Nereida

No guides used. Thats so easy a guide wouldn't be needed.

Hmm, i like it quite alot, the only thing is i think that the brushing is a little over contrasted, and i don't like the symmetry. It kinda seems... like half a peice, when symmetry is used.

Nonetheless awesome though, the bg is probably my favourite. And i agree with others about the rays, but you explained about time so fair enough :)

ps: Did you use your new tablet with this ^_^ ^_^

Yeah I did, and its not as symetric as my other pieces. Flower isn't symetrical if you look closely.

There was a tutorial somewhere on how to make some ray. I used the tut as a skeleton and added my own stuff and got this:

I could probably find you the tutorial and you could re-edit it into yours.

this is all that got on my nerves:

the stock photo was cut off a bottom so it was either that or straight line.

that is insane man, good good job. If you could make a bg out of it i would <3 you forever
