Artist's Comments

Of Cloudless Climes and Starry Skies.

Done completely on Photoshop 7 using a Trust 4200 Tablet.

This is the finished portrait of my girlfriend Mandy, for our 1 year anniversary.

I am pleased with how this has come out, it has evolved considerably from the original idea in my head, I have learnt some new techniques that will come very handy in the future; some elements of this had at least 20 Layers each - the wings and marble border in particular. After starting to teach myself to use PS at the end of August, I am very proud of this piece and I hope you enjoy it too...

Very true - I was going more for the beauty in the night (although she's not walking obviously... :grin:) angle - and I have always loved that poem.

Glad you like the picture though.

Oh, my gosh! It looks so real and so beautiful.
I love her wings the most! :heart:

Wow! :D
Love those wings ...very.. shiny! ^_^

Thanks mate, it is true they are most twinkly. I got the effect from 2 main layers - underneath was a nice vague airbrushing tweaked with an outer glow of a quite vivid lemon yellow, the over layer was lots of layers of dots and blobs and sparkles at different opacities -I'm really pleased with the over all effect.
