I have always been nervous about playing around in my photoshop program, so I am grateful to this challenge for encouraging me to explore areas I would not have ventured into otherwise. I learned a few new techniques today while playing around with this piece and have to say that it has given me some confidence that I may someday be able to create any dream vision I have ever had. And that is a wonderful thought indeed!
I had so much fun creating this mood piece! First I had to choose which dress silhouette I wanted to spotlight today, and since I knew I was going with a goth theme, I chose this figure-hugging gown with train. I set her in an abstract watercolor background that resembled trees in the fog and used my saturation and lighting levels to increase that feeling. Next I found an antique style gravestone and manipulated it until I had just the look I wanted, placing each of them strategically in the fog. It took more than an hour to get the entire piece to my liking, but the result was well worth the time. You can almost guess her story from her setting, can't you? And it's obvious that it's a sad tale indeed. This piece is entitled "Lady of the Night," and if it speaks to you, feel free to download or print it off to keep.
