Invocation of the Spirit

I finally got sick of this lil lady. I've been working on it for a while on and off. Well, sick of this lady and of photoshop's refusal to cooperate. It was a semi-all right picture at the start and slowly went downhill. Then I sort of went insane with the dodge button. Literally.

The background pretty much came about when I was using the dodge tool on the bground and yelled "DAMN IT! ARGGHH!" and scribbled to subject the picture to my frustration-provoked revenge. Thanks to the pressure-sensitivity on the pen it made little streaks that looked sort of like ice. So I figured, "Hey why not. Can't mess it up any more than I already have."

So there we go.

Now excuse me while I go lodge myself in a door.

---> Trusty .5 pencil, PS7, OC for touchups because PS7 took off six years of my life with its tendency to make pics whiter than they first appear when saved.
