Description this is for a contest over at :wingit-stock: [link]

this one bout killed me. i'd say about 5 days for this one maybe a bit more. I built the fairy then the room in the pic and then the background for the pic itself to lay on. *falls over*

if you want to see a close detail of the room i made, without the magnifying glass etc. it's here :

aww thank you so much sweetie. My manips tend to take awhile cause I like to make them detailed and interesting! So it's good to hear they are!

THis is absolutely stunning - I can't fault it! Your concept lifts it way above the usual pretty/cute/sweet/storybook fairy images, & your attention to detail is wonderful - I had a look at the link to the room. Richness of colour & pretty well perfect execution - congratulations.

wow...thank you so much I'm just wow. The whole concept to me was that she is actually a friend of the person that owns the room so he took a picture of his friend. I wanted her to be the lone fairy also because I wanted her to convey strength that she is absolutely comfortable in her surroundings.

My manips take longer to do than other artists it seems. I literally start with a base of a person, or in the case of my Gambit manip just a face, and then I build everything from there.

I don't like using pre-made backgrounds because to me it feels like I'm cheating and I'm not actually making the art but using art done by someone else. I try to build and make pieces as much as time allows but yeah....thank god for single stock items.

And I'm UBER picky about it all fitting seemlessly together with no rough edges, it's probably a very good thing I'm not OCD I'd never even finish one!

*hugs tight* thank you so much again for the wonderful compliment!

My pleasure.
I'm with you on not using premade backgrounds - I get great satisfaction in creating my own & getting the details as close to how I envision them as possible.

it did but I didn't really notice till i got up from the desk. *laughs* and saw how RED my eyeballs were. I looked like i'd be staring at the sun or something!

but the tiny details make it more fun i think, 'specially if you try to see them all.

thank you for the comment sweetie!

I know what you mean, I used to spend up to 17 hours on some of my manipulations. But these days I just don't have the time anymore. Sadly. My skills have become quite rusty.

You are definitely talented enough trust me!

Oh I would not call it just a "study" - it is really beautiful. I especially like how you have utilized the magnifying glass to make the focus point not just "larger" but sharper too. Great job!

And thanks for the link.
