My digital art and photography. What'cha think? Scars Showing
 
I obsessivly edit these and go back to them to touch them up to distract my mind from other 'bad' thoughts, I don't like make my images about SI as it will remind me of it. So I try to keep of that subject. However, they are usualy personal to me so please be nice in your critism.

These are all my own photogrpahy, or I have made them from seperate Images. On my Flickr you will find the credit to people who I have used stock from. Other than that. This is all my own work.

Please tell me what you think. Most of them are meaningful to me in one way or another. I hope you all like them, and tell me what you think. :)

The concept is:

Eye image:
I was waiting, but you never came. It was on the on idea of waiting for someone to love you back but they never realised that you were even there.

People Image:
Left Behind

Life sometimes takes us from the ones we love.

Stellata 11-03-2010 08:39 PM

I really like it. Very atmospheric. It looks like it tells a story.

Lou Lou 11-03-2010 09:38 PM

pretty!! I like this sort of thing :D If you used some shading on the lady (very pretty by the way, is it you or a stock image?) she would look more like part of the picture if that makes sense. I think there is a "burn" tool in Photoshop that does a darkening effect or something.

I like it though, the scene is beautiful xx

Bitter_Angel 11-03-2010 10:38 PM

I like it.
Do you mind if i ask what programs you use?
(Oh and if you want it moved over to creative corner just drop me a pm =])

Bad Day 11-03-2010 10:56 PM

Okay, thank you people.

Lou Lou Thank you for the the tip and yes, photoshop does have that tool. I'll try it.

Bitter Angel; I use Photoshop CS3 :)

Bitter_Angel 11-03-2010 11:20 PM

ah, I wish I could do more like this.
Do you draw everything out? or use them from other sources?
I use cs2 for the work I do. And I have recently invested in a load of pluggins which are just amazing and I am having loads of fun with.

Bad Day 11-03-2010 11:35 PM

It's more photography based than anything. I use a variety of my own pictures and stock from Deviant Art which i'm allowed to use and make them all fit together. Like the dress in the 2nd picture is made out of 3 different images.

akita 12-03-2010 06:47 AM

Nice images.

FakeSmiles 12-03-2010 03:17 PM

Put your others up :P

Bad Day 12-03-2010 03:22 PM

Human? Are we all what we seems to be?

Bad Day 12-03-2010 03:26 PM

Even Angels get crushed.
Everyone gets burdened by the weight of the word, it's difficult for everyone. Just have to find the strength to carry on. Through all the pain, it can only get easier, right?

Bad Day 12-03-2010 03:28 PM

I can't escae this without you. Come be by my side and help out of this mess.


Bad Day 12-03-2010 03:39 PM

Love,
Time.

_Mish_ 12-03-2010 03:47 PM

Wow, these are.... stunning. Incredible. I mean... really.

Speechless.

<3

Rockyb_123 12-03-2010 06:49 PM

I also use CS3, but really nice work man, I like the eye one a lot especially, and I love the clocks concept.

This is an Alice in wonderland themed image, this one took me WAY longer than I anticipated.


FakeSmiles 17-03-2010 09:37 PM

Bump :)

mikey 17-03-2010 09:56 PM

These are fantastic, you have a really good eye for a captivating image.
I would love to see more.

Bad Day 20-03-2010 01:33 AM

Sometimes I get pins and needles, Facades are a fire on my skin.


Bad Day 22-03-2010 12:55 AM

So I have come to the conclusion, life is to good to waste not doing anything, and life is less like finding who you are and more like creating it. Your not what you want to be? Why not change it? it's easy, just try it, you'll see. :)


Annaberry 22-03-2010 01:30 AM

Very very beautiful work!

Doikers 22-03-2010 04:32 PM

These are REALLY good wow, Thanx for posting :)

Bad Day 25-03-2010 06:59 PM

This is an old one:

Alone... left alone
watch us slowly disappear with time
Alone... still alone
Forgotten, lost and left behind


Rockyb_123 27-03-2010 01:42 PM

I really like your work, I do some photoshop myself but I've never really tried anything like this. I might give it a go, I especially like the one of the reflection.

Lets Just Get Out Alive




Snow-In-Wonderland 28-03-2010 07:12 PM

Wow these are amazing! Very beautiful

Bad Day 30-03-2010 10:42 AM

Help The Helpless

This one was sput of the moment one night, it was really foggy only around this graveyard and sky above was clear as anything and could see so many stars.

Anyway the concept of this is that, why do most people just leave people alone when there need help the most? Why are alot of friends so fickle and only want to be there when we're feeling good? I know this site is a great help. :) I'm talking about some people in the real world.



StaceyBee 01-04-2010 08:54 AM

Wow, these are really good
Can you put some more up please?
:)

Bad Day 01-04-2010 04:21 PM

Thank you everyone, I much appreciate the comments. :)

fangurl, I'll add another one for you, some I can't add on here, because I don't think i'm allowed to show scars.

Bad Day 01-04-2010 04:26 PM

A New Hope

This one speaks for itself really, I was feeling pretty good at the time of this one. Very hopeful, and that feeling has really stuck with me. I'm glad I have so many things that can keep me from negative thoughts.


Bad Day 11-04-2010 11:18 PM

I don't want to feel like this anymore

I kinda decied enough is enough. I don't want to feel this down anymore. I'm going to try my best to get myself out of these awful depression phases. It's not welcome, I don't want them. And being hopefull. I have changed. I am a stronger person and I won't slip back and do anything bad anytime soon if ever.


Bad Day 14-04-2010 10:29 AM

With my infinate imagination I named this Ducky. :)

I was sitting in a park by the ever edge, just condemplating life and this beautiful duck was washing himself next to me in a small puddle next to the waters edge. I caught him at the perfect moment.


Amour 14-04-2010 06:41 PM

WOW :D
I love them all!
The duck one is my favourite! ( I like ducks :] )
Keep up the good work, I'd love to see more

Rockyb_123 14-04-2010 11:57 PM

Thats an amazing shot!

crazykat 15-04-2010 04:25 AM

Wow these are incredible

Bad Day 15-04-2010 11:21 PM

Thank you very much you three. :) I really apriciate it. It makes me happy knowing people like my work. I've just done a new image. I'll now post it.

Bad Day 15-04-2010 11:23 PM

Just Won't Leave My Mind

I've had this idea fo so so long. But I never really got around to doing it. I'm not sure where the idea came from. Perhaps from reading wind in the Willows and playing chess. Or maybe another from Alice in wonderland. But I think I quite like this one. Also things in my life have gotten so much better, I'm actually enjoying myself. Life is great. There so much to do and learn. Sorry about


xkatiex 17-04-2010 08:44 PM

really nice

~Grace~ 17-04-2010 10:38 PM

I really like them, especially the last one xx

I-Feel-Infinite 17-04-2010 10:38 PM

These are seriously amazing!

Bad Day 17-04-2010 11:19 PM

Once again. Really! Thank you everyone.

mikey 17-04-2010 11:32 PM

These are all great, but the duck one is my favourite, it's a fantastic shot.
Can I ask what camera you have?

Bad Day 17-04-2010 11:36 PM

You may. I have an Cannon EOS 50D with a 28mm-135mm Lense. :)

mikey 17-04-2010 11:43 PM

Hehe, thanks.
Wow, very nice indeed. Just a touch (!) out of my price range unfortunately (I'm looking to buy a new camera), but the photos are absolutely gorgeous. The detail on that duck one is really great and it's so clear.

Bad Day 17-04-2010 11:50 PM

Yeah. I'm lucky really. mine was a gift. I could NEVER afford it. I generaly mainly post heavily edditted pictures on here, so sorry for lack of 'normal' images. But thank you about the Duck one. Thats one of my favorites because it's so natural.

There are loads of good cameras around. :) You don't need on thats really expensive to be a good photographer. Just an good eye.

Scumbelina 26-04-2010 03:17 AM

These are incredible! Wish I was capable of creating anything remotely resembling that using photoshop!

Buttons. 26-04-2010 03:28 AM

Those are amazing. You have a real talent. Love the duck one!

Cryptic. 28-04-2010 10:51 PM

This is amazing.

&you can show scars, as long as there is a trigger.
xx

Bad Day 29-04-2010 12:08 AM

Ohh thank you, I wasn't aware that I could. I've been wanted to post this for awhile. as It shows me in the truest sense of the world.
