 I had this in my head when I saw the challenge topic. Crazy weekend... We'd arranged for her to come after work on Sunday...

She had to work late.

Then... it happened!

This girl is so sweet to model for me ... now that my offspring are gone.




Our youngest used to date her. I still get the benefits!! :D


Two images: one without the girl, then one with the girl.

A couple of masks... some Liquify... add in some shadows (this is the hard part for me) then... badaBOOM.

Oh! And the string. Had to draw that in.

ETA: I totally LOVE the comment,"Her face and hair look a bit odd to me, could be the processing."

THAT's what you think is a bit odd?! Hahahaha!

I love the concept and the scene. Her face and hair look a bit odd to me, could be the processing.
