Description Hello everyone...
If it's still possible, this is for =cosmosue 's contest.

Totally inspired by the world of Narnia. Near the sea is the Cair Paravel (I don't know if this is the name in english)...

Credits: ~THT-stock SXC and `aleksandra for some brushes.

Thats soo pretty *u*

But... Cair Paravel is the portuguese's name. Where are you from?

It's Cair Paravel everywhere--it doesn't translate from the original English, I guess.
This is gorgeous, and truly amazing!

Really? It's just that my silly old translation translated all the names... like Lucy - Lúcia, Peter - Pedro, and so on... so I thought Cair Paravel was one of them, since it has a portuguese-like sound, and "cair" means "to fall" (witch never really made any sense to me anyway )

I'm a real Narnia-freak, and I'm not charmed easily, but this was very very good! I'm thinking of Ramandu's daughter when I see this! Lovely.

A breathtaking depiction of Narnia, the colors are mesmerizingly chosen in the midst of what looks like very realistic mist, and most of all I especially adore the linking of the moon and star.

Wow, thank you very much ! I tried to do the best i could and I'm very happy you liked Thanks so much ! and the moon and the star has nothing to do with Narnia, isn't it ? lol but who cares ?

Thank you so much !!

seraphicsylph In reply to Derfel [2006-01-22 03:04:34 +0000 UTC]

I haven't really read any of the Narnia series yet so I dunno much about the scenery; but I can assure you the moon and the star, aside from being the most magical touches to the manip, are the best parts of it as well. Everything's so perfect, like the shadows on the crescent and the detail on the string. It's such a simple idea honestly, yet I'm blown away that you seem to be the only person who thought of this.
And thanks for the comment on my piece, I'm honored that you think so.

I LOVE the string around the moon!! I wish I could do something like that! Did you use the pen tool or just freehand draw it yourself?? It's such a beautiful version of Narnia!

Hey, dear ! I'm so sorry for being late to answer... =\ Well, makes me really glad to see you liked ! Thank you so much ! And the string was just freehand and I'm sure you can do much better than that !

This is a well executed manipulation. Usually I don't like fantasy images that look like this (too bright and/or fuzzy), but you handled it quite well. I really like this. Good job!
