Description
I didn't know what else to name it. I finally finished this entry for 's music contest, I'm so tired of working on it x.x palm trees are evil.It should be pretty easy to pick out what part it's based on xD. I always thought dragonair were fitting for this particular song, and I've had this idea in my head for a long time.
This is one of those songs that I can have on repeat forever :3. There are like 298735620451 versions of it, but this is the one I always think of: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoCKot… . There is also another awesome r&b remix thing version, but I can't find it anywhere on youtube. All I know is that it's sung by a male (I assume black, by the sound of his voice?). I really love his version and I wish I could find you all the link
If anyone knows where to find that version, please tell me because I'd love to have it
If you think this looks familiar, you're right
from '06
and from '05!
time taken: too long x.x (it was done over several days with tons of breaks so maybe 25ish hours?)
layers: a crapload, since I used adjustment layers and masks for everything

Hogosh, is it this one: [link] ? It has the "picture me, darling, picture me" at the start.

WindieDragon In reply to Tenmashi [2010-09-17 02:49:06 +0000 UTC]
It sounds close, but that intro is way longer than the one I'm thinking of. They only repeat "picture me, darling, picture me" 4 times. Maybe it's the same group but a slightly different version? I know we have a CD with that track somewhere at home, but I have no idea where D:. I want that song on my computer sooooo bad .

Maybe this is the radio version or something, they're often a bit shorter than the full version? I hope you find it, I spent several hours looking for that damn song, haha! XDD

Radio version sounds like a plausible explanation . Don't worry, I spent just as much time looking for that song when I was uploading this deviation

I actually tried finding the song even though I have hardly a clue what it sounds like. :'D Don't think I found it, but there are a lot of versions up on Youtube.

Coincidence: I happened to be listening to Frank Sinatra's performance of an apparently different song called "Time After Time" when I clicked the link to view this pic, and I thought it fit so perfectly
Great job on the picture.

Dang. I wouldn't be surprised if you win another Pokedorks contest with this baby, like you did with its predecessor from 2007. This is simply amazing in its own right, but it's particularly cool to look back on your previous one and behold the obvious, massive improvement.
One of the things I find most incredible about this is how well every form is defined, without any outlines. From the sinewy bodies to the painstaking blades of the palm (which I am particularly enamored of!), everything simply jumps out of the page at me. The effect makes this artwork visually striking in addition to beautiful and full of emotion.
Great job wielding the effects such sparkles, textures, and shines without overdoing it. I think it's easy to go nuts with these things, especially when using digital media, but everything looks very harmonious and perfect as you've done it here. The effects add visual beauty without disturbing the mood. While very subtle compared to the sky and moon, I especially like the delicate textures on the Dragonairs' head wingies and the sand. Those are great little touches which show that you gave your all to the entire piece, not just the focal points.
Seriously... Mind-blowing work! Even my usual distaste for blue is completely overridden by how amazing this is. I'd wish you luck in the contest, but I somehow doubt you'll need it!

I just realized it was from 06, not 07
*fixes*
Oh yeah, I remember going sparkle-crazy with the last one ;D. It was tempting to do it here, too, but I have much better self-control now XD.
As always, thank you for your awesome comments .
Just watch, in another year or two I'll look back on this and be like: "WHAT IS THIS CRAP?"
