My pixie

Someone saw my image 'Dream Weaver' http://michaelo.cgsociety.org/gallery/490557/ and they told me about the work of Lori Earley http://www.loriearley.com/ whom I had never heard of before. Of course, looking through her galley inspired me to do another of a similar style.

This is a photo manipulation made with a lot of help from the liquify tool and a few color layer styles in Photoshop. I also used Painter for some blending effects for the first time in a long time.
