This was probably one of the most detailed works I've tried to put together.

There is a long list of stock that was used and several brushes as well.

Sorry for the long list but there just weren't enough source url's available.

I wanted to portray a sort of magic in different levels of experience along with some imagery of the seasons. Summer and Spring are put together or simplicity on the image.

The candle was the medium for each.

There has always been a day when I wish I could have some sway over nature, especially with the current weather situations.

I hope you all enjoy!

i like it..but if i can be constructive..it almost looks too perfect. the girls don't mesh well with the background...if that makes any sense. and it's just my opinion. great thinking though!

I think blending the girls was the hardest thing..it didn't matter what I did they just didn't get to the way I wanted them..so I got as close as my sanity would let me

thank you for the critique !

Beautiful I can tell you did a lot of work on this one. Good job I love it! Looks like something that should be made into a poster or something!

Very well done, very nice. Try blurring the background.

Looks awesome, I do agree that it looks a little too perfect but. My only main criticism is are the images on deviant art copyrighted?
