Description I was asked to participate in a photomanipulation contest .... This is my entry.

"Just A Glance" A vampire ...... wanting just one look ... paying the ultimate price to enjoy one of life's many pleasures. I figured since this was the one and only time this creature was going to view a sunset I should make it a good one.

Everything was made in PhotoShop ..... the stock ofcourse was taken from the contest page ........ darkened and edited a little .... added some color and a sunset. Picture basically made itself. The birds are brushes and the fire is a stock. The wings were taken off the dragon from a recent deviation called "Planet Draco" and the sparkles in the water are brushes as well. Everything will be linked below.

Critique Welcome! More like Wanted!!! Id appreciate any feedback on this piece. Dont be brutal tho

Time Spent: about 5 hours altogether
Tools Used: PhotoShop

Thank You I do try to add as much color as i can gives it more life if you ask me .... Although sometimes it makes the picture look more fake ... Eh ... Thanks tho i appreciate the comment and the kind words Much appreciated!

2dazed In reply to lockjavv [2007-01-21 15:27:38 +0000 UTC]

As for fake, I guess it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I like your art though because it reminds me of those black-light posters. Remember when they were popular? Mb they still are, anyway, your art doesn't need a black-light to glow. It already does it. Lmao! I know that's not a classical compliment, but it's true.

lockjavv In reply to Xathrax123 [2006-11-23 16:49:43 +0000 UTC]

actually i figured a sunrise wouldnt be as colorful so i made it a sunset. Guess either one would fit tho ... thanks for the comment maybe i should change it to sunrise .. -thinks
