Description I didn't really have a clear picture of what I wanted in mind when I started this piece. All I know is I wanted to use these lovely stock images. Sometimes my best work is unplanned, though, and this is not an exception.

Heck, I even struggled with the title for this one, and that's something I almost *never* have problems with.

This is just one of those pieces that came together on its own and I don't know why I like it, but I just do.

Stock used:
Model: *faestock

Background: =irinama

Brushes: *Axeraider70

Same brushes converted by: ~kabocha (Yes, I think they deserve credit, or else I'd not be able to use them.)

All other texture and effects are just me, working my own magic with Photoshop.

I would smooth out the grainyness of the archway some.

If you have CS2 or better... Use the channels and go into each individual one, red, green, blue, and apply surface blur to them individually. Some will need a stronger blur than the others. Surface blure is great because it keeps a the edges crisp.

I would also darken up the inner portion of the arch. Either using the burn tool or a layer effect radial gradient overlay.

That being said... Awesome movement and use of brushes here.

Yeah, it wasn't until I uploaded it that I noticed the pixels in some parts of it. If I get ambitious this weekend I will fix and re-upload it.

And those brushes are awesome ... favorite ones I've ever downloaded.
