Artist Comment

A friend mailed me this image of Morrigan from darkstalkers and I decided to make a wallpaper out of it.

I started with the background where I used the default Photoshop brushes to make a starfield, and then used a few hue/sat layers to get the hues I wanted (purpley). Then I created a sort of inferno in the trees in the far background with a few grunge brushes overlayed with a purple gradient map. I then used a bat brush with scattering to give the impression of a lot of bats taking flight. A moon and the silhouette of a far off forest finish it off.

The name and text are small enough to be hidden under your taskbar, because I'm not really a fan of massive text in most wallpapers and I like to see my icons :D

    A well deserved background for an awesome scan. They compliment each other nicely. The purple blaze is also lights it up perfectly. Must add to fav. GJ

    The sky is fantastic. It has a treatening atmosphere but I like it a lot. The background is so unique and fits well to Morrigan :)

    Beautiful scan and background, I particularly like the aurora effect above the trees and how it connects to the 'pulsing' moon. I question the bats though, as they appear to be some combination of bats, crows, and feathers, instead of just bats. Around her, they look normal, but as they spiral up they look more like crows discarding feathers. There also seems to be a second spiral partially hidden by the night sky on the far left.

    All in all an amazing piece of work, but with less (or better defined) bats it would've been perfect.
