Devious Journal Entry
Jan. 9th, 2010 05:42 pmA drawing from my sketchbook from a couple years ago. This is actually my third attempt at it. The first two I tossed after spending many hours on them. I just couldn't get ArtRage to do quite what I wanted.
So... I decided it was time to do more brush and texture experiments in photoshop. Lots of fiddling with custom brushes and then a filter layer thrown over the top and some selective cropping. At the very least it was an interesting experiment. I sort of like it, though I believe it's more interesting in close up than in thumbnail.

| I plunged into the icy roiling water. The current dragged me down into the depths, rolling me head over heel. My lungs burned. I struggled towards the surface. I might have made it were it not for those eyes. The cold slithering embrace of my harsh new mistress. |
