Alateia, I would like to offer up my entire Redbubble portfolio which contains over 1500 pieces of artwork for collaborations for digital artists for your Digital Artist’s Front Cover Challenge. They may manipulate any of the images to be a part of this challenge only. I have an abundance of artwork ranging from magical, fractal, nature shots an more. I would luv to see what others can do with them in combination with your provided models. Here is a link to my portfolio if you’re interested in making it available to others.

Alateia in reply to Harold Teel’s comment
oh cool thankyou.
Paul Suryawinata
My pick is #4…. you can absolutely do a lot with it!
The dark background will make it easy to cut the figure out of the background if necessary.
Alateia in reply to Paul Suryawinata’s comment
ooo thanks Paul, do you want to take up the challenge?
Paul Suryawinata
I’ll do my best…. what’s the deadline though? Things are a bit hectic for me until next weekend….
I’m on board, but I’m sure others will be up for it too.
Alateia in reply to Paul Suryawinata’s comment
okidoki, i will email that image through for you to play with.
no hurry, i have to coordinate the exhibition at the moment that is top priority, so , there is time enough…..
David Knight
Id like to play with number one…that sash poses some nice clone stamp challenges..lol but that pose is striking, powerful
Alateia in reply to David Knight’s comment

Alateia in reply to David Knight’s comment

filthy6
With the kind permission of MissyMiss (which I haven’t asked for = hope it’s OK with you M+M if I post this as a very rough starting point example) do you have in mind something like this?
Alateia in reply to filthy6’s comment
wow!! ..thats a nice surprise!!!
WINGED ANGELS…............. something essoteric.. but this is awesome for a comic cover!!! hmmmmmm gets my brain ticking over
hey im going to post some more up for guys to play with…
Alateia in reply to filthy6’s comment
hey filthy, oh by the way, yes the authors are fine with these images being played with,
just wanted to touch base again and let you know there are a few more images up if you feel like a play,
can you make them fly?? do you have any wings lying around by any chance?
Sarah Moore
Here is a rough…what do you think? Is it kind of what you are looking for?
Alateia in reply to Sarah Moore’s comment
yeah, this is looking good, i love the colours and the wings,
can you take the hoop out?
can you change the position of the wings to make it look as though he is just coming down to land… and run some irredescent colours like dragon fly wings perhaps? or do you think he would suit wings more like an arc angel???
love bouncing… thanks sarah
Alateia in reply to Sarah Moore’s comment
i do adore the colours in this sarah…
F.M. Gore-Kelly
Alateia in reply to F.M. Gore-Kelly’s comment

t1nyskert
am i too late???
Alateia in reply to t1nyskert’s comment
no babe, go for it!!!
Dan Perez
This is something that’s right up my alley. I love doing angelic figures and mythological themes. Especially in a contemporary or urban setting. And these are great photos to work with.
So, do I just select one of the photos and play around with it then post it here?
Can I still do that if it’s going to take a couple of days to finish?
Alateia in reply to Dan Perez’s comment
yeppers!! oh, if you like these, you will die when you see the collection…..eeewww
Dan Perez
Great, I can’t wait to get started…although, with me and warped imagination, it’s going to end being angels in abandoned buildings, inner city alleyways, etc…...sorry, nothing traditional
Alateia in reply to Dan Perez’s comment
go for it…..........unleash…............i cant wait to see….. this is getting really exciting…
Alateia in reply to Dan Perez’s comment
take a peek at the collection… ive just posted the link above.
Alateia

Dan Perez
Ivy, I love that photo you put together. The composition of the two bodies is great and the lighting and color is just beautiful
Georgiana Fass...
I have played a bit with the position of the figure and the strength of the fire. Like he is being born of fire…

Skylin
I just found this a couple of days ago and would like to know if I can still post something, even if it is just for critique? I used a few of the models above and would love some feedback. My next question would be how do you put a picture here along with the comment? I am a newbie and haven’t made my way around everywhere yet.
Alateia in reply to Skylin’s comment
absolutely, be my guest.
INSTUCTIONS FOR POSTING IMAGES

Skylin
Well guess that did not work, I copied the address from the properties box and placed an exclamation mark at each end, Guess i am not the sharpest tool in the shed.

The Rescue
Alateia in reply to Skylin’s comment
wow!! this is really interesting.. took me a while to make it out.. captivating and intriguing… i like it.
Alateia in reply to Skylin’s comment
please post the larger version, this is so deserving of taking it in.. its great
Skylin
This would be better seen larger, is there a way to get the image larger for a better critique? I want the full treatment here and I don’t want anyone to miss anything, mistakes and all. This was the most fun I have had in ages and I have so many ideas for more projects. I want to be GOOD and I am sure I can improve on this one, just not sure how yet.
Alateia in reply to Skylin’s comment
well, it all starts with intention.. then it starts growing and if you are dedicated and committed to your vision, it becomes a reality.
you could ‘unhide it’ then view public image, go view larger, copy and paste the location here then hide the image again.
Skylin
