RAINFALL
Divided Once Again
What Will Become of Our Peace?


Please do not touch this unless you are myself or Tempest on Imagine That. Thanks!

Edit
Darkened the feet up, moved the wings back and tried to add the shadow. I wasn't sure what side the shadow should go on... does it look alright?

About The Image
The requester on IT asked for something different done with a wolf, something with wings or odd markings... so I did both. The little puddles on the rocks, the foam and the splashes from the rain were all hand-painted and the rain was also done by hand. I'm extremely pleased with how the rain ended up, it was pretty bad at first. :P
I couldn't decide on what to do with the eye, and when I painted one in it looked strange, so I just went and closed the eye up, I think it looks better like that anyway.

Technical Details {That No One Really Cares About}
Time Taken: About.. 6-8 hours over the length of 4 days. I'm extremely slow.
Layers: 64; 12 if you just count the groups and not the individual layers in them. I'm obsessed with groups.
Program: Photoshop CS3, courtesy of Nia. <3
Fonts Used: Gargle Nutz, Brush Script STD, Times New Roman

Wow!!! Its really lovely!

I love how the image feel is blue but the markings are green. It makes you wonder about them, and gives it a rather mysterious look. Great job Sweetie!!!

As for critique Id say burn the rocks a bit for a shadow, otherwise we dont know where the wolfy is in the image! nor where the source of light is coming from ;)

It is really good Twiilie! But as forgotten-phoenix said it would be better if the wolf had a shadow.

-squeals- Thanks! I wasn't too sure about the green before, I couldn't decide if they stood out too much or not, but I'm glad they look okay.

Ah, right! How could I forget about the shadow? -slaps self- I'll go fix that now :P

Welcome :glomp:

Well you know, they do stand out, but they dont take away from the over all image. They arent over powering, it just makes you think about the wolf's past to see how it got those markings, or why they have those markings. Its still a beautiful image!

lol I cant wait to see it!! And dont worry, half the time I dont do shadows because I use stuff that you cant see their shadows anyway xDDD
