25 Oct 2007	Crystel J. Redknap	Loading... Very cool picture! Very well done
26 Oct 2007	Kharmii	Loading... Hey, that's cool. I have photoshop and don't even know how to do layers because I only use it to stitch stuff together, crop, fix the contrast, etc. Everything is a learning process. Eden Celeste replies: "If you look in the "Window" dropdown there should be an item called "layers" that you can check. You can create a new layer from that, copy your "background" (the bottom layer) or whatever else. Layers are also hugely helpful for doing the things you mentioned as well. There are lots of fantastic tutorials on using Photoshop for art that I would highly suggest! I use the program for both my digital work as well as prep work for my acrylic and oil paintings."
26 Oct 2007	Natalie Beth Myers	Loading... cool! I luv her expression. very nice!
26 Oct 2007	David Michael	Loading... I like how you've made her really look ethereal, that's cool. I'm not an artist so I know nothing about whether that's hard or not, but it looks hard and it looks cool. Good job, and congrats on the mod's! Eden Celeste replies: "Thank you very much! I was surprised and happy to see that I received a mod's choice!"
26 Oct 2007	Amrita K. Kareer	Loading... That's the most excellent work i've ever seen done with expressions in a painting!! Perfect ^_^ congrats!! Eden Celeste replies: "Thank you! Expressions are very important to me."
26 Oct 2007	Kharmii	Loading... What a gorgeous painting! It's only a shame that we can't see a bigger version. Nice work on making the ghost transparent; I'd assume it'd be tricky. Eden Celeste replies: "Thank you for the compliments! Creating the ghost would be very tricky with traditional paints, however with Photoshop it's very easy - I simply painted the girl on her own layer and then made that layer slightly transparent. Of course maybe I shouldn't have told you publicly because now everyone will realize that the "hard" part was easy! The hard part for me was creating the appropriate lighting in the piece."
26 Oct 2007	Michael pixie john	Loading... Goodie good lovely illustration , and kind of 1950's , 60's love how you've done the ghostly one and the guy , his face he looks so engrossed in the book and kind of so at home in his chair , hey there get up and chop some wood ..
27 Oct 2007	Gwenivere Stephan	Loading... Interesting, I like the expressions. They are very well done. And the anatomy is good. Well deserving of Mod's Choice!
