Inspired by beautiful words of Syyd. - I am in a sticky mould, covered in wet mud, waiting for release, chyrsalis thousands of years old, and the time for the turning of the worm has come. - 5 photos, but main background pic is stolen from net. Poser 1 female, about 15-20 hours with photoshop. ..feeling tired and empty now, not much for me to give this piece anymore. Hope you like it Syyd, and you Guys too. .n

I love the colors and the aged look of it. I think it does justice to the words.

Very cool! I like it a lot. That would make an awesome poster, too. - darkpen

Awesome (as usual)! The color scheme works really well, and the feeling of the image matches perfectly with the written words. Hope you made it large enough for poster size!

colour & texture makes it really moody & it does fit the words so well.

What an atmosphere you have created! Perfect with the poem. And perfect by itself too.

Quite nice!

Awesome! Enough to make me hate every cell running through your cold,snowclad body...... grrrrrr (",)

I love it! Wish I could figure out how you get those gorgeous textures in your images......

Aa-ooo! Dude. He's gotta be peaking, Jordy. I double-dog dare ya to beat that one, Antoonio. Joe

Very, Very Good Niko, no...excellent! Tell me something, was the vegetation growing out of the wall in the original image trawled off the web or was it post work by yourself? (just curious!) Ah Jordy...ya can't resent genius!!

Oh BTW! Great words from Syyd to inspire as well!

Phew, what a strong work..! You're using a rather even texture, and I'm curious about it's origin... ...A plain cloth scanned with a transparency adapter..? ...A plain and rather thin paper scanned in the same manner..? ...Or maybe same or alike material simply scanned and modified..? I'm overwhelmed by this pic... :)

Thank you, nice to see you guys like this too. Phrank. Sadly, no. Original is about 2000 pixels high. Too small for good A4. I was just fooling around when this pic happened. Michelle, just transparent burn- and dodge color layers, lots of handpainting and cloning areas. Alpha! Damn, of course, thats what I will do. Thanks. Punkister, that's almost original pic(with heavy postwork) there in background, and that growing stuff where there. Douksal, there are six different texture layers in this one, all made/edited only with photoshop, no photo-textures this time. I have planned to scan burlap, canvas or something sparse material like that, would give out good textures. .n
