Description This is not an airbrush. It's somewhat photomanipulation. I took a photo of a huge plastic bag, liquified it, changed the colors, duplicated and blended it all together to get that swirly luminous effect. The outline of the body was taken from Poser. Its basically a being standing in an ethereal plane, almost emanating this light.

wow.. i was waiting to come to this one as I scrolled down my deviantwatch, and I have to say, I am impressed. The colors and the fluid feeling are awesome, and adding in the stable outlines of the poser model was an awesome touch. Great work

Awesome work Maven, you are indeed a photoshop pioneer. The technique by using the bag is pretty damn amazing

The final result looks awesome, u should get a tutorial up for this on SS, i'm pretty sure many people would love to emulate this. Great work!

This is so powerful. I like it a lot.

I wish I could be more constructive, but I really can't think of anything that would make this better.
