Description
This work was driven by sheer inspiration. I've been a big fanMaybe it was the tune that was playing, I don't recall. I just saw things happening here * no - psychedelics we not involved I promise* and that's what I filled in.. I'm fascinated by photo-manip and there are so many incredible talents here so I wanted to use this as my first foray into that area. No brushes / straight Photoshop. And thanks again to Blackfantastix / you are the best!

I really appreciate that! She is perhaps one of my fav models here on dA. Blackfantastix is also an incredibly sweet person and was kind enough to allow me to do this manip.
The moment I saw this image / what you see is literally what popped into my mind and had to get it out. Thanks again for the props.

Yeah it's one of those that even as a thumbnail is a memorable image. Great stuff - and so inspirational. All of her work is:

the initial idea here was this symbolized a breath outward with a smile / or even just the silent radiance of her smile itself. so no matter how we all interpret it, upon seeing this all sorts of light, scents, flowers and sound started to come to mind.
by itself this is an excellent piece. simplistic and brilliant.
in the spirit of the new mediums/collaborations and mash ups this felt like a good canvas to try my hand at photo manip.

No worries at all!! Yes, I was inspired and the image caught my eye as it did yours. In it's simple state it really did something in the way of "speaking to me", so I felt compelled to add what I saw.. If nothing else, quite a statement to collaborative work - and thank you so much for the props!

This one really caught my eye when I loaded up deviant's homepage for the first time in nearly two years! (yeah I've been taking a bit of a break)...Regardless, great piece of work! Even with out the photo-manipulation, the photograph is great! The model is excellent and has a very nice and sincere smile. The manipulated portion definitely adds to make it far more surreal. Thanks for allowing me to enjoy this piece of art and sharing it with the world!
