Description When the evening falls
And the daylight is fading,
From within me calls
Could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray,
Then it holds me completely
Close to home - I cannot say
Close to home feeling so far away
- Enya

*sigh*
its early in the morning, im sick, and i have a deviation for you XD well this one turned out as a surprise to me. i was just fooling around, and one thing led to another and here you go :3 ive wanted to do size distortions for a while though and i think this turned out nicely. its very bitter sweet to me. seems that, even though she has wings, shes still afraid to fly. sounds an awful lot like me. take some advice, dont be afraid to go after what you want - in the end its worth it. i know too much about disapointment and regret. but you live and you learn, right?
god i hope so...


NOTE: photograph used can be found here :3

EDIT: fixed the picture in the picture frame - centered the butterfly :3

haha, thank you
but as for how to do it... it gets complicated, and ive never really been good at teaching. i mainly use the distortion features and sometimes the liquify tool on photoshop. but theres a lot more to it than that as well. over eight years of experimentation behind it XD
