Description

Like a boat out on the harbor that's been battered by the sea
I've been through some stormy weather but you shine alight for me

It's a lot like coming home from a long time walking out in the snow
Then I looked at you and knew I never knew nothin' and it broke this heart of stone
It's a lot like comin' home

So...As you can see from my last journal entry, I've been feeling incredibly unmotivated and uninspired to do art lately; it's been really frustrating. So I started this one initially, as an entry for a competition for Photoshop Creative. One of the required images was a penguin, and I was just going to have him floating here, when you now see a polar bear. What I didn't realize, was that you needed to use all stock images (leaves, a dirt bike (?!), and..something else silly). So, I ditched that idea, but I had already made the iceberg, which took about an hour on it's own (/icefail). So, by that time, I figured I might as well do something with it. You might notice (or maybe you won't), but this was inspired by most of =PSHoudini 's tutorial's on under-water things. =PSHoudini 's was the first tutorial I did a few months ago when I 'came back' to PS, and I'm forever grateful for the bump in inspiration.

Why a polar bear? Idk to be honest. xD
