Window to Spring

Cherry blossoms make me think of the Orient. Thanks to kinberlyn at flckr.com for the Oriental window; to Paco CT at flckr.com for the masks; the bamboo source is my own; blossoms in arrangement were made with brush tools using closeups of source as reference. Pattern layer over background is made...

ducANTi

Don't ask me why I decided to do this, I don't even know myself. Started to become a bit of an obsession spending far too long on it (approx 16 hours). Used the ant as a reference for the pose, trying to keep a similar depth of field. All sources from sxc.hu Please view in High Resolution.

Tazer

She is known as Tazer; born from thunder and lighting she is as wild as the wind. But caution is advised, don’t let her pretty wings and dainty looks fool you. If you get too close she will give you quite a shock, knock you out cold and steal your gems, gold or what ever else suites her fancy...

Lestat

"I will be the Vampire Lestat for all to see. A symbol, a freak of nature - something loved, something despised, all of those things. I tell you I can't give it up. I can't miss. And quite frankly I am not in the least afraid." -the vampire lestat by Anne Rice
