 Bad, I know, but this IS a fun challenge anyway, right? :)
I wish I knew more PS, because this is pretty damned basic, obviously.

post-challenge; I'm getting good at this 50% thing!
Thanks for all the comments :)
I thought about putting in the saw, then figured I'd get DNMC's from the literalists for having an unlisted item.

The blood is a trickle of stage blood. I burned in a dark line, then cloned a bit of the white into the top to make a "v" like a cut was started. I still wasn't happy with the effect, so I started experimenting, and ended up in "liquify". I used the "bloat" tool down the center of the cut to spread the sides.

And the arm stays there until... it shrivels enough to fall out? ;)

benefitting HIGHLY by having an actual concept. 10. i would expect a ribbon. the clipping on the bright areas of the white are the only complaint and that is if i force myself to find a flaw.
