Description Falling, trying to hold on, the sparks flourish into ravenous flames. Immense effort slides down her face; wasted in this starving world of crimson. Curled tight and braced for impact is key now that the mountains cascade into a pile of swirling dust. Her once secure facade is now crowded with insecurities. Tumbling, falling, falling...



Yeah. Just some vent art. The falling theme is a metaphor or symbol of sorts.

Well, I enjoyed doing this photomanip the most out of all of the ones I've done. The little sparkles around her legs and swirling around her & the constellation of her in the sky were extremely fun to do, and I feel like they add a little pizzazz Although this photomanipulation is probably one of the manips with the lesser layers, I feel like I did a whole lot more editing than I usually do. It was really hard to find stock that I felt created the art and the right atmosphere. I totally reshaped the wolf and added about a foot of fluff on her neck, just for a surreal touch. I kinda think I overdid the sparkles this time...



GIMP 2.6 let me create this photo!
I had around 15 layers, and it took me around 15 hours (not all at once)
The sky is from =ArwenArts [link]
The big mountain peak in the front is courtesy of ~Finsternis-stock [link]
The wolf stock is from *HOTNStock [link]
The nebula overlay texture I used at the very top I found here [link] by ~tytaniafairy

Please, NO art theft! You don't have to STEAL my art to show me you Love It!

It was really hard to shape the wolf from the original stock, which was a wolf walking, into a wolf falling! Hahaa

I was wondering how you got a stock of a wolf falling! haha
Looks like it worked out pretty well though.

Well, its basically that I'm falling from that point of high self esteem into an almost depression- like sadness fairly quickly... Just something I felt like I had to do to get this off my chest.....

Oh. Well, you can talk to your parents, or your brother. I'll be on here when I can (I check here almost every day), if you have something you want to talk about. I'm not a bad listener.
And, WOW!! That's...just...wow...

And yeah... so much for my love lifee....

It just takes a little patience. It could come at any time, even tomorrow. That guy was apparently not worth it. Try not to worry about it as much.
