Description In her hands puppets became the thing itself, and swathed in misty clothes, in my sweet dream she cast a shadow pretty as her own eyes...

::::::::::::::::Technique::::::::::::::::
Since so many have expressed a curiosity regarding my digital collages, I posted a step-by-step WIP of one in my old blog. Please have a look dears.

There you can see how small photo parts are assembled to form a single face off many different parts from different faces, and patterns are cut out and airbrushed to create a mix of painting and collage.

All photo parts not from my own stock are heavily composited from small parts of photos sourced on the creative commons, mainly from these two sites: [link] and [link]

Hey, firstly, thank you.
I cannot give you that for free, sorry. You would have to buy the rights to print the image there. That is how an illustrator like me makes a living - not by credit, by money.

Rights can cost upwards of 100 Euros minimum.

I understand, dearest. Thanks Anyways , Lovee! Perhaps when I have money I can commission and pay for a cover illustration... OK?

Sure why not! You are so young. Most people publish books when they are older.. and the lack of cash is one reason for that!

lol!!! It's - c'est la vie' I have to agree your french stinks

DD's are nice and all, but don't ever feel the need for validation. Some artists I admire her on DA, who are professionals, never got a DD it's just a silly popularity contest with the gallery mods.

Yes I take Spanish for a school language LOL!! But I can speak French better than I can spell it! I can say a few things like my name is, and do you speak English. LOL But you really deserve that DD and you are defiantly a professional!

This is really amazing. It looks so real, yet surreal. I love that the sun and the moon are her puppets. The colors are stunning too. I can see why this got a DD.

If this design was printed on card, I'd buy obscene amounts and send them to the ones i love<3


you have a powerful imagination, and the way you express it through your art is just marvelous; it will take you to places you've never dreamt of<3

hey, that's awesome! I love this kind of art, where you always do wonder: Does God hold up sun and moon as puppets? Hahaha quite tedious if you ask me!

I like the texture. Like the painting of Venus, has that weird dreamy feeling. Keep it up!
