This is my first stab at true photo manipulation. I've done a fair amount of photo retouching before, but this is my first in depth exploration into the creative possibilities of digital painting and photo manipulation. I basically put my knowledge of traditional drawing and painting to work to pull everything together... but there are definitely some things about it that could be better... the elements aren't as well integrated as I would like, and contour reflected light prob would help.... Cest la vie... on to the next experiment!

Thank you for looking!
