Fullview Please!

If I would, could you?

This was initially based on a story that I tried to write...but then I got a little carried away with the layers and what not.

I mean, the story was crap, but I wasn't ready to let go of the founding concept: struggling to find your true self in a world that is based upon illusion. What if someone comes along who says she can help you do exactly that....but she is an illusion, too?

Ooh! Ooh! I remember this story! :D
Nice job! The green letters add a magnificently eery glowy effect. :'D

Yeah, I hated the way the story came out.....makes a better manip, don't you think?
Absinthe is green :D or at least it's supposed to be......:analprobe:

Yeah, I know it's busy....was a little worried about that. Does it take away from the image too much?

Mm, I think you're right. Though...knowing the story behind it really adds something to the manip, I have to say. :)

You shouldn't worry... it's a wonderful piece. I think it's perfect for what the concept is about. Illusions, yes?
