I'm really pleased with how the color came out in the background, I was hoping to get the top left to be a little darker originally but after getting this shade I decided that this was better than the dark blue I had planned. I'm also pleased with how blending her into the background turned out, it really does look like she's within the clouds thanks to some blurring, blending, and masks ^^

I did use a few different brushes from deviantArt in order to get the celestial background and then tried to blend and fade them down so they weren't so harsh.
