:') Human No More and Txum_kali'weya from my heart, thank you so much, it made me all happy teary that you liked it let alone thought it beautiful.

*hugs* *hugs*

The image is from a sketch that I did of an experience that I had the other night. I've been struggling with some sadness for a few days and then feeling tired from it all, lay down for a nap. While I was lying there and just drifting away in my thoughts I guess it was like wanting to just lie down under Eywa and rest there, be there. Then it was like I could see vines start to grow over me and cover me like a blanket comforting me and then a shoot started to emerge just out of my side near the belly button and grow. It continued to grow and then branched out like a protecting willow tree, Eywa. It was such a comforting presence snuggled under those roots. Just reposed and resting for an endless infinity.

So I sketched the image, as best I could, and then played around in photoshop with some of the filters and luminosity's till suddenly there it was this image and I went Ahhh!

There were four layers:
The original sketch sharpened
A glowing edges filtered layer that I set to dissolve
A copy of the original sketch
merged with a Gradient layer that I set to color.

I hope that sort of explains it!

and again to both thank you for your kind words!

Ahh, Madman, Na'vi_supporter. Stanley, Grif;

To you all as well, humble thanks from my heart, for your kind words and thoughts and thank you for the encouragement as well. Compared to all the other very talented members here, I know its just a simple drawing and photoshop piece, but it does encourage me to try more. *big hugs* to each of you

And Stanley, I'm just flattered speechless :'), I just get all like weepy happy in disbelief that you liked it that much. I just oh an extra *big hug* to you!
