Description
For the contest "Fantasy Landscapes" held by [link]This work took me exactly 48 hours (full weekend, yesterday from 7:30 pm to 5:30 am and today from 7:30 pm until now 1:05 am) ... and I am SO happy with it! (My 5th work, 61 layers and a lot of painting and learning of new things just out of pure luck!!).
Even if I start the fair tomorrow, I could manage to sleep less ... I absolutely had to send this piece to the contest!
A SECRET:
I could do it this "quickly" because I used several tubes, as you will see on the credits. They really spare time on isolating the stock pieces to be used. I want to specially thank for their incredible tutorial on how to create fantastic, first class tubes! You should read it [link] and try the method ... and join the club, of course
Well, wish me luck for the contest. ...And if I don't win, I really don't mind... This is a work I am really proud of, honestly !!!
I want to dedicate this work to all my friends and watchers that love and believe in magic

Outstanding piece,rich in color and vibrance. The perspective gives the viewer a feeling of being part of the work like your peeking in at a secret place. Wonderful!!

I'm sorry I can't leave you an in-depth critique as you have requested, I just wanted to comment and say how joyful you have made my morning with this piece. The fantastic glow of my favorite colors and the detail and imagination... it just makes me happy. Thank you for such a beautiful piece, and for making me smile this morning

Hello !!!
I was delighted with your message !
Nothing can make me more happy than knowing that it brightened
your day !
I do love those colors myself a lot... it was such fun to create
this work with so many stocks - I learned so much during the process!
DonΒ΄t worry about the critique , itΒ΄s more important to know
that you smiled when you saw it!!!
I regret the late reply, but IΒ΄m having a work overload and IΒ΄m logging
to DA only now and then until this situation changes !

I totally understand, I am overworked myself lately! Did I tell you also that I shared your earth/tree baby-fae piece with two close friends who are about to become mommies? We all cried

Manwathiell In reply to shinywen [2010-05-26 04:08:16 +0000 UTC]
Oh, I regret so much that only today I'm back to answer.
I apologize!!
What a beautiful feeling you just shared with me... I understand
the reason of your crying, and it makes me feel a deep emotion !
Babies are the most amazing marvel in this world, and mom's are the
guides that will work on them to create the men and women of the future.
Not an easy task, and so important!... usually kept unseen and unrewarded
by those who think mom's are little...
But our children know, and their smiles and love are our prize...
Thanks for sharing this with me. It makes a difference!

Wow! Intense colours and silhouettes and lighting all structured together wonderfully in this image. Especially like the wisp-like appearance of the fairy.

This is what I'd love to do mostly. It was extremely difficult for me,
since I am new to manipulations...
I love magic and bright colors, energizing themes and such.
I am so glad you liked it!!! And thanks for your thoughtful comment!!!
