This is my entry for the Celestial-Luminesse contest “Tell Me What You Mean”
The scan I got here on MT. The phrase that I am telling the meaning of in this wall is “I’m coming apart at the seams.” I picked this girl because she looks sad and lost, which fits with the theme and also because she had enough skin showing for the seams. I painted and vectored the seams onto her and painted the places where the seams are split to show depth to the opening. I had to paint and clone her back and part of the ribbons to remove a bird that was over her in the original. I had to repaint some of the lines and hair back in too. I extracted her rather than vector it because the color and texture of the original scan fit the mood of the wall.
The Background is all original vector and text grunge. The text is layered to so the confusion and loss of control once again to point back to my theme phrase. The text is all lines from the song “Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes” by FOB. The first line of the song is “I’m coming apart at the seams” and song describes that lost and confused about life and everything in it. To further the sense of falling apart I vectored additional letters to make it seem as if they are slipping away from her. To add depth I did a gradient on the upper “split” part of the bg and vectored slightly faded stars, to represent fading dreams.
This wall took at 6 hours total, but that was working straight through without a break once the inspiration hit me. I
didn’t count the layers as usual ^_^’

This is very interesting and meaningful, I love the BG's color and how you formed it.
It was what caught my attention, someting so magical in it...I just adore it really.
The scan is very nicely vectored, and although I read why you extracted it for this BG
I think vectoring it would've been alot better.
Though that doesn't take away from how lovely the wall is, small suggestion is
to really try and enhance the scan after extracting it. Like giving it deeper, rich color
and helping the quality out by duplicating the scan, blurring and then apply the layer with softlight. You'll see the awesome difference once you do.
Really great job <3 -

I thought I recognised the title! :D
The seams look really good, as if they're part of the original scan. The BG matches really nicely as well as being quite cute. <3 Great use of text too, and great song choice. lol -
