You know those painful relationships that just won't end? No matter how hard to try to get away? They always do something to rope you in... Tears, repeated phonecalls, get pregnant... Yah. Those people. I'm sure there's a poem somewhere in this pic... I just haven't found it yet.
Photo is courtesy of Dave3of4, who allowed me to use a photo from his gallery. Thanks. ^_^ The rest is my own... Done in Photoshop, using only standard brushes, although I'll probably make some brushes and touch it up later. I'm not completely happy with it yet... but I can say that about everything in my gallery, so, here it is anyhow.
Took about 2 hours with interuptions, RPing, and taking stock photos. ^_^
**EDIT** People have accused me of copying someone else's work here.... I didn't. Sure, there's similar stuff out there. Bite me. And no, I don't want to see the work you think I've copied.
**EDIT 2** Bah. Messed with the shadows. I'm not quite happy with it yet.
**EDIT 3 (feb 1 2005)** I got some good feedback on this image and used some of your advice. The polaroids have been edited a little to give them a more 'natural' texture... I just adjusted the contrast and brightness a little on the polaroid layers, and, since they are actual photos of polaroids (the frame part at least), the natural texture started to show up. They're still a little flatter than I'd like, but there's not a whole lot I can do about that at this point. I'd like to get ahold of a higher resolution copy of the picture of the guy and redo the whole picture, but we'll see what happens there. Thanks for all your great feedback. ^_^
**EDIT 4 (dec 5 2005)** Due to the number of people asking to use this image, and the much larger number of people not asking and using it, I've put a bunch of ugly copyrights on it. I hate it as much as you do.
**EDIT 4 (March 11 2007)** Got tired of all the watermarks and people bitching about them. Bitch about the ONE watermark there now, and I'll go overkill again. So shut up.
That's so awesome... the images are literally jumping out.
It reminds me of a printer commerical all at the same time.

All my art has something that I didn't think of until I was working on it... The hands sticking out is this pic's random last minute addition. ^_^ I've had this idea in my head for weeks... maybe months... I like the last minute ideas best.
Kinda like those freakin awesome HP photo printer TV adds? (I think it's HP...) That advertiser agency is GENIUS. (okay, so I have an advertising fettish... >_> )
