Description this is just a step on the road to nowhere. its another part of a theme i keep returning to, what passes for art these days.

there are hours of my life in this that i will never see again. lots of stock photography. kudos and thanks to the respective photographers.

please, i want you to comment the hell out of this, its something i want to develop. thanks.

I think it looks pretty cool... I don't do photomanipulations so not sure how I could help you develop but.. goodluck!

this is really really cool.

the only thing i would re-think is the border. a thick, clean, black border would really highlight the piece.

love the texture, the lighting is very nice, too.

SilentMYSTIQUE [2003-09-24 16:56:09 +0000 UTC]

I would say the image looks a little 2 dimensional, (the body is a bit flat) I would suggest you can try to find a way to make it look more 3 dimensional. And I don't think the border fits into the picture, the numbers running down the side etc. A different color would work better too. Other than that, I think the concept is great, I love the textures and the overall concept. I'd love to see where this goes. I'm just being nit-picky Looks great, good job!

That peeling bark effect is very nice.
For some reason I look at this and I think crows head. Like I want to see a crows head instead of her head.
But that's the great thing about art, we all bring our own desires and interpretations to the text we view.

i really like your interpretation. thank you for noting that, when i saved the PSD of it i called it DRAGONROOST because it looks somehow birdlike, but reptilian. the combination of the extension from the front of the face and the fingers forming a kind of plume, and the large round eye have a very crow look. i really appreciate your comment

off to a very, very good start. i love the blending of the hand into the face, and you applied the texture very nicely. maybe a different color than white for the border? i don't dislike it, but there's something about the border that doesn't quite fit, maybe that's it? just something to consider playing around with. i'm interested in seeing how this turns out.
