"...for the illusion of perfect love"
...I think she's trying to figure out whether to kiss the frog or dissect it. I'll leave it at that. There's a lot of symbolism and stuff to think about if you just give it a second look (and full-view!). I did 3 different pictures to make it look a bit like shots from a movie or a comic, y'know adding some action and such. ---- Now for some credits: Model: Me. Photographer: Myself, and my mom (on the hands picture). Outfit: black lace shoulderthingy cape from H&M and a broche that belonged to my great grandmother. Tools/media: Canon camera, Photoshop 8.0, Wacom Tablet. Time spent: solely on the photomanip, about 15+ hours. Don't get me wrong, I love my art as if they were my own children, but this baby's been crying for too long and mommy needs a break! x: Stock used: - Frog: Toad 8 and Toad 11 by ~Battery-Stock - Tube: DSCF0005 by ~KERISTOCK - Heart: Heart 4 by ~cheeseinthestock - Frames: Frames by ~BrokenFeline-Stock - Textures: Rust Texture 1 by ~dead-stock (can't stop using this one) and also a few from Mayang's Texture Library Many thanks to all these great stock artists.  Hope you enjoy the picture(s)! Feel free to toss me some feedback. Also, if you enjoyed this one, you might enjoy Wireless Connection, too. Gogogo cyborgs! Daily DeviationGiven 2007-08-09"the Never-ending quest..." for perfect love is more than "just a manip" - it tells a story packed with symbolism and great lightning. Don't forget to take a look at ~Cado's gallery, too. (Suggested by *Aegis-Strife and Featured by `kuschelirmel) |

i love the skeleton showing through on the hand, very cool idea to bring the blue/turqouise colour into that area..

Love is patient...and kind; Love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs...It always protects, always hopes, always perseveres.
