Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.
You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
I offer only the truth, nothing more.
Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill
spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
I know. That's why it's going to work.

I'm sorry for a cut-and-paste note but it's the only way to reply to so many comments.
-----
Firstly, thank-you for taking the time to view and coment 'Passion s 2' . It was a difficult decision weather to submit it or not, which image to submit, and I actually regret not posting my original choice, which was the direct follow up to 1: just heads and shoulders, and a kiss that could be interpreted in so many ways (from playful to loving to lovers).
A few thoughts in reply to some of the comments:
- I submit work on DA to share it with people, not to upset anyone: it seems that the subject matter however is considered 'sick' by a number of viewers. I apologise to them, however I fail to see how beauty and positive emotions (love or passion) between adults are 'sick', whilst bloodied bodies or staged suicide pictures (both very common and approved on DA) are not. Again however, apologies, and maybe avoid clicking in the future if the icon hints of an image that might upset you And by the way, I have 12 submissions in my galery, 2 are 'Passion': I don't put my work in DTF, I just submit whatever I think is worthy of sharing, you guys do the rest. Not my "fault"
- As stated before, I believe that the merit is indeed with the wonderful and wonderfully expressive models, however does that make the image less worthy of sharing? It might make me talentless, but here we are appreciating this image, not me And so what if they are beautiful? I don't think beauty is a bad thing, not just in people: I rather photograph a beautiful landscape than a garbage tip.
- I'm a little disturbed by the constant references to sickness, porn and perversion. Frankly I think that if it was a man and a woman in the embrace, no-one would have called it sick nor porn. Is two girls such a disturbing and perverted sight? Never mind that one is married, they are best friends, and the emotions can be interpreted in so many ways: some playful, some more. There is nothing explicit here, so it's the viewer that is interpreting.....
That's all I can think of now, sorry if I missed addressing your particular issue or question To everyone that took the time to comment, thank-you, and to those that enjoyed the two images, I am considering doing a quick web page in the coming weeks with the 10 best images from the shoot. BTW, in response of some accusations of "taking money from the deserving artists": I'm a humble amateur, I work in an unrelated field, art is just a hobby and I make $0 from it (in fact it costs me time and equipment). I wish....
Thanks again,
C

oh my bad, what an idiot i am for not realizing that you meant you wanted to work with video post when you said:
I know this probably get annoying with people asking where they can find tutorials, but ohwell. I am just wondering if anyone knows how to make a space scene in 3dsm.
Btw dude... if i were you i wouldn't carry on with this since you are starting to look like the troll you want to make me look, you are the only one who's restorted to name calling and your story have switched a few times already:
1st- you say make a forum thread without mentioning the words "stars" or "video post" asking how to make a whole scene. Unless if anyone knows how to make a space scene in 3dsm. ... is an open statement in your country that can switch the meaning when desired.
2nd- say you meant stars
3rd- And now you say it was video post.
drop this man... you don't even know what you want.

damn forum trolls (cough.project9.cough.cough) ya i wanted to start a thread on how to work video post. silly me thought that jackasses like you werent going to invite yourself to try and harass me.
"please keep it clean of the usual nonsense around here"
ya... i asked a question and you gave me the "usual nonsense around here" so again please just dont waste space on da's servers by posting moronic comments like you always do.

just to let you know:
a) If you write "space tutorial" in google you might find much more results than any of us could give you.
b) Search engines like google, were made for those "so busy" people, but there's a minimum level of intelligence required too.
c) A space scene is much more than the planet and the lensflare... and for the stars, just a photoshoped photograph does the job perfectly.
You were the one who wanted to start something in the 3d forum... please keep it clean of the usual nonsense around here.
