This is by far the longest, difficult and complicated image I've done so far. It is my first attempt at a true photo manipulation type image. After working on it for hours and hours, i decided to stop before i got to far in over my head, trying to get every little detail perfect, every little rough edge smooth, etc. As far as i am concerned, i am trying every trick and skill that i've learned to try and make this image a reality. Even though it's not perfect though, i am still very proud of my work considering my current artistic abilities, amount of effort and patience.

This picture wouldn't have been possible without an entire group of benefactors, who all contributed in a big way. First of all, for allowing me to use their images (of which are): "Heart on Fire" by Jacqueline (J_272004); "Ion Burst" by Rylee (FrozenSolid). Also a thanks to Keith (Keifer) and Andrew (cgImagery) for "proof viewing" a preliminary attempt (before going with the 'full scale' project). And also one last thanks to Carl (d_spin_9) for his support in the creation of this image. This image wouldn't have been possible without all these supporting people. Thank you all!

Feel free to comment (and be honest and open about what you think). Oh and by the way, that is me in the photo.
