I used a very very big bunch of different effects and lil tricks in PSto get this done, I really wanted to add some kind of feeling a specialsort of mood to it. And it turned out nearly exactly as I would haveliked it to be.
The background is completely digital painted only using a photo asreference for the shape and shadows on a stone and rocky wall.
The "mood" on this was a bit inspired by this artwork done by my sister *lizkay ( www.fanart-central.net/pic-527801.html ) but only inspired.
You may remeber the sketch of this, you can also find it in my scraps!
The original file has got 200 dpi and it's size is 1600x1900 pixels, Iwould have made it bigger and with 300 dpi but I was afraid that mycomp would not be able to "handle" such a big file.
The original working file has got 79 layers (50 visible), 27 individuallayer masks, 3 layers with special layer styles, partially colouredoutlines, a cell shading and cell based light areas and two additionallayers for an additional gradient shading.
I think I can dare to say that I really have become a pro with PS.
You're insane... how the hell are you so good..?
