Another one dug up from the archives! This is a graphic I did while I was working on a book entitled "Touched." I'm not sure the graphic fits the book, but I still love how it turned out on its own. I'm particularly pleased with this photo manip, as it came from a bunch of playing around - a sandbox project that actually turned into something I think worthwhile! My story featured an artist and his muse, so I was really hoping to capture what I felt was my character's style of work - only with photoshop and not actual watercolor paint. As to the size - I designed it with a book cover in mind, but then I decided I wanted to have it as a desktop wallpaper while I was working in the novel, sooo... Unfortunately, since this started as a sandbox project that I didn't expect to go anywhere AND I worked on it years ago, it's fairly low resolution. I might rework it at some point so that it can be displayed at higher resolution, if there's interest.

Big, HUGE thanks go to Reine-Haru for provided the original stock photograph, which you can find here: www.deviantart.com/reine-haru/…

I also used a lovely paper texture by pandoraicons , but it looks like the artist has since removed the piece, so I cannot link it directly.
