Dreamer's Challenge: Crackle

Not with a club, the heart is broken,

Nor with a stone;

A whip so small you could not see it,

I've known.

To lash the magic creature

Till it fell,

Yet that whip's name too noble

Then to tell.

Magnanimous of bird

By boy described

To sing unto the stone

Of which it died.

~ Emily Dickinson

About artwork: Created using various elements from itKuPiLLi Imagenerium's digital kits, as well as textures, brushes and elements from my personal collection. The crackle effect was created both by brushes and by cracked textures using many different blending modes in Photoshop CC 2015.

Thanks for looking!

Dreamer's Challenge: Masquerade

Masquerade! Paper faces on parade,

Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you.

Masquerade! Every face a different shade,

Masquerade! Look around, there's another mask behind you.

~Andrew Lloyd Weber
