The Lighthouse Keeper

I ran across this picture on Flickr, I extracted him and used my little coloring program to put in the flesh and basic colors then in PSE8, I shaded and dithered him. I love how he turned out.
Everything else is from Beth Rimmer's fantastic Kit, Nantucket from Deviant Scrap

Peacock Ball Room

Got Beth Rimmer's new What About Bob Kit from DeviantScrap! and I knew I wanted a party scene. This is my first try.

Most all from BRimmer, What About Bob kit,DeviantScrap.

After the Last Drink

I had in mind this scene, and it took a few hours to find the right element, background and textures, but i like how it turned out. I used some manual shading in blue and black.

I made this piece for a Group challenge on Flickr group Ruby's Treasures. I have been reading the Phillip Pullman Trilogy His Dark Materials (Golden Compass, etc) and new I wanted the feel to be otherworldly/steampunk as well as have a relationship with a human.

Playing with some elements from several "kits" last night.Mostly from "Before the First Snow" by LDavison and the rest-I didn't record. I used several layers to get an Antique/grungy look, altering each one.
It was fun to "paint "with the digital elements.
You may notice that the blog has changed a bit. I put up a different background and made the Header on PSE8 . I am very happy with how it turned out. Let me know what you think.

Still Life with window-digital collage

Originally uploaded by Queen Be-Lynne Larkin

I am still playing with digital collage and here is my very latest collage. I used elements from the very Talented Lori Davison's "Before the First Snow" My Flickr Photostream is filling up with all sizes of these digital collages. I have so much fun putting all the elements together.
It has been a challenge to teach myself, via books and YouTube tutorials but I am having a great time.
