Is there any chance that this is inspired by the fall of Ys? Loosely, at least... Sorry, I'm a folklore enthusiast, and I'm really curious.

Brilliant work, though! Absolutely stunning. <3

I'm intrigued that you like this one! I always love it when people go through my gallery, and unearth one that has seemingly been forgotten. I've always really loved this one... I guess because I can feel the story behind it. I'm so glad you like it!

How did you manage to create such an elaborate scenario with separate photos?


Amazing...

Thank you so much! You know, this piece just unfolded before me, like I was reading a story. It all started with finding that awesome mansion. Little by little, the scene came to me. I was fortunate to find a picture of a 'bridge' that would look perfect in it. Without that, I would have had a hard time getting the whole scene to work right! Thank goodness for all the awesome stock photographers here on Deviant!

Mehrunnisa In reply to Foxfires [2005-11-14 15:03:43 +0000 UTC]

This is definitely a very good work, I am still amazed with the quality of this manipulation and with the fact that is does not seem to have several pictures creating it.

The creative process, sometimes, seems to take so much of us and of our time, I am glad to know that some pieces of Art are created as if a divine hand was leading our mind. It seems to be the case in this work.

Well done!

Thank you very much! I know lots of tricks, mostly self taught... so they may be a bit unconventional ways of going about the manipulations, but it gets the job done. Very pleased that you like it!
