Heavy Fantasy Photo Manipulation Project

How to waste billions of minutes for funsies...
So I planned on a really time-taking but hopefully amazing photo manipulation, the way my idols do it. :D

I worked several days on this one, already having the end result in mind...

At first, findind fitting stock wasn't too hard, when you're member of DeviantArt, photo manipulation gets much easier.

Making a fitting background took about 4 to 5 hours, cause the windows of the church picture were a hard job...

Cutting myself out of a forest scene ( had an amazing goth fasion shoot with Alina. <3 ) required much more energy.

Painting hair was fun, editing the makeup was, too, painting the dress was SO NOT!!! >_____< It nearly killed me. That's the part that took the longest, and it's also the only thing that I'm not fully satisfied with...

The second picture is one that I edited for Alina ( who was the photographer for the first one, as I said ). She's amazingly pretty and I loved making this picture! :)

The third one is placed in the original setting of the first pic, being another amazing piece from that day. Not too heavy manipulated, but still...
