Description I hated the background of this photo and have manipulated it to be pure white. I also did my best to air brush out the straps on the wings.

You can buy copies of this on bags, postcards, mugs and journals at Cafe Press. The majority of the proceeds go to the kids education fund.

A charity and good artist unique combination! How you put the wings in the way that it appears almost natural?

he was wearing the wings, and in photoshop I just coloured over the little white elastic straps that were holding them on with some flesh tones. Thanks so much for your comment.

He would be flattered by that comment. He wants to do movies, i just have to find a decent agent.

Heh, yeah, funnily enough another little boy angel was submitted on the same day. They are usually pretty rare.

Im thinking of asking *justmeina if he can create some poses like an angel/cupid. He's a male nude stock artist, and by the sounds of it a really nice guy.

Lovely job, I like how you softened the edges to give it a more misty look, and you did a great job getting the straps off!

thanks, it was a first attempt at air brushing, I'm sure I'll improve.

The trick I use is I take the paint brush and under options or whatever it is you can set the opaqueness, I take it down to 20-30% or so and go to town. That trick is good for blending, that is how I get rid of zits in my pics, lol.

astraldreamer In reply to kskerr [2007-01-08 02:08:56 +0000 UTC]

I did take down the opaqueness, but I couldn't get the colour right. I really didn't spend that much time on it.

Didn't you use the eyedropper to select the color?

astraldreamer In reply to kskerr [2007-01-08 04:59:57 +0000 UTC]

I did, but I still wasn't happy with it. I could have tweaked the colour, I know how, but I was just too lazy.
