Goddess Emerging
- Photographic based digital montage, 2007 (no 2 from series of 3 re-worked).
- Shot two seperate models & P/S combined them. I also draw in & enhanced part of the headpeice, the body, the dress, added a fringe to the face, hid the eyes, made the features more angular, blew up the lips, created cheekbones, reworked the branches, filtered wallpaper effects, extended the chandelier, added lacework/flower elements, desaturated the lot & added a sepia tone.
- Approximately 50 Photoshop layers.

kookylane
seriously awesome work of art, LOVE IT! beautiful composite, so richly decorated, reminds me a little of Klint.
kimshillington
This is digital art at its best, not only do you take all the images but you compile something magical with a finished vision in mind. A very sensual and moving piece Ange, you are very talented and your students would do well to have you as a teacher. I love the tones in this one again, well done:)

Robert Knapman
I’ll add my voice too. So this is an example of whats possible with photoshop. Never used it as I am newish to the area so its pretty cool to see this. Not only that but your composition is delectable. Thanks
Lee Burgess
What a magnificent piece of art!!! Don’t all women want to feel this at one point of their life??
Very well done!
Mel Brackstone
Indeed this is a magnificent piece of art! I’m only just learning how to do all these layered works, so this is inspiring to me! I’m honoured to be in your list of favourites! Best thing about listing peoples favs is I can find new artists that I might not have found otherwise!

LostBoy1
they cut off “Amazing!”
Danny
WOW
This goes for miles
I thought I drop in to see who I have to vote for in the competition and I find this.
You got a big wrap off Flamejob. Now thats saying something
I’m just amazed how LB1 always seem to get where I’m going just before me.
Your very talented I cant even take a photo without shaking the thing.
OK I vote for this one.
Tomorrow (i think that’s when it starts)
Raul Brzic
Love this, great work and effort.
Danny
I voted
It took awhile, I didn’t know how to vote.
But Craig Shillington posted a how to last night.
FataMorgana
this is fantastic. such delicate layers, truly wonderful work.
Stephen Greens...
I saw this piece yesterday and can’t get it out of my mind!
It is truly evocative and haunting. So powerful on so many levels, er… layers.
Janice Sheen
so much delicate detail. must have taken for ever. the result is just beautiful…
Naomi Kevin
That’s so lovely. The colours and subtle tones are so exquisite. The photo so delicate…my favourite!
PennyEdwardes
Now THAT is a stunning piece of work! You could stare at it for hours and still find something new and beautifull to look at! The colours are perfect…...exquisite!
Bridgett Ferguson
I love the color and textures. A gorgeous piece indeed!
Bernd Jansons
This has to come close to the most number of comments I’ve seen for a piece and for good reason. The blindfold adds some many possibilites and I really like the way her clothes are draped. And, or course, there’s lots to try to attach meanings to in the ground. For me the overall mood is dark, but sensual and intimate. Very nice.
Mathew John
Gorgeous…
Really love the color and feel you’ve got going.
chrisgarbacz
ok i lied. this is my favorite. Wow ange you have quite a resume. Are you just lecturing and freelancing at the moment?
Ange
hi chris, cheers. yep lecturing & freelancing…
Anita Donohoe
Your mastery with PhotoShop is amazing.

Hello Ange, I love this. I did favourite it but forgot to leave a comment. I know some people hate that. I can’t really give some theoretical artistic reason why I love it. I can say I love the complexity of the image. I adore the colour (or should I say the lack of colour). It is elegant, sophisticated and, well, just a great piece of art. Best wishes, Michelle.
Antanas
Excellent job
kristian94

oliver berlin
I like-very dense, lush, EROTIQUE! Ooo la la!

Very well done…It’s complexity is hypnotic,it’s depth is freefall….a lot of time and effort coupled with talent and intuition…you should be proud.
Stuart Wilson

Gorgeous! I might buy this for myself.
Van Cordle

An interesting and stylish montage around the beautiful nude. The ‘dark coper’ limited palette, is superbly effective in the dark tones, contrasting very well with the ‘Goddess’ light erskin tones
KEITH R. WILL...
nice work
Steve Chapple
Powerful statement. True art that works from concept to outcome.

This is somewhere between the ghost at the end of the 1999 version of ‘House on Haunted Hill’ and the artwork for Cradle of Filth’s ‘Nymphetamine’ album… only better,
