New Manip

Base by Luis Royo. Brushes by uglybusinessI was happy with the manip, so I spent some time playing around with it, trying to come up with a more interesting way to 'present' it. I feel I struggle a lot with composition - enhancing a manip, especially - and I really want to work on that more over the next few months ( Read more... )

They are both really gorgeous.

Thank you - glad you like them!

stunning. just stunning. I feel that the added color highlighting the bird in the WP really pulls the composition together.

You really do incredible work Mary. Your work almost always looks natural and real and yet spectacular at the same time. ...And here's something that I hope you take as the compliment it's meant to be. I rarely keep copies of buffy manips unless she's paired with Spike, but I have quite a few of yours because they're always so special.

As always, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments. I'm so glad that you like my stuff enough to want to save it - hearing that alone was enough to make my day. The rest of your kind words were just icing! *hugs*

Snagged that gorgeous wallpaper, and its not beautifying my poor widdle desktop! Great job!

Hee! I'm glad you liked it enough to want to look at it more than once - thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous!

I am always blown away by your work. The one or two manips I've done have simply reinforced what I always knew--it's bloody difficult! Your work always looks so 'real'. Amazing!

Thank you so much for the lovely compliment!

Manips can be a bugger, I agree. Sometimes I seem to find just the right head and things go together better than I could have expected. We won't even talk about the folders full of failed attempts...

splendid piece - and I love your large Spike in all those world shades of browns and beige - a perfect combination - I started trying to do some of these and I now appreciate your work even more - tough stuff to do right -
