Description
One never knows if you can trust someone who practices magic... especially if you are bound to them....

The Other Stuff:

This is half size of the one I made, I may put the full size up sometime.

This was somewhat of an ambitious project for me that I was trying to finish up... took a long time ... many layers... but lots of fun.

1) The background I desaturated to match the model and basin a bit better the original color just didn't work for me. I had to change the color of the basin and it locked.

2) The basin is about 5 layers... the base layer is one I use a bit here and there, I put a misty like texture of my own making over that, then I extracted the face of the Victim and placed it in the basin... then put the ripple over that... a bit of blurring here and there and done... I also added a faint glow around the edges.

3) The eyes of the model are actually my favorite part. I did a lot of work to pull that out between hand painting, layer effects, and then doing a rather interesting glowing effect...

4) The magic energy was lightening brushes but I used the supernova effect to do the balls... and then worked a bit of glowing and effects you'd see lighting wise.

5) Shadows, the original background and the model with the basin had neutral lighting... but I finally chose the other model after looking through about 30 model stock images... her lighting was from the right... so I chose that to do the shadow effects.

6) Finally a lot of usage on the perspective tool to fit everything into the basin with the right angles

Originally I was going to have just the model and background... then I added the victim... though I almost had to restart to fit them both in

A special thanks to the stock providers:

- Ripple Texture (basin)
- Model (Victim)
- Model (Witch)
- Background
- Basin Inside
- Lightening Brushes
