Sunset Approaches - created by roz

Sunset Approaches photoshop picture
High Resolution
final rank: 1 out of 21 (final score: 74.2 %)

To tell you the truth, it was meant to be a plain ballerina. That is, as soon as I took a look at the source image I really saw a ballerina's dress :) Anyway, as it often happens with me, I got another idea and another one and another one while I was working on this entry.

It's mostly experimental stuff, but nothing really special and new. I just played around with the standard modes and brushes a bit.

For the pose of the girl and mostly for her arms/hands I used two reference pictures, which I've provided in the SBS along with the links to them. I don't own them, so it really had to be reference ONLY.

Anyway, please view the full res and the SBS!

:)

PS: thanks to benedeki @ sxc.hu for the forest image (source 1)!
