Description Done while listening (obviously) to "Saltwater" by Chicane, one of my favourite music dreams.
Haven't submitted anything for a while...but my dreamy self is back.

Let's get technical...PS, 21 layers, using many stock photos (please take a look to the "credits" section, thank you all people ) ,brushes and my Wacom.
For the sea creatures brushes i didn't write down the name of the creator, i'm so sorry .
I hope you like it. It's far from perfect though...

Amazing song and a wonderful piece of art :] The color scheme is nice and the transparency of the flowers and trees and such looks great

' this missing page, that belonged to a great story, of a young girl, whose dreams became reality, one foggy night in May. From across the horizon, storm clouds moved closer, and the branches that lay outside her window suddenly started to screech across the glass, like fingernails grinding down a chalk board. Her fears they grew stronger each moment, and while reaching for her teddy bear, a small gleam of light appeared in the corner of her room. It was bright, with vivid colors, and small glitters that followed her every move. From her bed, she stared in such estonishment that it was like she was paralyzed from head to toe. No movement, not even a blink of an eye. This small gleam of light, floated gracefully to her bedside and spun around in mid-air like a ballerina. She then quickly darted straight down, and landed briefly on her nose. For that moment sparked a beautiful array of colors that appeared to be an imitation of the sea floor. The colors of greenish blue hues, the color of redish-orange coral, seahorses with wings, starfish, and flowers that floated overhead, as if someone just flung them from a basket. Within seconds her sense regained, and weightlessly started to wander through this mystical world'

the missing pages of a story, great concept, you portrayed those the use of textures, colors, brushes and creativity. very cool piece..

Wow, this is beautiful! What an original idea.. I think I can honestly say that I have never seen a butterfly-winged seahorse before, so kudos. Just as I was beginning to think I had seen everything. Anyway, I love the page edges you put on here to really give it that storybook feel, and the soft colors are great. At first glance, I thought that the top "leg" on the starfish was actually a road going off into the mountains, which is really cool (even seeing what it is now, I can still see it as a road).

Great work.

Cool colours and a lot of surrealism! Gives kind of strange feeling and I love it!
Just a bit minus: the top edge of the paper and the corner down left

Keep up the good work! And don't forget us when you become a great and well paid professional
