Description They say that when Pandora opened the box and saw what came out of it she closed it and left the hope inside...
I feel like hope is sill locked up in that box...waiting for someone to release it...
Is hope a mere illusion?

EDIT: I totally forgot to tell where from I got the idea for title...

...Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...

S-Sabina In reply to jannaaikadeja [2009-06-01 15:01:20 +0000 UTC]

You mean the model...I changed the Color balance and Brightness/Contrast settings on the reflection to make it darker and lightened the model with Diffuse glow and dodge, and maybe desaturated it a bit...I think...I opened the PSD to try to realize what I've done...I made it a year ago, so I'm not sure...
