artist's comments...

_{and crash like a wave,
'cause a wave needs to crash.
don't be afraid, just get on the train,
take your ride off the tracks,
and never look back.
-- zach berkman

and, it's uploaded.. pheee-ew, that was one heck of a manipulation.

for starters, i went through about ten different wave stock images and puzzle-pieced them together a couple at a time. it all looked so wrong, and it bugged the hell out of me. then i couldn't figure out how to draw flying hair right, so i opted for little streaks. xD also, for some entirely rebellious reason, firefox refused to download these awesome water brushes. and the list goes on. :l i just barely got this thing to work, after a loong power struggle between the computer and i.

but it was worth it all. i. really. like. this. manip. that's as much as i can say. i think it's my best for sure, and i'm completely happy with it. no critique necessary. (:

oh, and if anyone knows how to put thumbnails of stock images used in the descriptions, please let me know!
