Artist's Comments

Right, I'm just going to post this before I end up going to bed at 3 AM. I might edit a few small changes tomorrow.

I've had this idea for a while. The inspiration was a mix of a failed photomanip I did about 4 months of a satyr, the Labyrinth movie (the old one with David Bowie), and, I guess, a most busy couple of weeks at school. I needed to do something else than XHTML/CSS. The result was this... albino faun, which ended up having many more colours and light sources than I had anticipated. But what can I do, I'm a regular light source whore these days. It's so much fuuuun! : D

In the words of David Bowie - Within You:
"How you turn my world, you precious thing,
you starve and near exhaust me,
everything I've done, I've done for you,
I move the stars for no one."



Model is me. Photoshop 8.0, Wacom Tablet, a lost sanity.
I made this instead of doing my homework. :/

Stock used:
By the horns 04 by ~cypherstock
Everything else is by me.

What a nifty watermark bandana she got herself, huh? D;

-----

Edit: moved watermark and changed font to something appropriate, darkened the back horn, higher contrast/brightness, made the corner ornaments less dominant and messy, cropped and made extra marks below the front horn.

Now I actually like this image. : D

Edit the edit:
Final edits (I hope):
As the result of great feedback, the hair now moves according to the horn, and not just underneath it. Other changes: better merging of the horn vs. skin and more details to the hair.

I've changed it so much from the original now, that I'm taking the liberty of spamming your Devwatches with this new version. Sorry! Hehe.

Old one for comparison: [link] What do you think?

der er noget ved der hvor hornene sidder fast. Ser lidt mærkeligt ud.. ellers er det sgu et fedt billede. Dejlige farver i det, som det er.
