second version: repaired the wheels! (didn't notice before)

uh-fu! Dear friends: I proudly present you my first 'real' photomanipulation. It doesn't look so horrible as I worried it would, but I imagined it to be more grandious and majestic and bewinged... okay, okay... it doesn't seem, but there the work in it is worth a mammoth. So let's review the statistics:

Approx. time: 8-10 hours in a whole (please remember that my computer is SLOW. VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY SLOW.)
No. of layers at completion: 31 (!!)
Brushes used: [link] and [link] and my own ones. And I didn't use the stars!! Hooray! The font is Porcelain by misprintedtype.com and Ignatius LET. The wheels are from the cover of Hiroki Endo's EDEN manga. I sincerely recommend you to read it. Hiroki Endo rules. The feathers, clouds, flower and clock photos and the texture on the model's skin were taken by me. The model is...umm... a pretty famous woman probably (found the photo on some kind of CD). A whole lot of thanks go to her.

And what's the hidden meaning? Well actually, this is the cover for a booklet about psychology I wrote (there's far more work in this front picture than in the text, anyway...) and there are many double-and-triple-sided meanings, e.g: all human senses represented somehow (clouds stand for smell), the wheels are bound with the meaning of 'time' and also with 'individuals are wheels of society', the character for 'person' in the background is written with two strokes ('it takes two to make one') - thanks Furuba, and so on... okay, i'm writing nonsense again, so i'll quit it.
