The blue and the ice textures symbolize winter and coldness and the book is a way to make the cold go away... immerse yourself in a good story and forget the world around you.
Again, for the calendar that's going to be the Christmas present for my parents. Both of them love books - my mum even works in a library. Stock: =Shoofly-Stock ~nighty-stock and my own By popular demand The whispy stuff was done using Apophysis fractals (it's a free program) - here you can read up on how I incorporate them into my work [link] If you need some things to get you started, you can find the books, some fractals and some Photoshop brushes created from fractals at my stock account =kuschelirmel-stock have fun! |

Want to get further exposure for your art?
The use of the fractal for the wispy bits coming out of the book is a great idea! It works very well here!
Overall, the idea is easily understood, without the explanation, which makes this a success in my eyes.
Critiques? I'm not sure about the actual cloud image itself. For some reason it doesn't strike me as "cold" enough. The book has warm hues, and I like that this is also in the clouds, but perhaps only using the warms as a gentle touch to the clouds would be more effective?
I'm not quite sure, but I thought I'd mention it.

I wish you could see me beaming at your comment
the colors were something I tried working on for quite some time: I had it blue on the outside and only the warm stuff on the "inside" of the book and where the butterflies are, but it looked fake (the reason is probably that the cloud texture goes over the book and if you make one part really blue and the other is left as is, you lose the connection between the book and the surroundings which makes it look pasted in) - my compromise was to adjust the hues a bit (yes, they were even warmer when I started out
with manips it seems you can never have everything lol
