This is perhaps my best work untill nowe. I don't knowe howe the girl is ascualy, but I do knowe theat extracting her whas perhaps the hardest part of the entire think. I rely can't belive howe hard it whas. About the background, I hade fun meking it!
Nowe, the atmosfese is segnificant for my work. As you can see, it's just begining to snow (the first sbow fall of the year) and the girl had just faced terible situation. Thinking that luck has ran away from her she runes away to the place were she has spent her cileldhood (you can remark the swin), but she trips and falls (can see the way her robes/miko autfit is). Beeng a miko, she starst preing, hoping someone will give her a sing. And the singn comes, in the form of the first snow. Howe can we knowe it's a divine singn? You can see in the backgound the shadow of a angel and also, around the girl, the snow is moving difrent. Nowe, she is looking up to what is ... I'm not saing. It's for you to decide. But watever it is, it's shiny, and it's not the moon.
Nowe, the tehnical part. I used about 25-30 layers, the girls whas extracted by me from a not too clear image, and I used brushes from Aethereality and from The Luna Regina. Worked about ... 4-5 howers (not in the same day).
And well...that's about it. Eny comment and fav. is more then welcome.

You can find it on Minitokyo too(there I am naned kykyopj)
