Description
I've been working on this for three freaking days now. It went through so many transformations after I'd already put a bunch of work into the previous versions. Originally there was going to be a castle in it. I abandoned that idea to put stone statues in the field like he's walking away from a surreal party. Then I went back to the castle idea. Then I thought....and on and on and on. I just wasn't happy with any of those versions. Thanks to what turned out to be a happy accident (see next paragraph) I'm finally happy with the finished results.And to top it all off when I was just ready to hit the submit button to upload the deviation, I realized I'd forgotten to credit one of the stock artists. Guess what? I forgot to document who the stock belonged to, spent an hour searching through the browse function for it, couldn't find it, and had to go back and redo that element with a stock image I did know the provider for! It turned out looking better anyway. So nyah to my stupid brain for forgetting.

Oh, this happened to me too before. I forgot or lost credits and had to redo or trash something. Somtimes it's luck, sometimes it's just... :/
Impressive photomanipulation. Dramatic enough and also like a moment where time stands still for a short while and a decision has to be made.

Thank you! Losing credits is annoying, but at least I didn't have to trash it like you. That would hurt.

Thank you! I"m so happy you like it. You're so right. Working with amazing stock makes the whole process so much easier. It's amazing how you can take one piece of stock or even the same two pieces of stock and put it in the hands of two different artists and get so many varying ideas. It's really interesting.

Yes, that is amazing. I could probably think of at least five more images I could make using some of the stock I used here. Yay! Inspiration. It's about dang time if you ask me. Now, we just need to get you back into your inspiration. Wish there was a way I could help, Sweets.
