All her doubts were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control"

- Green Day - She

I thought I'd try something clichΓ© and expected it to come out crap but I believe it's quite the opposite.

great job, the colours are really fantastic. theres something about it that just looks so dreamy and smooth haha. i really love the composition too, everything about the bridge and the clouds etc,

the only thing i'm not sure about is the placement of the wings, maybe they should've been slightly lower, but i don't know how that would look exactly so i could be wrong bout the wings

great job!

shadewind In reply to lisun [2006-08-07 06:43:16 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking that placing the wings lower would make look like they intersect with the bridge or something.

Anyway, thanks!

It is pretty but I must wonder, is she facing us or the light? It looks like she's facing the light but I feel like I can envision her face...

Wrong reply to wrong person, sorry... She's supposed to be facing the person looking at the photo. Dunno if that's the best, but the stock photo was that way

Haha, yes, I'd say this is quite the opposite of crap. It might be my laptop *it has a tendency to make darks brighter than they are* but you could have made the silhouette part darker even *but I think it's just my laptop, actually, I'm pretty sure it is so I don't know why I'm even telling you this, haha* because I can see her pretty well for how much light there is behind her. By the way, how are you getting that effect getting it so bright and lighting on the wood? Just a lot of dodging or what? Inquiring minds need to know.

shadewind In reply to therandomsinger [2006-08-06 21:44:26 +0000 UTC]

Yes, because over here, she's very dark actually.

About the lightning, I've put a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer on top of it with a gradient layer mask. Then I just turned up the brightness on it and increased the contrast a bit. Adjustment layers really rock, that's a tip. I use them a lot

If you ever wonder something more, just ask and I'll tell ^^

That's freaking awesome. The only complaint I have is that the planet...thing... at the top is rather blurry and undetailed. Then again, I can't even begin to make one, so maybe that's harder than I think?

shadewind In reply to SpaceWhale [2006-08-06 19:06:06 +0000 UTC]

At first, the surface of the planet was a little too detailed and sharp, it looked kind of strange. So I blurred it a bit, but I guess that it was a little too much.
