Primal Sight


This is my entry for the Sunday Postcard Art Challenge where the theme this week is "Eyes". I wanted to create a primal or feral look to this image ; a blending of human and botanica. I used a fashion clipping, scanned flowers, feathers, raffia and artist papers for the effect. Multiple layers of artistic filters in Photoshop.

    I know so little about Photoshop, although I've had it for years. However, I could see the many layers around the eyes. You truly achieved that feral look you were going for. Gorgeous.
