(Edit) : Alot of you seem to think this is a photo manipulation, it is not! haaa the reason I want to clearify this is because I've spent so much of everthing on it and want it to be what it is! If this was a photo manipulation i wouldn't have been so proud. But do note the reference for this IS of a photo of ME which i will upload soon in my scraps.

When Something Enchants Me...I forget the things and people around me as if I am the only person spinning in hyperspace lost within the magic and contency of having found something so grand, to myself.

Have you ever felt that? Do you let yourself feel that?

I dedicate this to all artists who would do nothing but put their best effort in their passion, not sell out for anything that might hurt others, appreciating their circumstance so they can create digital art, or have the time of day to sketch, take photographs, write their random thoughts in hope of elevation and pure enjoyment.

I'm not trying to save the world - but there are people who are doing it with less than we've got, and more so of people who are killing it with more than we can ever have.

Dark art is easier to do, happiness is the hardest to capture.

Used:

Photoshop 7.0
My own brushes
My own reference photo (of course I don't look that good as it is on here hahaha, i gota allow myself to idealise eh?)

Even though this looks alot like a brushed photo - it isn't because I decided I won't take any easy routes - at all. So all is done by my microsoft mouse. I will upload sample progress in my scraps.


I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I loved making it. I haven't slept for a while, or eaten much - I wanted to make something worthwhile, to me and to you all. Let me know what you think.
