so here it is ... done using photoshop cs3 ... not much going on though, but i wanted to capture the look and feel of the entire scene ; the green thingys is actually a default photoshop brush ; settings are very simple and straightforward.. ( will post screenshots soon! )
since, i normally use the mouse ( in all my paintings ) .. the butterfly was created with the pen tool and a hard brush.
finishing : film grain and lens blur, minor color adjustments too.
you are the only one who saw the leaf that way >
god bless you
