When Twilight Fades
This is a photo of my niece that I shot before I had a digital camera. I scanned the photo, added it over and image by CruelDreams that I edited in ps by using the channel mixer, dodging, burning, cloning and added text. Took a photo of a butterfly and selected each wing section separately and cut and moved them into position using transform. Adjusted the opacity of those layers to give each wing section a transparent appearance. Painted with the airbrush tool on a lower opacity over the wings to make the colors tie in with the costume. Also used the airbrush with warm color to add the effect of light coming from her wand illuminating the darkness around her and added touches to her and her wings where I felt the light would hit.
When Twilight Fades belongs to the following groups:
Childhood, Fantasy Fine Art Composites, Graphic Editing 101, Human and Nature, PixElations - The Art of Photoshop, Ruins, Ancient and Derelict Buildings and Safe Haven Available for sale asGreeting Cards
