Description

Amazing...I think I just got a hit of inspiration for a fanfiction story. Wonderful. You drew the girl extremely well, and the whole feel of the picture is just right. I <3 it!

As far as I know, opium was a drug much in favour with artists and writers during Poe's time. It's not certain Poe took it, but it's quite likelyβ¦

Great job with this! I love all the different element you collected that would be in Poe's study. Excellent work!

saperlipop In reply to Azynia [2009-02-13 13:51:06 +0000 UTC]
Youβre the first one to mention the different elements I used to make it feel as if it was Poeβs study it makes all the searching I did for the right stock worth while! Thank you so much, Michelle!

Working with light and shadow is the thing I find the most difficult when I put together manips Iβm so happy you like the way I did them here.

I wanted to use the feather and cross but had trouble blending then in so I just kept the drops. They're tiny but I like them.
Thanks a lot, Kitty!

Poe would have been lucky in this case, but unfortunately most of his damsels ended up not so luckyβ¦
