I really enjoyed working on this particular image. Look at me was a chance to try out some new techniques. I did extensive retouch work to this image including, completely recreating the eyes and lips, whitening the teeth, and smoothing the skin.

I used different adjustment layers to really get the image to pop. The butterfly wings I did myself using a reference. The model in this image was great and had very unique and expressive features that allowed this image to work the way I imagined it.

The model stock from this came from: http://nikxstock.deviantart.com/ and the bubble brushes which I modified came from: http://brusheezy.com

This image all together took about 20 Hours or so in Photoshop using my Wacom tablet. This image actually is pretty popular in my gallery and was featured twice on deviant art. I’m considering making this available as part of a series of iPhone Wallpapers I want to release later this month.
