Crap! This took longer than expected but it seems to be worth it, isn't it? Well, I think it's pretty ok even though I spent a lot of my time, effort and stock into it. Actually, to tell you frankly, I did not actually have a theme in my head. Alright, maybe I did at the start but because of my mediocre skills, I abandon the original plan and ended up slapping anything I can find on the image. It ended up having the theme "White" or pretty much like that. The title of the manipulation has not been easy to think of but stuff like "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Lady in White" etc. They all sound kind of unoriginal, not that I'm saying the current title is but it seem to fit better.

I had difficulty with clouds for a looooooong time ever since I had accepted the fact that my parents were not getting a higher version of Photoshop for me and I'm not a fantastic artist. Armed with only a Photoshop 5.5, I had to make wonders with cloud pictures since practically every cloud brush on dA were not compatible with my program. I think I did a pretty good job with the clouds because they look waaaaaaaay better than before. The horse looks out of place but without it, I have that feeling that something was missing so let's adapt to the presence of the horsie! ;D

This was made for 's contest. I know I'm never going to beat those awesome people who have already submitted entries but I guess it's no harm trying. (: My first attempt at humans so forgive me if it was not done properly.

Behind the image: A Goddess from the Moon had flown down from her home, on to Earth. The planet was much spoken about in her homeland and she was taught that there were many interesting creatures that lived there. Taking advantage of the time when her father, the ruler, was away to Pluto for a friend's party, the curious princess sneaked down to Earth.

As she wandered on the unfamiliar land, she had made friends with some oddly-looking creatures who all were loners or abandoned by their family. As she lingered in the fascinating place, she soon fell in love with a man from this place. A year on Earth was a day on the Moon so after she had got married with this man who loved her as much as she loved him, a few years soon passed. The king of the Moon soon discovered about his youngest daughter's absence and he was absolutely angered when he was alerted that the besotted princess had married a mere mortal. The worried father managed to contact his daughter by commanding the clouds to form words that was only understood by citizens of the Moon. Upset by her father's words, she managed to capture a butterfly and conjure words on its delicate wings before sending the messenger off.

Furious at the girl's response, he severed ties with his daughter and swore never to have care about his disobedient child but deep inside his heart, he was hoping his darling princess would have a good life on Earth. Unfortunately, because of her identity as a Moon Goddess, she was unable to grow old very quickly because her age still depended on the time on the Moon and thus, when her husband passed away, she was devastated and once again felt lonely without her family and husband.

In this picture, it shows the Moon Goddess feeling remorseful about her behavior as she could finally understood why visits to Earth were restricted to only a few people and even visits were strictly supervised. With her magic, she sends butterfly messengers to her family and with her faithful animal pals, beg for forgiveness from her family, especially her father, to allow her back to her homeland. (Apparently the horse was late so yeah. )

Lol... A story that would sound ridiculous if told to my friends so hopefully, I would not be laughed at for my lack of creativity and lack of talent at story-telling.
