Description

This took a very, very, very long time and is one of the most complicated, intricate, time consuming and painstaking pieces I've ever done. I thought hey... why not do something really challenging, with lots and LOTS of Ivy (I like Ivy). So this happened, I'm very proud of it Especially the dress, I was attempting to achieve a kind of shimmery-slippery-shiny-satin material and I'm chuffed at how it turned out. It took two weeks on and off due to rainy weather (rush inside) then sunny weather (rush outside) and many late nights (bad, bad, bad). Painted with wacom in Paintshop (photos for reference) then different types of blur filters applied to areas of duplicate layers in Photoshop to create a sense of realism/depth/light haze through the windows. And yes.... they're both female, it makes a nice change. Thankyou for looking and I hope you have a lovely day.

When I hear the term "art" I think of images like this. Not to say I don't think of other styles for I consider many styles to be artistic its just that this is "art" imvho in a classical sense. What a damn fine job on the clothes...wow... Vote -jay

"wacom in Paintshop" .. are you saying this is done in Paintshop Pro? (well, with a bit of Photoshop thrown in, but still..) I'm a big PSP fan and this is truly inspirational! A great pleasure to view, thanks so much for sharing this masterpiece with us here!

I have been staring at this image for about 10 minutes, trying to think of something useful to say, other than "Oh wow! It's awesome!!" And I can't. It is, quite simply, amazing. Every image you create with the Wacom raises the bar. I think this one just raised it by 100 feet or more. vote
