Artist's Comments

:rose: I entered this in the contest, Good vs. Evil.

My very first serious photomanipulation (excluding the small stuff done in photoshop class in school ^^;)

I've always admired some photomanips and decided to try to learn to do them. May be a tad lame but I think it's pretty cool for the first time.

The idea is loosely based on Christine Feehan's: The Dark Series. A Carpathian male fights the darkness within him every day until he can find his lifemate. The black wing signifies the beast within him and what he can become (a true blood vampire), the white wing signifies either his honor or the peace/joy that he can receieve when he finds his lifemate. The male is a warrior of darkness, thriving to find a shred of light that belongs to him (his lifemate-woman who is his other half)

And for those who don't know the series, I hope you enjoy and take something out of thie pic. :)

I have a friend who is trying to get me into that Dark Hunter series at the moment. :)

I really like this, it all goes very well together. It's very good for a first photo manipulation also. ^^

I like the wolf in the moon but in my opinion his right wing should be a bit more solid.

Looks like a painting! The elements all work together really nicely, I'm impressed!

lol. I've heard of the Dark Hunter series or something like that by Sherriel...something Ken-something....I forgot. ^^; I haven't read any of those, kinda stuck with Feehan. And poor libraries are another reason..^^;

Thanks so much! =D :blush:

Thanks for the critque. Right wing...his white one you mean? Or the black wing with the moon showing through?

I'm not good with sides on a computer either. But I got what you are saying. For some reason when I used the brush it showed through, then I thought that was a cool look so I left it. lol.

Thanks for the opinion/comment!! =D
