Description I think I'm getting the hang of this.

Background is by mehrunnisa stock [link]
model is by Lockstock [link]
brushes are by rL brushes [link]

I'm not sure who the wings belong to. If they are yours please let me know so I can give credit.

Okay, thanks for the tip, though I'm not going to stop thinking my stuff is trash.


Anyway, wonderful job with this

oh... my.... god.... this is AMAZING! It makes me want to go kick my crumby hardly photomanipulations in the trash, which is where they belong anyway, but really! This truly is a great piece.

I'm so glad you like it! Don't sell yourself short. Everyone has to start somewhere. You would not believe how many crappy ones I did when I started. I checked out your gallery. It doesn't belong in trash. They aren't bad at all. Don't discard them. They are a great way to check for improvement.
How does one improve? May I suggest TUTORIALS, TUTORIALS, TUTORIALS.

listen to Mehrunnisa - she's quite right about putting your emotions into your work.
It looks so intricate - how long did it take you? It's good to see familiar stock (I'm a big fan of lockstock's work) used differently. I especially love the foilage brushing around the bottom of the dress and the way it goes on to make a natural frame
Lovely work

I lose all track of time when I'm making one. I did two that day. It took several hours.
The foliage on the bottom was a last minute thing. It was already fringing over some on the left so I went ahead and framed the bottom with it. I started to do the top but I really liked the pink and blue colors of the stone up there and I couldn't bear to cover it up.
This is the first one where I've really used some color. I've learned that in the last week. Thanks to YOU GUYS!

maybe you should think about making some notes for a tutorial on using brushes effectively - there are some absolute beauties out there but it's just learning how not to over do them.
You'll just keep getting better like fine wine

You really over rate me. I have never even touched photoshop until 3 months ago. I've never studied art and I really don't know what I'm doing. I've read a few tutorials when I get frustrated trying to learn it myself. I just play around until I get something I like. You guys are the best. I'm in awe of the art I've seen here. I could go on and on....
Maybe when I gain more self confidence and feel like I know what I'm doing then I would love to write one.

I'll have to write you a note and explain more. I'm truly flattered.

This is such an intense image, my dear. Although it may seem overused by photomanipulators around here, the truth is that your really shows how much of you you have put into this. It is wonderful and I must agree with you.

You'll be famous around here soon, I'm sure!

Thank you, I start out with an idea and just play around with it. I never have a plan of what it is going to look like when I start. it just develops. Does this make any sense?

I'm glad you like it.
