For all of you who complain about me never posting tags.

....here's your chance to tear one of mine apart. lol

The theme for this weeks SOTW was appealing so I figured why not.

SOTW version:


personally I prefer my version with no text...really strange that we're required to put our username in the tag when it's posted right next to the tag in the voting thread..no biggie I guess.

Real version:

<3 the stock, i think the light in the corner is way too bright, and the lights to the left are distracting.

@ Underoath: yeah making the text look like a tattoo was the only way I could get the text in without disrupting the scene. It looks pretty natural so it's not distracting

@exorcist: getting the girl to fit into the wheat field stock was a real pain tbh.

If you think about the light source though it's really not that overly bright. If you take a picture with the sun in it, it really shows through brightly, so it's realistic. Plus in a field there are all kinds of dust particles that show up as blotches on photos which are the out of focus lights.

Wow, I really like how you made the text blend in so well.

It really does look like a tatoo.

ah ok i c what your saying, i think the opacity of the dust particles needs to be lowered then and maybe a slightly less saturated color
