Erm, first of all, I apologize for the lack of blogging.

Secondly, I’d like to thank all the people who wished me happy birthday (even though I’m somewhat upset that I’m 18 now), either via Facebook (majority), text (minority) [by the way, I lost most of my contacts a while back and the list isn’t entirely recovered. So in case you text me and I ask for your name, don’t feel too hurt or what, kay?], verbally (minority’s minority).

Either way, thanks for wishing me!

I just finished a piece of work, a photo manipulation :

In My Dream

Yeah, that’s the title. I’m not making up the name, it’s got a reason behind: I dreamt bout this place. It was sooooo beautiful in my dream, I can’t bring Bong there so I decided to let him see how it’s like actually. Of course, I’m no manipulation guru so the outcome’s less attractive as compared to the scene I saw in my dream. But too bad I can’t show you my dream to let you make comparisons.

Sky (texture) by I-Love-Stock :

This isn’t really obvious but I used some clouds to make my gradient sky more realistic.

Trees by gabriella-stock :

There are two trees in my photo manipulation  but actually they are the same one as shown in the photo above. I just cut & paste it’s own parts to make them look different.

From collecting stock to final touchup, it took me around 7 hours I believe. Well, this is what bored people do……

Hope you like it.

Thanks for reading =)

P.s. Comments and critiques?
