Description My first deviation for this account!

In case your wondering, this probably will not be the style i will keep doing, my main focus will still be photography, rather than photo-manipulation. I was just bored, and thought i'd try something different, i don't have many skill in photoshop yet, but its still fun to play around with things to get familiar with the program.

I can't remember the whole story of Alice In Wonderland, but i thought there was a section where she walks through a giant chess board, on the other side i believe was the Queen's palace, but instead i made a creepy looking Sanctuary with gnarled trees and crows, to make the story a little more twisted.

Well i hope you like this, it is not even close to the original picture i was going for, so maybe i'll post a second version sometime. It took me 3.5 hours to create this. lol

Man, when I saw this in my inbox, I had no idea who submitted it Way to catch me off guard.

It's a cool first attempt, I like the eerie, painted feel of the back ground. It would be cool if you could have a stock for the woman that wasn't a photo, it would make her feel less detached. I don't know where you'd get that though. Well done with the chess pieces, they fit quite well, except for missing shadows.

You should do another!

thanks, i probably will do another at some point.
i know what you mean about the shadows, i tryed adding them, but i couldn't get it to work properly..
the background is my favorite part, it looks so creepy .
i have a feeling we talked in person about this one already though haha oh well
