Description Sparks seem to fly as the wolf with the silken fur glides through the grass, letting the moon light her path. While running through a brief clearing, she feels a sense of elation when considering all that she has accomplished in the past few sunrises.
Dapadel breaks from her trance- like state to see little glimmers of light bouncing around her fur, reminding her of that one, lonely night....



Dapadel is one of my OC's that I haven't drawn yet. She is an ancient wolf, however she is still very alive and well for her age. Her shady history gives her a very bubbly personality on the outside, however she is really a rather secretive and anti- social character. In this picture, she is on her way back to her mate Strongwind after a long journey to a place she considers her fortress. Dapadel doesn't feel like elaborating on the details of her journey too much; she prefers to keep a lot of the things she does under wraps.

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.



GIMP 2.6 let me create this photo!
I had around 25 layers, and it took me around 15 hours (not all at once)
The Sky and Moon is from *venomxbaby , as well as the grass

MooseFlame In reply to Sokew [2012-08-20 18:52:12 +0000 UTC]

no probs yes indeed it does! Have you got any tips? And, noob as it sounds , how do you actually start a composition?

Sokew In reply to MooseFlame [2012-08-20 19:06:20 +0000 UTC]

Yes! Look around dA and there are some fabulous tutorials about everything you need to know!!
And if by composition you mean starting a new image to work on, then this tutorial should cover it!

i say you should make her paws go into the grass she is too into the foreground she needs to be in sync

Sokew In reply to LewieD-viant [2012-08-16 02:50:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the feedback!
And yes, I do see how I could have blended her more into the scene, but since the grass wasn't that thick or long, I didn't wanna mess up and make it look too obvious
