okay this is NOT a photo manipulation or a vector. this si a digital painting.

it's a screen shot of Tarja Turunen taken from the Nightwish DVD From Wishes To Eternity. this is my first time doing a photo realistic digital painting in color. i'm usually afraid of color, but i think this turned out rather well.

again, the mic sucks in comparison the the rest of the pic. i just suck at inanimate objects.

also, Tarja makes funny faces when she sings. i went through a lot of screen shots before i decided on this one.

my other Tarja art here->[link]

i've been in a portrait mood lately.

I find it a little hard, after coming from using just Microsoft paint, but I love the result that I get.. Even if it isn't as good as I would like it to be.
It will take a bit of getting used to but I managed to paint Tarja once already and it turned out alright!
But I do like it, much better than paint!

Oh?
I've never used photoshop, I tried to get it but it wouldn't work properly on my computer for some reason.
