Wishing for Something"I wish we could be together."
"Yeah," he says, "I wish a lot of things."

In the silence, he realizes that he's terrified of her. Of what she might mean. There's so much that he could tell her, but the words he longs to speak stick in his throat, leaving him breathless.

She smiles, golden in the sunset, and blows on a dying dandelion. The gossamer seeds fly away as she looks at him tightly and tilts her head towards him. Looking at the faint curve of her lips, he knows exactly what she wished for.

Oh long-lost boy, this is the moment you always wanted, the moment you hoped would never come.

He kisses her, because what else is he suppose

Says the monster,"It's awfully lonely being this scary."

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Emotional

This is part of my collection of past digital art – deviations that I don't consider to be of significant artistic value, but are part of my journey as an artist.

Inspiration
This is one of my pieces of art in a series of emotion-based eye manipulations (the only one I didn't remove from deviantART). I worked with ~Deathamusesme to create them.

Hope was one of the emotions that I really wanted to do. It is one of the most powerful things in all of humanity. Even in the darkest places, hope can light up your eyes.

Technique
In this piece, I began with a very inspiring picture and spent some time imagining what it would end up like. When I started, I isolated the iris before adjusting the hue to the flared gold, and then the highlights and shadows so that it seemed to glow. From that, I merged the layers and then darkened the shadows so that the pupil was truly a beacon of light - the symbol of hope.

Special mentions
I used ~Donovanian's stock image.
