Description
For *miss69 's Steer Contest: [link]Sort of a spur-of-the-moment-while-listening-to-a-song manip. The concept is pretty literal and straightforward. I meant to portray stereotypical roles of princesses/queens, how they're caged and all.
Lighting is so hard. I think that I messed up on the shadows, oh well.
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You’ve pulling on the strings
Playing puppeteer for kings
And you’ve had enough
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
That you control where you go
You can steer

Good work, I like the symbolism in this. For some reason it makes me think of the late Diana of England

Oh, actually, that makes sense. I don't know a lot about her. But I can imagine that's what she went through.
Thank you

Yeah, and she lacked the strenght and courage to take control of her life. On the other hand she was just 19 when she married Charles who was quite older than her and on top of that in love with another woman. And it took her quite some time to dare to take the wheel herself of her own life. She becamse trapped in the conventions of royalty and a life she could not have forseen.

Oh wow, I didn't know that about her. Thank you for the info and sorry for the late reply.

See, if the royals went to punk concerts more this would never be a problem.
I really like this though. Before I mention a quote from Spiderman though, I'll stop. This is a kindof different piece for you, and I like that.

Seriously 
Please do give me the quote from Spiderman. I wonder what the link is.
Yes, I suppose that I'm getting bold. I'm nowhere near doing nude manips though

It's a female version of "The Prince and the Pauper"! Hehe.
I like the concept. It's sort of like the Angel/Devil on your shoulders, except the Devil's gotten hold of the Angel and her good morals. Sad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep.
Sad, but at the same time, if you've been trapped in a fairy tale for so long, it's good to step outside and be bad

Every time I look at this picture , I notice something else.

OMG, Sado-maso!

Well done! Except for the disconcerting lack of depth.
You're getting there!

Lack of depth? I lowered the contrast because it was too bright. The model came with the background lol

Model in front looks not in front enough O_o The one in the back is fine.
Lol, fast reply eh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, okay. I think at first I was planning for her to be out of the picture, like out of frame or something. Will fix it sometime... (probably never
Yeah... my comments are accumulating again
