UPDATE (May 30th 2012): Did a few minor edits to fix a few minor details. Nothing big. Thanks for all your support on this piece in particular over the years
____________________________________________ This is now officially the most painstaking piece I've worked on. It took me all day. I redid this about 6 or so times before I was satisfied with it. I love the way it turned out. Originally I had wanted a blue close-up photomanipulation, but I ended up with a green half-body. Still very amazing, I think. About 10 layers of work. Full view plz.
