Description
Oh my. This one took a lot of imagination & planning!This was made as a gift for someone on HP who helped me with a favor. Thanks!
As I ventured to the wood,
I stopped to draw on dewy air; let
Droplets shimmer in my hair, that
Rested on my tranquil head – as
In a sense of cosy bed.
As I ventured to the wood,
A gesturing cuckoo perched above,
And then in song with cooing dove,
‘You're welcome’, bade he, ’Enter please
To roam our land with gentle breeze.’
As I ventured to the wood,
A fallow deer of limpid eye
Gave care to glance at lucky I.
The heavenly aura 'bout her glow had
Charmed me, like a fine Bordeaux.
As I ventured to the wood,
A dazzling flower waved her face
In blazing show of dance and chase, and
Reddened bright in shade of dawn, she
Flirted like a prancing fawn.
As I ventured to the wood,
A butterfly had graced my arm,
And knowing I bid him no harm, he
Splayed for me hypnotic wing in
Colours for to urge me sing!
As I ventured to the wood,
The radiant sun shone down on me.
He flushed and beamed ‘I say to thee,
You bless your land; be filled with pride, and
Cherish e’er yon countryside! ’
The inspiration for this piece actually built on top of itself. The inspiration was a butterfly originally, and soon I began just creating a whole new world all together!
Total time= 16+ Hours, 53+Layers, using photoshop cs6 & a wacomb bamboo tablet.
A B O U T THE PICTURE
Creating the crumbling hind legs was a bit tricky, but something new and fun to figure out! This animal started out as an Ibex, but if you look at the stock photo, I changed the face and color quite a bit. The idea was to have a creature based off an earth element, and since Khalie asked that there be a butterfly in the mix, i came up with the idea of a giant butterfly lifting this creature into the air!
The grass on the front hoof is fused to the creature, almost as if it is trying to hold on as he is being lifted from the ground.
Something bright and colorful, enjoy!
