Description Three-way collaboration for collab-da featuring Literature-Traditional-Digital.

The Prose, by BeccaJS  is an adorable story about a goldfish Downside Up- prose and is the basis for the traditional work W I P II Collab DA by Dark-elfa ~

My job was to finish the deviation in a digital format, blending the art onto a digital background and inserting the text in a storybook form (thus the use of the Storybook Font). I made the original background Collab dA background in PhotoShop Elements IV and awaited the traditional work.

Getting started on April 6th using PhotoShop Elements VI for the Mac, I erased parts of the background on the traditional work and enhanced the color saturation of the goldfish then put it through a sepia filter to fit in with the digital background. Brushes added to blend.

I copied the story and pasted it into Word and arranged each set of lines the way I wanted them to work in the finished deviation. I was able to directly copy and paste the heading but had to use the font within the program for the text. Text is colored and layer effects used for the final look.

I set up each prose section by BeccaJS  to allow it to flow throughout the background to set off the look of the story and coordinate with the main feature of the goldfish by Dark-elfa and settle around the digital work.

Using a recessed framing after adding a plain edging I saved it importing it back into PhotoShop El IV for the final frame.

My Stock Used ~ Cinderella's Castle Filtered Background removed (WDWParksGal-Stock ) along with the Flounder background removed © The Disney Corporation I drew (in scraps, same).

Brushes ~ program defaults, coral by teddybearcholla , aurora and water by redheadstock aka obsidiandawn.com

Background made in PhotoShop El IV but imported into PhotoShop Elements VI to make layers and blend in the traditional artwork and paste the story into desired areas.

Wonderful! My fish used to float upside down for fun. He was a silly little guy...he also floated vertically too.

WDWParksGal In reply to TerrierGal [2008-04-09 00:17:26 +0000 UTC]

When I was a young teenager my fish were upside down and somehow I realized the water I had changed the bowl with was too warm so I changed it to cool water. One had died and other lived but only for a few weeks as they could never right themselves quite right again. Live and learn.

At least your fishy floated that way on purpose

Thank you kindly for the and be sure to check out the other two original parts of the collab to let the team know you like their work

TerrierGal In reply to WDWParksGal [2008-04-09 00:47:23 +0000 UTC]

My fishy was weird...I have a picture of him doing it somewhere on my computer, I could find it and upload it. I knew he was going to die soon though when he would just lay on the bottom of his bowl on the rocks. He wouldn't even swim to the top to eat his food. My mom called me at school one day and told me he had died. I cried during lunch. ( This was only this year too. )

Will do!

I always cry when a pet dies and I've had so many over my lifetime. I was in Florida visiting Tina when Tig died at only three-years old of kitty-aids. I was heartbroken. The vet wanted to keep him for study but my son refused and buried him in the little woods behind out house. Pets are family members, too

very cool!!! I really like what you did with the castle and the outline of literature!...not so sure about the flounder fishy.. but I guess its your personal style..so its ok :]
was nice working with you guys

WDWParksGal In reply to Dark-elfa [2008-04-09 00:33:00 +0000 UTC]

Was glad the original background was already made or it would have taken much longer. Wanted to make it look like a storyboard, as well as a storybook look to it. With stripping, cleaning and repainting a 1000 sq foot apartment getting it ready to rent, doing several traditional-work quilt-patches for *DisneyDreamers and working in the clubs in the past two weeks, I was panicked I wouldn't have time to get it finished prior to leaving Thursday but now it is done

I often draw Disney characters in my own style only doing "exact" copies when ask to, like this mural for a friend ~ Flounder Collaboration ~

Oh my god this is truly amazing! I love your own little personal element of putting flounder in- very much you! I think that is what I like about this, there is a fair bit of all our personalities in it (not that I am an upsidedown depressed fish), but its come off quite nicely!

WDWParksGal In reply to BeccaJS [2008-04-09 00:44:14 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yes, right away, even though with the classification they would have seen it on their own. Am so glad it is finally done ~ =Dark-elfa had exams and didn't have time to add anything to her goldfish but what she drew was more than enough and offset the story beautifully with the flowing goldfish, and I could insert the story into the gap and wind it around so both the story and the goldfish have the center feature within the deviation.

Am so glad you liked it and agree that the collab has all three of our personalities ~ thanks for faving it
