Artist's Comments

Props if you can spot the phoenix.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My piece for :iconreverberance: 's 5th artpack.

The theme was Ideology; I used "nothing is impossible" as mine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This piece is dedicated to my girlfriend Carol.
[edit 3.10.08] We broke up, but i'll leave this up anyway.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The top part was created from scratch using Photoshop CS2 and apophysis:
I used textures from mayang, and rendered my own fractals for the phoenix.

The bottom part was a photomanipulation/photomerge.

There are about 10 different images that it's comprised of.
(boat, flocks of birds, pagoda, clouds)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Stock sources:
Sxc.hu
Mayang.com
And the original pagoda stock was in a stock pack; credits to whoever took the picture.

Programs used: Photoshop CS2, Apophysis 2.05 Beta
-----------------------------------------------------------------

For all those that couldnt spot the phoenix; [link]

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-12-28

Phoenix Striking the Sky by =Arctic-Affinity is a wonderful work that doesn't require the least bit of color to convey its emotion. Very seldom does digital see works like this done in a black and white theme, and this one is simply stunning! (Suggested by *Druology and Featured by `cosmosue)
