Description But named for one. In a sense. My friend, ~The-Imperfect , named her character, Esme. A name which we found on an Angel website/database. Ehh. That part's a long story. In any case, I made this for her as her character picture. It also happens to be my second 'official' photo-manipulation! Hurrah! Turned out pretty well, I think. Although, again, I need to practice more with hair. He's supposed to have platinum blond hair. Does it look like platinum blond to you? It doesn't to me. Yet here I sit pleased with myself anyway.

Stock Photo: Fabulous stock photographer, btw.

Painted in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

This piece reminds me of my spirit guide Ynycornus. The delicate color of how white his hair is against the white background gives a mystical feel. I love it.

Yay for pretty guys! It's strange how the white looks... So white! Mostly the hair, but it adds a different (and nice) touch :3

That was me finally giving up and drawing white hair. I could not figure it out...so I cheated and used the white background to my advantage. Muah ha. Hurrah for cheating!

He has that deadened look. I didn't get that impression from it myself until after I did the eyes. The model has brown eyes, but I wanted paler eyes. They're violet, actually, but the size of the picture makes that kinda hard to see. But anyway, if anyone has a right to look lifeless, it's him. LOL

wonderful! You've been practicing a lot, this looks incredible!!
I love how the white areas of his hair and shirt mix with the white of the background. I thought for sure this was a digital painting! Beautiful, beautiful job with the hair!! Aaaaah! this image is driving me crazy! Hahahaha, really, I love it.

Wheeeeeeeeeee! I'm so happy, and everyone seems to like it a lot! I feel so justified. Muah ha ha ha! Even the stock owner favorited it! reens: Don't worry, the swelling head is only temporary. I've still got a long way to go.

This is beautiful. His hair does look white, but that isn't a bad thing. This is even better than the first.

Yeah, I think it came out even better. I got a chance to learn from my mistakes, etc. I finally figured out the whole layers thing, but I definitely could still use some more practice. Must have more stock! :Greedy Igor-like panting and buggy-eyed lolling and scampering about.:

Yay! Hair approval! Considering I'm so obsessed with hair that's the part I'm most self-critical on. But you like it! Yay! :hops around in excitement.:
