Description Falling up? Well, who is to say fallen angels don't get second chances. I really loved doing the wings, and the background, and her dress. This is all based on the Soundgarden song Black Hole Sun lyrics.

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And Ill hear you
Scream again

Black hole sun
Wont you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Wont you come
Wont you come

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear


This is also my first attempt at photomanipulation. This piece is for an angel contest held by using her stock photos. For the central image in the piece, I used stock photo Heart 2 [link] The deadline for her contest is July 10th, and she is giving away lots of very cool prizes. If you get a chance, check out her stock photos there are some really terrific poses.

The background on this piece was the most fun! I think I got a bit carried away with just the background. Thanks for the comment!

Yes the bg is the main attraction of it, but I really love the contrast between the dynamic scene of it and the static pose of the character as she was in a limbo of time while everything is falling away!...wow...what a deep interpratation !...It looks like I'm too seriuous today!

Serious is good sometimes. Lol most of my friends hate it when we go to the movies because I always get all of these deep meanings and such from the films.

she looks gorgeous Lisa. I say, how cool would she look in a pic with that horse (pegasus is it?) you did, having similar wings and stuff. they would look neato together

Quicksilverfury In reply to jezviking [2007-07-08 20:16:52 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Jade! I think the muted colors brings out the central image more than the brighter ones do and this is really more what I was striving for. Sort of the hair and the skirt are at odds with one another going in reverse directions and the melting away of black into pristine heavenly white much like her soul in tourmoil. It's funny you should mention that! Because I had the same idea. Though, If I do the image I will not use the same pegasus, but I will construct a new one to be sort of a counter point as far as coloration goes.

I like this one better than the first version, especally how you did the wings and the dress.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Quicksilverfury In reply to Shade-Dancer [2007-07-08 20:20:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I really do think the muted colors set off the central image better than the brighter ones do. The dress sort of represents her soul melting away the darkness and coming into the light. The wings were a rainy day adventure. I probably made 50 pair of them all different sizes, shapes, and colors one rainy afternoon. Thanks for the comment !

I agree! The muted colors tend to bring out the central image more and the skirt melting away from black into white seems to represent her soul in tourmoil. Thanks for the wonderful comment Johnny!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!!!!
Wow..
This was the most hilarious comment reply I have ever gotten..
Hahahaha..
But yes..
I concur with our earlier comments..
The way she is taking her steps looks as if they are cautious ones..
Unsure and unsteady is the ground she treads..
The wind swirls about her as if some sort of karma guides her choices..
Swirling winds of course because the hair and dress swooshing in opposite directions..
But it is also possible..
That maybe..
Gravity has taken this angels grace and is turning her..
Human?
But who can say?
I know not the workings of Heaven and Hell..
What I can say is..
Sparkles sure make things look pretty..

Me to every now and then..
But most of the time..
I don't aim at all..
A life lived aimlessly..
Is most possibly one of the happiest lives a person can have..
No goals to strive for..
No failure..
Just doing what ever it is I do..
But anyways..
If I did try to aim..
I am sure I could please you..
*wink wink*
Yeah..
Not sure if that has gotten bothersome by now..
(refering to the whole sexual thingy.. I can stop if you think I go to far.. I don't know why I do it anwyays.. Maybe for slight enjoyment.. Meh.. About to go to bed..)

Afraid of rejection?

WindsRage In reply to Quicksilverfury [2007-07-14 11:59:18 +0000 UTC]

Super models are often looked upon as senseless brainless objects..
Beauty usually doesn't come from the outside..
Attraction does..
And sometimes..
A personality can make beauty and attraction..
Go hand in hand..
No matter what you look like..

I open dors for everyone..
Since no matter your outer appearance..
You are still human..
And still posses feeling..
Whether it be sadness or loniless..
Happiness and joy..
We only have one life..
Why spend it..
Making others unhappy?

Do you always write in poetry?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

WindsRage In reply to Quicksilverfury [2007-07-15 18:10:33 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha..
It only comes out that way when I write what it is I believe to be the truth..
When I am not being random..
Then again..
Even sometimes when I am random it happens..
My fingers just seem to write that way..
I can not help how my words are formed..
Or what it is I write..
If I do change something..
It is becuase I reread my words..
I let my emotions and thoughts flow into my hands..
They are my translators..

Also..
It might only seem like poetry..
Because the dots give the words more enphasis..
.....
Dots are the best..
.....
Unlike..

Hmm..
Wow..
I wrote emotions..
That is new for me..
But anyways..

As to your questions..
Are you trying to make me think along the lines of..
It is my word choices that portray my thoughts and emotions..
Not the form of my punctuation?

Then again..
I am not even sure what you are trying to say with using caps..
Few people do that..
And when they do..
I find it bothersome..

What I meant was..
Hmm..
Not even sure what the heck we were talking about..
But I know all caps means shouting..
That is why I find it bothersome when people do it when the say something like..
"HELLO. HOW WAS YOUR DAY? I AM A LITTLE BORED. MY FRIEND CAME OVER THOUGH."
Things like that..
Are bothersome..
It's like..
Can you not see that your caps lock is on?
What is IRC?

I am so young?
Because I am unaware of IRC?
I bet some kids younger than me know what that is..
I was without the internet for a very very long time during my life..
I didn't get into it until six months ago..
And please..
Youth just makes me more energetic in bed..
