Description "our beloved princess came back from the forest and was never the same again"

As I never really share stories behind my pics let's just leave it with this one sentence here.. (I kinda dislike to write long elaborate stories about a pic showing just a girl in a dress.. go figure. Even if there is, indeed, a bigger story in it)

Anyway, it's my first submission this year (though started in 2007) so belated best wishes!

Except for the story done mostly for lights / materials practice. Photoshop 7, no refs used. Hope you'll like it!

I love the detail of the gown, and the fiery light that matches the total madness in her eyes.
She's not quite...right anymore, is she?

Oddly enough it looks like people as I usually see them - in one of my moods. She's not especially pretty, but she's beautiful and she glows.

This picture makes me happy.

Violhaine [2008-01-15 02:09:01 +0000 UTC]

Right before I read your description I saw that her eyes weren't quite right, like as if there was something sinister going on behind them. You outdid yourself with the subtle facial emotion.

Wow, I have to say that first of all, the dress is amazing. The backlighting around her head is also quite awesome, and the fact that those strands of hair are being lit up from behind-- well, its truely fantastic. It sends shivers down my spine.

This came out stunningly I really love the way you managed to make all the different colors (especially the dress) work so well together. I always struggle with things like that...
And of course the lighting is simply beautiful

beautiful! but i think this is a piece that really needs to be seen bigger to enjoy all the details of the fabric and such. For that, im glad that you post the close ups too This looks like a difficult kind of lighting to do correctly...

Światłocień nieprawdopodobny, przepiękny, szczególnie we włosach. Pani wygląda demonicznie - wyraz twarzy, uniesione złowieszczo brwi, cała ta aura. A wzorzysta suknia i detale na ramonach i dekolcie, och ach!
