Description

Finished this just in time for Samhain. I had gotten Al Dawson's tutorial from digitoils.com and he used the smudge tool in PSP. I decided to try my hand at it in Painter using some wonderful smudge brushes created by Don Seegmiller. I had a wonderful time painting them and wanted them as a backdrop for this image using Xena's wonderful Mayisha (available at PoserPros) and her dress. I am making a set of textures for the dress and this is one of them. Robin Wood graciously lent me her Athame model. I imported the pose into Cinema 4D from Poser and rendered it with a multi-pass saved to PSD to bring into Painter and Poser. Using the multi-pass and playing with the modes, I was able to bring out the bump map and get a real nice look to the dress and figure. I separated the body parts from the dress for more control. I then selected a color from the sky and did a color wash over the figure with a color layer in PS and knocked it back about 50%. I painted the foreground upon which I placed the figure and proceeded to paint the hair and scarf and correct things to composite things together. It was a lot of fun and I thank Xena for her great models, Robin for the Athame and Al Dawson for another new technique. And thank you for viewing.

miyu...it's hard to decide where to put it...mixed media doesn't get looked at as much...i don't like to cross-post, so I chose this gallery....but thank you for the comments. (You, too, Miss Laurie.)

Thank you, everyone, for your comments. I so enjoy hearing if people enjoy or even have a different perspective. You take the time to look and, for those of you here, to even comment. I am always so honored that people take the time with so many images to look at, to stop and take a glance at my offering. Thank you and all have a safe and happy Samhain, All Hallow's Eve and Halloween. Many sweets to you all.
