Sweet Raptured Light

[Lady Idril]

Well I don't know about this piece yet, but we'll see what everyone else thinks! The title comes from lyrics to a song by Evanesence called "My Last Breath". I don't know why this piece is so dark and dramatic, I wasn't really planing on that, but it just happened. I cropped the pictures and added some effects (blur layer beneath; drop shadow; some multiply layers) and added a sunburst to the sky for a bit more light. I messed with the tint a bit to give it more of a yellow-green intensity. Anyway, I hope you all like!

Original Pictures:

wow, this is good.

[Lady Idril]

Really?! Thank you so much! ;D

Wow, that's pretty neat, Idril. Very...dark and romantic, as you said. I like the sort of glowy effects on the vampires and sirens.

and just a note, your fourth link goes back to the balcony picture.

[Lady Idril]

Thank you, Ri I duplicated the layer for each model and set it to Gaussian Blur, then dragged it beneath the original model. It's a fun little trick.

And thank you very much for the heads-up on the link. I tried to check them, but DeviantArt moves so slow for me so I didn't take the time. I'll fix that now.

Wow that is an awesome result. It makes me want to know the story behind it even though I know there isn't one, but dang there could be.
