Description As she walked home after work, a song replayed itself in her mind

"What I'm searching for
to tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
Walking by myself
down avenues that reek of time to kill..."

Someone grabbed her shoulder and she spun around.
A camera bulb flashed in the dark.

"Sorry" he said sheepishly, "I just couldn't help myself."

-------
First off, I adore that song. I listen to it on repeat non-stop. [link]

I thought this idea up after I finished memoirs of a geisha(big surprise there). The little blip of a story at the top is to explain why she is in a different light than the rest of the scene. I wanted it to seem as if she was the subject of a photo.

Anyway, this took way too long. Big thanks to [link] for her amazing stock.
And yes, I know the scan is terrible, the original is 18x24. The peacock feathers are not cut off in the original as well.

It's midnight and I have to be up at 6am tomorrow, goodnight!

Great concept!!
The whole thing is cool, love the details in the bg.
I hate scanning big traditional work in, never looks as good. Feel your pain.

Thanks, it's always nice to know I'm not the only one hated by computers and their minions.

Fantastic work! I really like this. It has such a unique flavour, I've never seen a geisha with piercings like that before The details are really impressive.
