Forget your perfect offering.

That's how the light gets in.

this is the original image i used in the making of my cd cover entry for ~auralis-stock contest. i love the colors and the simplicity of the image. nothing over the top here :3 and im proud - i only used one stock image this time. shades, colors, and proportions are my favorite things to mess around with and i think i did all of them here. a secret meaning? after all, i dont make something out of nothing. theres always something there in the back of my mind. i guess you can figure it out for yourself this time XD

The face is... bearable, but everything else is severely flawed.

That's beautiful looks kind of surreal like a china doll...

I love the marriage of the real and unreal here, the living and that which suggests life ... do you ever look at a doll and wonder what it might be thinking? Is the question really that hard?

Beautiful.

I love your big eyes! Except whenever I try to do it the pupil and everything gets big too and it looks funny, how do you keep your pupils so small? Freeze them?

lol, theres no freezing effect that i know of on photoshop XD but i dont really know 0.o i just make my eyes big, ive never really paid attention to the pupils much. i guess if you really wanted to try and fix large pupils you can try the liquify tool to help. other that that, im not really to sure.

I am absolutely in love with your digital paintings. the "doll like" way you make them is just breath taking.
