Description There are TONS of tiny tiny elements on here so to view it best look at it in full view please.

The toughest part of this? CUTTING OUT THE DAMN MIRROR! talk about tedious. But overall i'm pretty pleased with how she came out.

Hope you like her too.

Outstanding image - simply stunning!

I am the founder of the group #Screeners

This group features poster and cover art for film, television, stage, books, magazines, games, comics, graphic novels, CD/DVD, concerts and events.

We just kicked off a massive movie poster design contest - details here: [link] The contest is open to all of DeviantArt, and open to all mediums of art.

I have been going through the list of artists I watch and admire (many!) - And am personally inviting some of you to participate.

We will have 11 fake films lined up for contestants to make posters, and I think you will find a few in there that may not only appeal to your medium of art, but your style. I'd love to see what you could do with the material.

The prizes for this contest are insane! Including years worth of DA subscriptions, over 10,000 DA points, limited edition posters, custom artwork and more.

We are also accepting point donations to a prize pool - If you'd like to put in a few points, you can do so here: [link]

Anyway, you certainly won't hurt my feelings if you don't wish to join, but please stop by, read the contest outline to get a sense of what it's all about, and see if it's something you may be interested in.

Thank you for your consideration, and keep up the great work.

Rodney

Just to let you know... If you used any of the feathers or wings from #WingIt-Stock 's gallery, you can enter this into the current contest there. It's nice work, so I thought you may be interested.

about four days ....roughly 18 hours? I'm guessing. that's the longest i've worked on a manip so far and I'm so glad people are liking it. Guess i'll have to go slower from now on.

*hugs* thank you sweetie.

GASP! WOW! OH MY! so very VERY imPRESSive! ! ! it took my breath away when i first clicked on the link you sent- and look at all those stock providers you so painstakingly acknowledged- (sometimes i think that is as hard as making the piece itself...) Thank you so very very much for sharing! if i would have known you needed an ornate mirror- i would have uploaded one that i have- i still have a ton of stuff to post- i'm just at a loss for time..

You are a very talented manipulator !~ wish i had your skills!
