Author's Note: I'm very excited to submit my first work here on worth1000! The illustration was constructed in PhotoShop. I used several photo references (since the forum post said it was OK :-D). Other than that, a lot of smudging, airbrushing and a few custom tailored brushes for the hair and clouds. Hope you all enjoy! Comments and criticisms welcomed and appreciated.
