Artist's Comments

I took a stock photo of a random swamp shot in daylight, a picture of Ville Valo (H.I.M.) with wings that was overexposed, and several stock photos of bonfires.

Four and a half hours later, this is what I got. I thought the cigarette was a nice touch.

I basically had to recreate his hands and his left (your right) arm (hence why there are no tattoos) because the original scan totally cut his arm to the shoulder.

Created in Photoshop CS2 in an attempt to get to the level of Asterik. I'm really proud of it!

While intensely creepy and sort of disturbing, this is really beautiful! Rarely have I seen such a seamless manipulation! Especially with fire--people are always trying to use fire (at least on DA) and it rarely looks particularly natural, and often it just looks...um...bad? Yes.

And I don't think I would have noticed that the arm and hands weren't part of the original image if you hadn't mentioned it! Although, I'm not really familiar with Ville's tattoos. ^^; Yeah, I suck--I've heard H.I.M's music but don't know much about Ville. ^^;

Anyhoo, have a +fav--I haven't fav'd anything in many, many months, and I sure as hell want to start again with something awesome!
