SF&F Picture 62 out of 93 by Stephanie S. K. Marbach.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Young santabruja

the beautiful witch santabruja, in her young years, when she still had to study at the witches school to become a real witch:)! yeah, she had a real hard time studying there before she got her "diploma", or whatever the witches get for it;-). she just found out something really incredible in her old study book and can't believe what she's reading:)!!!

that set was sooo... much fun to do, we used all of this little extras from the whole family (so we stole my brothers' iron skull...;-) ). there are many many pictures of that set but i'll just have to find out how to work well with some photoshop program since i have no clue of it and just too many ideas flying around my head that i want to realize with the many pictures of that set.

(photograph taken by me, the person on the picture is sofia marbach, i have both permissions to use it. 2006)

update: august, 2008 - i really liked the suggestions i got in here, so i took out the picture again and worked on it with gimp. i tried to somehow capture a little bit more magic in there and i hope it worked out:)! people seemed to like it at the exhibition:)

*** exhibition at 'kunstmarkt zofingen', august 2008

2 Jul 2006	Shannon Laura Williams	Loading... Oh wow x) This photo looks like it was awesome fun to take! I'd love to do that sometime But I don't think I have any such eager models Lovely! ^_^ Though yes, if you want to add effects in photoshop, I recommend just playing around with everything It is fine as it is I think, but you can add little touches for sure with photoshop Stephanie S.
