Artist's Comments

Oh, the irony. You're safe yet you're trapped. Mhm.

Giftart for *tears-of-eternity for catching my 10k pageview! Sorry for the lateness =p

I know that the crystal things don't look right but I gave up on them. I tried to paint some accumulated snow on them but it turned out weird. Ugh.

Anyhow, this is obviously for the Anti-Cliche Contest.
It's not great but whatever. Except for sort of "overusing" textures, this shouldn't contain many cliches, nay? The focus is obviously on an object, not on a girl. I wanted to focus on the manip as a whole instead of on a model.

Background from =resurgere ([link]), and sxc.hu (I will post up more specific links later)
Textures from ~tetramegistus, and ~Odessa11stock
Crystals from ~similie-stock, and =Stock-by-Kai
Bubble brush from *elestrial
Foliage brush from ~spiritsighs-stock


Overall, I'm okay with this piece. I wish that I blended everything with the snow better. I definitely prefer working with models :lol:

Photoshop CS2, mouse, around 3 hrs, 1500x1500px, 300 dpi, without frame (small manip this time).

Thanks! To you, too.
I love your entry. The contrasts in the dimensions of the caped man, snakes, and heart are amazing :heart: I'm sorry I forgot to comment on it ^^;
