Description DA's system of classifying art work purely sucks. It's all geared towards weeding out the web cam dorks, which I can understand, but at the same time it causes us more involved artist to suffer... >end bitch phaze.

Finally another photomanip. This was made using SueAnnaSTOCK [link] and one of the most under rated artists on DA - Drive [link] These are my dearest friends on DA cept... Skantfa [link]

I'm partial to the concept, and I love the background and clouds.

Thanx as always for the feedback. The scorching on the face is actually part of the original photo, I wish I had a better version but eh, oh well.

Thanx on the comment for the wiring.

Thank you so much. I need to go back and fix that plat I agree. Though, after a little thought I am contemplating continuing the riveting across her face. Engfff so time consuming. The sparks... I was trying to give it a soft feeling, I want them to be more like falling glowing embers rather than zipping electrical arcs. Did I pull it off well? Fill me in. The grain/noise in the image I actually added in to make her face more like the stock photos I used.

Thanx for commenting on the border too because it was very intentional. I will go back and fix some of the fringing though I'll probably do it using the eraser tool and paint them away. With that method I'll have a little more control of where and how much I want to fix it. Ramble ramble......

Thanx!

Excellent point! I've over looked that. I should move the layer that has the embers on it underneath the layer that adds the noise, though I think I might have to do it the hard way and make the noise only on that layer. Thank you so much!

Nice try, but some critiques. The blending with teh pipes is pretty good I like the the idea with the electric cable I guess and the sparks coming out are really cool. But I think you should take the blur tool around the girls arm so that it looks a little more set with the background. Only one problem withj teh overall blending, the plate on the face, I dont really know how to make it better since Iam not much of a photomanipulator but I just don't like the overall blending. Finally I think that the border should be a border and be the top layer so that you can't see all the pipes and stuff. Ask for a better explanation.

Thanx for the feedback. After looking over the piece I agree that the shading on the face plate look to sharp and I should spend a little bit more time on the details of making her more in the seen. I'm thinking that maybe I should have posted this under work in progress he he... As far ass the border goes it was intentional. Thanx!
