Description Edit: I'm fed up with rips off. Watermark, copyright, lower resolution... I'm sorry. Please note that the print version is beautiful and has anything on the image itself!

Some days ago ~Amalthee talked about the upcoming Nightwish album on my forum. It reminded me how much Nightwish's music has influenced me, in many domains. This image is a kind of tribute to Nightwish and to one of their best song, "Passion and the Opera". I also wanted to work on ~ladymorgana 's face, for I have always thought that she has a gorgeous and noble face, as though she had be a queen in another life. Concerning the background, it's a stock from ~antipodean-stock which I adore, because it looks very similar to a nightmare I made long ago. The star brushes come from *aleksandra and ~ trulysarah . The rays of light are made with Photoshop and no brush.
This deviation reminds me of *nightfaery 's graphic universe, which I really worship and respect.

Once upon a century...

The hues are fantastic, and the piece sends a shiver up my spine (of course, in the best way possible ). Very intriguing.

I find it amazing how you were able to tie the two pictures together without making it look too...forced. The two blend well together, and ladymorgana was a gorgeous choice because, well, she's gorgeous and noble-looking, as you said.

Also, Nightwish does rock, even if I prefer Lacuna Coil and After Forever, et al. So unless you do "Black Tomb," can't be too much more enthusiastic.

Wonderful work though, and you seem to have done well with the light beams and the stars. Then again, I'm a poetry person with an art obsession, so who knows

This is truly beautiful Kreestal. It definately portrays that Passion and the Opera feeling -- excellent usage of stocks as always Kreestal. I, too, am very looking forward to Nightwish's new album because Tarja has a beautiful voice and I adore their music immensely. I noticed this was a DTF, congratulations once again Kreestal.

The blue tones work beautifully as well. Makes me want to be there. Heh.

The piece is truly beautiful. Great job Kreestal!

allo les francophones. Ce projet est bien. Good with contrasts, and we assume the light direction is due to light bouncing to the wall behind... Those type of noses are sexy. Can noses be sexy? Oh yeah.
