"The women of this country learned long ago that those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain."

~ Eowyn, The Lord of the Rings

In times of death and darkness, it was not only the men of our world that took up arms and rode head on, fearlessly into battle.

Lady Stock --> auralis-stock

Background Stock --> stock.xchng


I felt it was about time I created something new for my gallery and I was looking at auralis-stock and saw this beautiful image of her and got inspired. I had already saved the background to my PC awhile ago with the idea of finding something to use it for and it just seemed to fit perfectly with this so I pieced the two pictures together. I didn't even touch any Adobe brushes for once. That is really rare for me since I'm addicted to using brushes, but nope this one didn't really need to be manipulated too much. I didn't want to muss it up too much so I basically sucked out all the color and then played with the levels. When I got a tone I liked I messed with brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, etc... And finally I applied a Gradient I liked. This is the result. I hope you like it. I deffinitely do.
