Description
This is for =Emerald-Depths 's contest here: [link]Edit: Holy cow, people, I won for the advanced group! I'm flabberghasted!
Wow, had no idea which photomanip category to put this in. Couldn't decide between 'conceptual' since it really is about an old photograph coming to life, or landscape. This system gives me headaches, haha. (or more likely my indecision)
Figured I'd try my hand at a full photomanipulation for once as I only have one other in my gallery, and that was really just painting on top of another picture, not really meshing a lot of them together. I really enjoyed doing this actually so I might try some more of them later.
Basically you're given a bunch of stock and told, 'here, make something with this!' So I went with the idea of an old country photo where the cowboy's realized not everything is quite as it seems.
Now for the mass amounts of credits.

Wow, I really enjoyed this piece. I love the way you've used the figure to break out of the frame, energizing the whole piece. It has a very wistful quality to it. Well done!

Well I'm glad you enjoyed it. Gotta work on the rest though, as I feel without that little bit it would've fallen quite flat, but at least there is that element. Yay fun elements.
So thanks again for allowing the use of your stock for this project!

Haha, well thank you, I'm super-glad you like ^_^
I'm still surprised/blown away by the fact that, not only was I put in the advanced group, but that I actually won. Maybe I should put down the paints and work solely on photomanip, eh? haha, j/k

Haha, I know, it's always a shocker. I hadn't known I won something for one of my stories and when someone told me, I was going nuts. Jeez, how do you do it ALL? lol

What'd you win and what for? (if you even remember that is...)
And I'm just the epitome of 'Jack of all trades, master of none'. Sometimes I wish I could just devote to one but I'm too spastic and find far too many things diverting. So I'll never be amazing at any one thing, but I enjoy myself and never have the opportunity to find myself bored with so many different things to do! haha.

Oh, you just get a banner that someone draws. It's really nice. Over at dokuga.com (a SessKag site) I won 3rd Best Canon (I think it was canon).
See, I'm the opposite. I find things interesting, but I usually am not as satisfied as I am with writing, so I abandon it. But now that I WANT to write, I can't. Go figure.

Ah, yay banners! Those are always fun ^_^
And why are you unable to write?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, they are! Actually, I had to make some banners for my Haiku contest (since I'm putting them up for voting very soon) and I couldn't believe how much fun it was! I was sad when I finished.
Well, between taking care of the baby during the day, and then doing dinner and cleaning up, then checking email and stuff... plus, if I stay up late, I can't function in the morning when the baby wakes up. So I try not to stay up too late. And I can't write little parts at a time - I have to sit and write for hours in order for anything to make sense, and I just don't have that kind of time. It's just the kind of writer I am, unfortunately. D:
