I can't get over how wispy her wings look and how they sort of fade into the back ground. Absolutely incredible, as always! You've improved upon perfection, you rock!

Your most welcome.. You know everytime I use a stock picture of you I never want to manipulate it too much.. Your already gorgeous and have such a great range of expressions that you bring to the images.. I dont like interfering with that and much prefer enhancing the beauty that is already there.

lucretia In reply to serp-stock [2004-06-16 07:02:48 +0000 UTC]

Im so happy that you like it! Yep, I love the expression Kiva has in this one.. She looks so lost in her own thoughts and weary, like her very soul is tired.. looking for somewhere to rest her head, if only for a few minutes.

MarkGreenmantle [2004-06-14 21:48:05 +0000 UTC]

that is a very good merging of stock. the airbrushed candles look really good. Like to see some shadows cast by them and reflections of them in the wicked boots Kinkbunny is wearing though. Overall effect is enchanting and very very printworthy. Nice job

lucretia In reply to MarkGreenmantle [2004-06-16 06:59:43 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much.. more specifically about the details of candles. That was something I didnt even think of when putting it together.

MarkGreenmantle In reply to lucretia [2004-06-16 07:37:42 +0000 UTC]

if anytime you want any help in that way, give me a buzz.
I really should get back into the habit of competing on the digimod forums.. they run photoshop realism competitions but its all automotive based. Very tough competition!

Beautifully done. I love the sad tones to this piece, and the wistful, almost longing expression on the model's face makes the pic that much more complete. There is nothing about this I do not like.

Thanks hon
The glowy candles were made more or less by airbrushing and using lens flare.
