The Secret Garden

full view, or you will have no hopes of ever reading the text, kthnx. ^.~ (plus, it just looks way better.)

holy god, this took a long time to make!!!! I like it, though; I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

haha.... I actually did not do anything involving blood. I'm rather surprised.... hahaha. but anywho.... I don't even know what possessed me to do this, actually. I guess I just got a random desire to do a Secret Garden picture....

anyway.... this is pretty much the product of my boredom AND the fact that I am actually procrastinating on an English assignment. >.>;; I've never done that before.

anywho, CREDITS!

that's right, folks; I made the model from scratch. *feels accomplished* I used all the above photographs, merged them, then put this really nice "luminosity" filter on it.
