A photo manipulation created by:
Title: Summer Glau Na'vi
This is a beautiful photo-manipulation especially for someone who has just started off with PS. The blend of colours and the blue skin that follows with the curves on the face is beautiful and looks realistic. The hair seems to be coming out from the darkness and adds a supernatural feature to this artwork.


A digital drawing made by:
Title: Winter
A wonderful artwork of a wolf in the snow created in GIMP. The details in this artwork is stunning with the visible brush strokes in the fur and the blurred background almost makes the wolf look like he was born from the snow. The eyes have life in them and the blend of the different fur colours really creates an atmosphere of 'winter'.


A photo taken by
Title: hall of corn, ceiling of fire
The maze of corns is set alight by the fiery sky. The contrasting colours of red and green really sets the mood in this photo. The clouds in the sky are a mixture of brilliant red and blue combining to form a dark purple which emphasises the colour of the green corn maze.


A photo taken by
Title: Hydrangea 2
The unusual white contrasts with the dark background to create an air of mystery. The water on the petals of the hydrangea puts life into the photo of dying hydrangeas. This may seem slightly ironic but adds to the overall beauty of this photo.


A drawing created by
Title: ByaKKoWeretiger demon s den
This hand drawn page shows detail and patience in the character's facial expressions, limbs and background. The effects of the tunnel as well as the light combines with the detail in the creature's body makes the viewvwer want to look deeper into the drawing and is a very successful piece of work.

A digital painting created by
Title: Sea Symphony
The darkening of the sky and sea into the distance creates atmospheric perspective and the details in the crashing waves create movement in this painting. The blue-maroon palette used in this painting is very suiable and fitting which adds another element to the beauty of this work.


Photo taken by
Title: The mirror effect
This is a really beautiful photo of sakura trees by the water. The mirroring effect in the waters create a calm and soothing atmosphere. The composition in this piece is wonderful where the baby pink of the sakura petals compliment the baby blue of the sky. The green grass and foreground brings the viewer's eyes to the mirrored effect in the water which adds to the overall beauty of this photo.


A photo taken by
Title: Here, I Will Find Absolution.
The chairs of the church blend into the background and along with the grayscale, a feeling of safety, peace but also mystery is evoked in this photo. The focus on the foremost chair is mysterious yet comforting and the blurring of the walls in the background creates contrast in the areas that light come through.


A photo taken by
Title:Calendar sneak peek no.2
The pose in thsi photo is sweet going into cheekiness with the eyes looking off the camera. The hairstyle goes very well with the brown palette used in this photo and really shows the theme of 'Valentines'
