Description
Tears don't only lurk in the darkest and dullest of places.

Just wanted to try out some Photoshop filters and brushes that I came across on a tutorial - [link]
Wanted something a little Japanese oriental (in terms of colors, anyway). Didn't really follow the tutorial as much as just grabbed the resources. xD

EDIT: Changed colors up a little, changed up background.

I used a load of stuff in this, I reckon. xD

Resources:
Model: ~Katanaz-Stock - [link]
Butterfly: *Shoofly-Stock - [link]
Japanese Style Brushes: *melemel - [link]
Petal Brush: ~redheadstock - [link]
Victorian Floral Brushes: =MouritsaDA-Stock - [link]
Flower Brush: *crazykira-resources - [link]
Eyelashes Brushes: [link]
Beautiful Flowers Brushes: ~coolwing - [link]
Marker Brush: *crazykira-resources - [link] [link]
Splatter Brush: [link]
Watercolor Splatter Brush: [link]
Bird Brushes: ~CkyGFX - [link]
Sun Burst Brush: ~JavierZhX - [link]
Peeling Paint Textures: =kuschelirmel-stock - [link] [link]

I cannot find where I got the tear brushes from. If you know, please let me know! No copyright infringement intended.

Wow! I love the impact of this one! I again I thought I recognized the stock model ; )

I can really relate to the idea of the title and concept : ] They don't always lurk in dark places at all.

Lokiev In reply to ClefairyKid [2011-01-16 02:15:28 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah, this is a really popular stock, and I think for good reason too.

No, not at all. I think about how every time people do some crying image, it's always dark, but I think it can be bright too.

ClefairyKid In reply to Lokiev [2011-01-16 03:14:13 +0000 UTC]

My very first ever manipulation was a crying one, and mostly dark xD But I'm still pretty proud of it looking back, it was a good start and represented real feelings : ]

Lokiev In reply to ClefairyKid [2011-01-16 03:15:09 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah. I think I have done a dark crying one too. I forget. o-o
I delete stuff from my gallery now and again, so yeah.

Art is a representation, eh.

Haha, it doesn't take all that long if you read the tutorial once and roughly know what to do, actually.

Thanks!

PoysinedFaerie In reply to Lokiev [2010-10-08 03:27:07 +0000 UTC]

lol, no problem. its not the knowing how to do it part its the reading the tutorial part that gets me because most tutorials i've read have been lengthy and time consuming

Lokiev In reply to PoysinedFaerie [2010-10-08 03:33:43 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I mostly know HOW to do things, I'd just like to see what new ideas there are. So I just look at the images and I'll roughly know how to do it. xD

Well, I think I've mentioned before that I usually listen to songs and look up quotes, and those usually inspire me for ideas. (:

Hm.
Maybe you can do some idea generation exercises. Like.. if you think of the phrase 'don't look a gift in a horse's mouth', what ideas do you come up with? xD
