Description So I was supposed to go to speech class... and I didn't... I dunno, something about ditching class is so empowering, even though we were just going to be sitting around for three hours listening to people do their speeches.

Been a while since I did a real photomanip. This took me... what, ten hours? All day? Lol.

CrystallineEssence In reply to HiddenRelevance [2008-01-24 19:12:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, chica! Yeah I painted over it a lot, I also reconstructed some of her face using the liquify effect in photoshop... it took a long time, haha.

I like the way you used those leaves and flowers to give this pic the atmosphere of nature. She reminds me more of a pretty fairy than a Dragonfly. But then again, either way or another, both titles work. ^_^

CrystallineEssence In reply to diana-hnd [2008-01-24 19:11:07 +0000 UTC]

She's supposed to be a dragonfly fairy. Thank you very much! ^_^
