Description
This is my first image made in B&W... It took me a hard work, hours in front of the pc and a few days...
I know I'm submitting a lot lately, but I guess I'll submit less often now... Not that i don't have ideas in my mind all the time to do manipulations, but because I rather to do quality images than some mediocre manipulations, made fast and without my feelings in it!
I confess I'm being very selfish lately, worring only about my problems and forgetting people that i love so much, and it must change!
I'll dedicate more to these ones I love so much... I was acting like a bitch, they needed me and all i wanted to do was to submit art... I won't say their names, these ones know who they are, and I hope they forgive me for that...
The original image was different, was to be something magical and enchanting, but when my eyes were opened, I decided to rework all the image and let my feelings guide me... This is the result...
Hope you all enjoy it!
Love,
Selva.

Well, I think that you... for being manipulating pics for only five months you are doing REALLY well I mean it. So dont be too hard on yourself dear, Art is about being patient and enjoying it. The problem is that this place "DA" makes people want to be great in short time and that`s imposible

Once again there is but one thing I would change in the whole peice, but this time it is the wings. The over lapping of the close one seems to be a bit to transparent, but I do, however, like the entire background and the outfit. Very nice work dear. xKia Lola

O facto de eu adorar tudo o que tenha asas e que o preto e branco sempre foi a minha escolha em fotografia para a magia que esta tem, faz-me olhar para o teu trabalho num extÒse perdido. Sem duvida, um grande cuidado que merece atenção.

It's a really cool image, just a little dark I think, but I really have no suggestions for making it brighter.

selva-amarga In reply to filt3r [2004-11-26 18:28:04 +0000 UTC]

i tried to do it brighter, but the background was very dark, so i put it as brighter as i could!

I love how smooth it is. I have a question, how do you do that to the hair? That is so awesome.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

selva-amarga In reply to lateralusSPIRAL [2004-11-26 18:25:59 +0000 UTC]

I use hair brushes...
When I use dar colors, a do several layers with differentes hair brushes, you can find them in da and download the at [link]
So, each hair layer i duplicate > filter > gaussian blur 16.0 in the layer bellow, in the layer above i put it in overlay!
Got me?
Maybe i'm was to confused...
Dunno...
