Silver and Gold, Duality, Gemini

This composition is in the works, though mostly finished.
It's in the place I want it, but, there's a few nagging things that still need redress.
The Gemini symbolism needs a little bit more work.
The hand in the lap with Blue/Gold is also bothering me, so, I may remove that arm/hand combo, and put in another arm/hand doing something else more active or visible.

Getting the model put together in one piece took well over a dozen frames stitched together.  The original piece, which I'll post at the bottom, was a close crop frame, capturing only the model's head, and upper torso; itself  coposite of two frames.

Greater detail added.  Getting close to finished.

still needs more detail ...

work in progress ... Left side mostly finished (choosing arm/hand at this point)

Here's the 'original' Frame/crop (also a composite)

Switching through and looking between this last (original) one and the final pose position, you can see where the knees blocked half of the model's bust, and abdomen.

The knees were removed, and you, of course see the results.  

Since the very top of the heads were chopped, new hair styles were also brought into play.  

Event Horizon

The following is a revisit of a shot I've previous composed, but, an altogether new composition.

Mermaid Revision + Before and After

This composition was 'complete' several months ago, but, the original arm reaching from the left to right, towards the jelly, always bothered me.  It looked too short due to perspective from the forearm being bent toward the camera.

I've fixed that by replacing the arm with the same arm, but, from a different frame out of the same photo shoot.

Further, I've put together a before-and-after for comparison with the original shot.

Jinn, Djinn, Genie, Jinni or a Harem girl?

This work and many others can be purchased in a selection of sizes, on paper, or canvas at: http://ix09.imagekind.com/

Djinn, Genie; a capricious spirit known for granting wishes, but, in reality, causing more mischief and ruin than anything benevolent. Wish at your own peril.

I Dream of Genie:

I'm rather happy with the idea to use chameleon lizards on the shoulder straps.  :)

... and here's another with a different model:  

Macbook Apple Variations, Skins

I've noticed a trend with some who own Macbooks.  People are skinning their laptops with art, typically integrating the glowing Apple logo into the personalizations.

The following are a some ideas I tossed together in Photoshop.  Feel free to find the source art online, to print your own sticker for use.  I'm too poor to have my own Macbook, iPad, or even a laptop to do this to (Hint - buy some of my art at: http://ix09.imagekind.com/   Please?), thus, these are just Photoshop ideas.

But what do digital shepherds dream of?

We're all familiar with the question and title; Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Any debate regarding the capability of sheep, electronic or no of dreaming, I'm going to leave alone.
Where digital shepherds are involved in herding electric sheep, however, more than of their flocks they may dream.
