

I got the uniform while I was in Kosovo in 2000. I traded a Russian Airborne Senior Lieutenant a pair of my combat boots for his uniform pants and blouse. I got the beret from one of his soldiers in return for an old copy of Playboy. The blue beret is standard Russian Army Arborne issue. The rifle is my SAR-1.

And Kevin, soldiers the world over all seem to look alike. Especially when they have a rifle in their hands, pointed in your direction.
