Photo manipulation
A/N: I had the pleasure of working with thenyxie this year. She has always been one of my favorite authors and she was such a joy to work with. I was worried for a while that I wouldn't get the chance to do this.
I've never thought of myself as an artist in the traditional sense i.e. drawing, but I really wanted to do something by hand. I started with two sketches, Jensen and Misha, but they never turned into anything. I decided to move on and challenge myself by working with pastels on black paper. I really enjoy pastels and I had a lot of fun doing the ocean drawing. I'm very happy with the outcome.
The photo manipulation is my least favorite. It's a great idea, but it still needs some work. Sadly it's probably the piece I spent the longest on. So for now I'm calling it a work in progress.
I'm in love with the cover square. It's simple but I think it gets the point across. 'nough said.
All digital work done in Adobe Photshop CS3.
And many thanks to wendy and thehighwaywoman for all their hard work.
