Artist's Comments

Whew! Took me almost 10h to make :)
This started as a tutorial (from Photoshop Creative Magazine) but I improvised a bit and made it to a photomanipulation. I've never tried to do this kind of manipulation before, so this is kinda experimental thing. 50% painting and 50% photo. I hope you like it!

It's really great that you're venturing into new techniques, may I ask which part is the photo and which part is the painting? :) (I can't seem to get to the linked photo..)

The girl is beautiful and I understand that this is after all experimental, but maybe you might want to consider the colours in the background vs the foreground, also whether the feathery effect in the background (though very pretty) is really necessary? ;)

Would love to be able to see the photos that you started out with or rather the before and after, would be really interesting! :D

I actually painted on the photo and used different blending modes to achieve this effect. So the photo is below the painting acting as a texture.

I tried to use one of my own stock images as a background, but somehow it only looked good with a white background. I still wanted to add something in the back so that's why the feathers are there now. To be honest, I don't like them either :)

I'll try to find the reference pic for you somehow. Thank's again for commenting!
