Description THIS IS A HUGE IMAGE.

This took me about two hours to create, which is insane considering the retouching took about... half an hour? xD

You can either fullscreen it to see the tutorial, or download it. Please remember that all images in this belong to me, as does the tutorial. If you like it, please !

Final product can be found here: [link]

I'm glad to hear it helped you greatly! I haven't made another one in a while, but I have been thinking about it. Perhaps next time I am retouching, I will make one. C:

You cleaned up those nails better than I!

Good Job! The crop works well. I choose not to crop my photo, I'll explain why in my tutorial.

And I fricken hate those mood emotes on the side, I click out of the text box and click there, rarely. Grr. And you can't 'undo!'

Took me a whole 10 minutes to do this time. I... have had to do a lot of fine detail work with the clone brush thanks to my sister's braces, so I've gotten fairly decent at it. >.>;

Sounds good to me! Can't wait to see yours!

(Just refresh LMAO)

comicidiot In reply to Saknika [2009-02-14 08:48:17 +0000 UTC]

I believe I've heard of it... If I have, It's up there with MOUS - Microsoft Office User Specialist - but much higher. And If I haven't, it's up there now =3

Saknika In reply to comicidiot [2009-02-14 08:57:20 +0000 UTC]

Man... I didn't know about MOUS. Probably because I've never taken any MSOffice classes. But I bet I could get that in due time too. :3
