*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!
