Description
Do you cry to the heaven's highwhen you're confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder why
these leaden tears will never dry?
They’ll leave behind so many shadows in my mind
High in the sky, all of the clouds are passing by
Wait for this storm, wait for the rain,
and wait for the tears to fall down on me
- Blank infinity - Epica

Very emotional piece. The tears are beautifully maniped. Winged cross/sphere and twisted branches are great finds!

Lovely choice of colors. The model could use a bit more clean-up on the edging, by either using a soft eraser brush or a smudge tool at 25% opacity. There are good tutorials on YouTube about how to erase backgrounds, which is how I learned how to create tubes and clear-cuts out of photos

You are right, I looked mainly at the hair (and let the program make all the work), and not enough to the easier parts.
Thank you for the advice.
I'll surely take a look.

Your too!!!
About this model, it seems you encountered the same difficulty as me.
I like a lot that stock, but I feel that she has a story to tell, and requires space around her.
In this, you have done better...

I wish you had made the required stock larger in the picture plane. That's one of the challenge expectations. Right now as it is, the background area takes up more space, and I'm not sure what's going on in the image.
Anyway, I know you may not be able to redo this idea (the basic idea is okay), just remember such things for future manips.

But I can, as I saved all layers of my work, so it wasn't so hard.
Fixed so:
Moved the objects, and reduced the background area as much as possible, I couldn't do more than this because I need some space to give the idea of highness.
And changed the file: now, it's visible the fixed one.
Anyway, no problem.
If it isn't enough, I will accept my work to be a non competitive entry
