Ohhh, dear. Blame it on nervous energy. I'm waiting for the next phase of the project I'm working on to begin, and I've already chewed my nails to the quick. So...it's either make new art, or start gnawing through skin to the bone. lol
I have no explanation for this other than the fact that yes.... I love Xanadu, and everything about it makes me want to lace up my skates, put on a diaphanous dress, and rollerdance. TRUST ME, it's best I work out my flights of fancy this way. *chortle* If you dare, click this link - turn up the volume... and sing along. [link] *sways*
Note to self: Don't listen to too much ELO while sitting in front of the computer.

Hehe, awwww, thank you!!
I really didn't mean to do this as an update that people could see. I was just trying to get the thumbnail not to look so blurry. I thought if I uploaded a jpeg instead of a png file, it would do the trick. Alas, it doesn't. I have no idea what the solution is. LOL

Wow...I'm usually more into landscape photomanips, but I really like this one, but then I especially like things with sparkles and lots of color. The dark blue was a great choice. Reminds me of the Disney logo where the star (?) goes over the castle.

Wow.....this is a marvelous picture!
I am really captivated by the gentle colors and overall simplicity of the background and hand so all your attention in drawn into the globe.
There are so many things and textures in there (nicely placed too)!
Very well done!

Dear GOD girl, I'm off dA for only a day and when I return -- 5 deviations from you! Such a busy bee!
This is truly amazing though; such meticulous attention to detail in making it so fantastic... I love it

No offense, but kinda looks simple... I guess it's the background.
It's pretty and all. Just more simple.... than your usual stuff I guess.

Foxfires In reply to seventh7scense [2007-10-03 21:59:21 +0000 UTC]
Thanks!! Yup - simplicity was essential for this one, because there's so much going on inside the 'globe'. I didn't want to distract from that.

Mmm... I would suggest different colour tones then, I dunno.
JUST MY OPINION do not be offended.

So, the stock of the girl you used doesn't look like it would come out that sharp. Did you paint some of it? Cause it really does look very HD in the manip.

Foxfires In reply to The-LegendaryExtreme [2007-10-03 20:42:12 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! Yes, I run it through a whole process of stuff to get it to look like that. The only part that has any painting on it though, is the hair (but mostly for individual strands). Everything else is just a matter of finessing layers, layer modes, and other things like that.

Omgoodness that is really beautiful! And very detailed I love it. Reminds me of Labyrinth.

Now this is definitely not to my tastes (you probably guessed by now that girly fairy things don't get faved by me ) but there's no denying that it is expertly executed. Everything is seamless, perfectly blended and the colours are smooth, almost as if you could touch them and they'd feel like silk.
Wonderful.
