Artwork... in progress

This image isn't quite finished yet. I plan on adding some text into it (and the memory now is like the picture was then; when the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again), maybe add a rose or something else for effect, and I'm also kind of dissatisfied with the way the girl blends with the background so I guess I'll work on that too.

The image is fully done in PS7. I have taken all the photographs used for this image myself, except for the girl and the yellow-looking old paper, which are stock-photoes which I've taken from deviantart.

Any input would be appreciated

This image is what gave birth to the image above. I had just taken a couple of photos and played around in photoshop. Then I had kind of put it "on hold" and forgotton about it. Until one day I deceied to go back to it. All photos used to make this image are my own.

Just a variation of the above image.

The actual images are about 3 times the size of what I posted, and a lot better quality too. But they are about 9 megs each, so I had to resize.
I'm pretty new to photoshop, so with some practice and reading on the subject I might actually produce something better one day

I might post some more stuff tomorrow, if there is some interest


And if you've ever done something of the sort, post it. I look forward to seeing some SYM art. Sketches, interesting photographs, photoshopped stuff, anything! Scan (if not already on PC) and post it!

I think I can see some SYMian thinking patterns. I see something along the lines of "I've got nothing good to say, so I'll just stay quiet"

Seriously though, if you think it sucks say so, It hasn't taken me more than 30 mins to create any of the images and I know I'm a newbie at photoshop.
What I'm actually looking for is ideas for what I should add to the first one... or maybe I should scrap it all together and find something more productive to do with my time

Very cool indeed

I dig the flowers - the flat surface is mose stylish than crumpled paper, but I do like the ghosts coming out of the oldness...

It reminds me a lot of Mucha's flower & girl pictures

A small update to the pic... I havn't much time to play with it, but it's better than nothing. And I also uploaded a bigger version. so here's the (kinda) new image.

That last one looks wicked

just a thought.... when I looked at the first one I imagine the text to be written on the paper that is in the back ground...... don't know if this is anything to go on at all but that's the feeling I had when I first looked at it.....

and as fas I don't know anything about art.... can't even draw....
