    Okay, maybe not a sig, but I guess it counts as Photomanip, but I still used a render. I wanted to capture an aquatic feel, and the light. It has some mistakes, but....

    CnC?

    You made the rest of it yourself?

    Because it's pretty damn good if you did, I could never do large things like that.

    Yeah, I did. I mainly tried to capture the feeling of water, so I duplicated and rippled in some parts. I smudged in areas of the stock, to make her seem in real water, added spark textures, then added lightning towards the direction she was looking at, to portray light from outside, the lower parts being a bit darker. Of course, I did somewhat more, but I forget some essential steps.

    I suck at smudging, but, I guess this came out good. I want to expand to things that aren't signatures, and can be appreciated in other places, too. I dunno.

    This took me a bit to make.

    I can tell, it's very nice. :3 Definitely has a water-feeling, but something more too that makes it really special. The lighting is really awesome too, but I feel as though you could have added some more shadows. Maybe add a small bit more of the bits of purple you have here and there, particularly towards the bottom.
