Finally found the time to re-visit Little Dragon and have a go at it.
Had this stock image sitting on a drive for quite some time and re-discovered it a while ago. Did a first quick retouch on it and had to leave it at that.

Had the time now to re-visit it for another go, so I picked out a couple of stocks, armed the Brush Panel and fired away.

Spank the monkey..........




didI say thaaaaaat?
 
nice piece i would say, the only thing i rather revise will be the big green arcane circle around the main piece, maybe change color due to the color difference "color tone" or maybe reduce opacity, just my humble opinion dough.

Pretty Cool
please keep it up
 
I like the green it really makes it pop, but to each his own I guess

There's a kind of story around why the image turned out as it did, but it's too long to tell here.
I'm pleased you like it overall and the green circle you just have to live with ... :)
 
Oh brother as if JgraphNet head isnt big enough........... J/K Dick, your posts (tuts) are some of the best I've viewed.

Have to admit it's hard to NOT let praise do things with ones head... :)

And there will be more tut's coming. I'm just going to be a bit occupied with other things for a while.
 
who is she now?. be careful those women will take all your toys away if you let them LOL

She is one of those Chinese mailorder wives, you know...
Sent me this image with an interest of marriage. She'd been married four times before but those former husbands all "just dissapeared" and was never heard from. Said she wanted to come to Sweden to start her own movement. Did'nt say what movement ...

(Oh brother... now I've offended Chinese women too ... as well as the French and the Swedes ... )

Nahh.... it's a stock image from Shutterstock I've had on a drive since long. Doesn't say anything about the model or photographer other than "Ontario Ltd". It's not available any more, however.

The mailorder wife story I told to a Thai girl I'm working with every now and then. She looked shocked and actually believed me, thinking the "photo" was an original.
Then it struck me she is a mailorder wife too....

(Ahhmmm... have I offended Thai women too now..? Man - I excel at this... )
