This piece took a lot of work in Photoshop as I had problems with the wings because I used an alpha channel for the render and the wings were partially transparent once the background was removed, which was not what I wanted. I also believe I whitened the wings. There are many layers of flowers, which are scans of real flowers. The butterflies are scans of feather butterflies. I created the sky background in Photoshop using a KPT sky filter. This piece also required quite a bit of post-work to fix some rendering and shadow problems. This was originally a piece I made for my digital photography class.
