Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Fantasy

About the Idea and execution

This project started around a month ago under the title "Valkyrie".There were too many changes in the structure, after the second week I changed the main idea and the title to "Harpy", added claws and more bird features including feathers and a soft, furry texture almost everywhere. I used two photos as the base, that's why this is in the photomanipulations section, I painted the whole outfit including the lower part of the wings and retouched the rest to get that painting texture.

Credits:

Woman: (basic structure from two different pictures) ~DeviousElite-Stock
Tree: Zlatiborac from Sxc.hu
Sky and mountains: =resurgere
Upper wing: ~madamBesson
Other elements airbrushed manually, including the whole outfit and lower wings.

Tools:

Adobe Photoshop 7.0

Beautiful wandering imagery of this goddess of
flight.
I am writing a dedication poem for another
poetess who writes sensuously and has chosen
her own personal metaphor, an eagle woman.
May I ask humbly permission to receive this
as a jpg for her dedication poem?
full credit and your artist link will given so that
others -poets and readers worldwide will
be able to see your work, and come to this
site.
I am an amateur poet on allpoetry.com
my e-mail is: ears2hearyou@yahoo.com
will await your reply.
Thankyou.
