Description ..we all build them
and i guess, if i had my way.. this is how i would travel to mine

(and if you're a fan of Lord of the Rings, like i am, the eagle was one of my favorite parts..)


apparently not as blocked as i thought i was
i had started this the other day but had kinda gotten stuck on it and was kinda bleh at painting all the detail on the eagle cause it was a statue (shh we don't have to tell anyone she's flying to a skycastle on a statue hehe)

manipulated with Adobe Photoshop
enjoy

very sweet concept - I love the idea of flying to your very own castle

the forground is a tad too blurry for my taste though.

bruised-rainbows [2005-11-20 10:12:20 +0000 UTC]

ohhhh very nice! I love the colours you chose as well as the entire concept itself. the one critique I have is the focus of the girl's hand. it's TOO in focus in conjunction with the rest of the body and the eagle..just a minor detail though

Touch-and-Go In reply to bruised-rainbows [2005-11-22 08:30:10 +0000 UTC]

thank you for the critique though i'm not sure i agree, since the same filter was applied all at once to the entire 'body'
the jewelry on her hand may make it appear to be sharper

glad you liked it anyway

green-domino [2005-11-09 05:17:43 +0000 UTC]

This is stunning! I love the clarity of the mountain and the castle perched on it's tip. The clouds part perfectly for the 'camera' following her. The blur of the eagle is an interesting touch of character. It leaves her the center of attention. Mucho kudos for this one girlie, well done!

When I first saw this in your avatar for Yahoo I thought it was a dragon of some kind It was before I saw this deviation!

i thought an eagle would be more more interesting and, in a way, more 'friendly' than a dragon
