Description

Hey, Happy 2015 for all of you.

I want to dedicate this Artwork to Ksenos-ks, i don't deeply know her, but i really think she is a very kind person, out of the fact that she makes the most sweet artworks in my watchlist!!!

This is my first work in this year and i'm sure i'll bring lot more yet. Well, this is not my favourite style, i mean colours, glows and "cute" things, but this work have a special meaning, for me it shows (in a very representative way), how the little things (with "things" i mean acts, words, kindness and these stuff) can change a perspective of something and/or someone's life.

I hope this year may bring some joy to all of you, but specially for homeless people, cause i feel very sad when i'm going to sleep in my warm and confortable bed while i know that many people would give anything to have a place to sleep.

Thanks to yale-stock for this amazing model shot:

I seen this on your FB page and I was so intrigued by it! Very beautiful manip.

Vision: Very eye-catching and the lighting is just lovely on the butterfly. The fractal makes it very magical as well. I do think that the lighting on her face is a bit over powered and could have been blended in better. Same as on her hair and collar. Perhaps a different blend mode on a low opacity would have been better. Nevertheless this is still eye candy!

Originality: Haven't really seen any manips like this so the idea is definitely unique to me. I like the Goth model mixed with the brightness from the butterfly. And again, really love the fractal!

Technique: Great execution but as I already stated I think the lighting on the face and clothes could be better. Also adding some pink on the branch where the butterfly sits would have been nice too. I love the blurred BG and how much is really lets you completely focus on the model and butterfly.

Impact: Absolutely in love with this piece. I can see this being somewhat of a series if you can find the right models. I really hope to see another manip like this from you in the future!
