How Do I Look?

Description

I think that this is self explanatory except for the random forest background. It was just too empty.
She is standing in front of a mirror and sees no reflection (not because she's a vampire -_-) because she has no freaking identity.

I. Slaved. Over. This. It's over 3000x3000 px. 300dpi. At one point it exceeded 1 GB but then I merged the layers 'cos I was scared that my computer would crash.

This is a response to many pieces that I've recently seen around dA, even before the Women's Awareness Week. Also, a major thank you to *Lindowyn for inspiring me to continue this one with her new submissions. I started it and never got the courage to finish it because I was afraid that the manip wouldn't turn out deep enough.

I'm mostly satisfied with the results. The dress is created out of about 30 layers of overlapping fabric. The narrowed waist is also created using a bunch of layers. Model is created by combining 2 pics. The manip is not perfect but it should speak out loud enough... I wanted to exaggerate the body proportions but not so much that it wouldn't look "surreal."

Her dress is both pretty and "corrupt." It weights her down.

Anyway, I don't feel like explaining anymore because it would beat the meaning of a conceptual piece, right?

Many, many, many thanks to *mizzd-stock who took the time and did a request package for me :heart: back when I first had the idea.

(hehe, long reading...)

I give *Manipulators permission to post this in the club gallery.
