Gaia
Goddess of the Earth
I was inspired to do this for an online photoshop contest. This piece won. The model is called ‘Iza’ , and has a great stock library on DeviantArt. I have a great fondness for Photoshop and the freedom it gives me. The practice of applying textures to human skin can have some remarkable results. This is supposed to represent Gaia in her natural form, born of Chaos.
Gaia belongs to the following groups:
Models with a difference (photoshop images welcome) and THE DIVINE FEMININE Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

I can see why this won, what a fabulous image, and your technique for applying the texture to the skin is excellent. Do you have any tutorials, I love to learn this skill.

Oh look at you!!!!! wow WOW WOW… this almost makes me weep.. there is another image that gave me the same feeling.. you know that thrill of seeing something totally new.. but then you get all emotional after contemplating the message.. but it’s weird.. while your image is very subtle,and elegant.. This other piece is very emotional and border on violent.. here it is…
Broken Column
Two TOTALLY different images… but I still feel the same emotions…
SIGH!! a BIG ONE…
