Background;  Butterflies; artolog at flickr.com challiyan at flickr.com Il conte di Luna at flickr.com Cat; MRN at Imagine That studio 2008 Manip;  Use permitted only to MRN at Imagine That studio as a desktop wallpaper. It's only polite not to even rip a manip of her late friend. I didn't want to upload it here but the size was too much for imageshack so yeah.. =/ I kinda got a job as a personalizer at Imagine That Studio recently and I came across a request for a manip in memory of her beloved cat, Willow. I was pretty sorry for her loss so I decided to take the request. Below are the symbolism used in this manip, it's exactly the same as on the pick-up thread on the site since I just copied and pasted. xD Ignore it if it bores you. x3 Firstly, background-hunting was immediately done only with the keyword "bridge". Why? To me, bridges are a form of way for you to get from one side to another and in my opinion, death is nothing but the change of worlds and for Willow to get to the other side, she has to cross a "bridge". Secondly, the halo(Look closer, and you'll spot a butterly who is actually crowning her the halo) represents that she has attained her passport to heaven. [: If you see closely, Willow is sort of translucent with sparkles around her and she's looking back at the foilage behind her. The shrubs and plants behind her represents Nature on Earth which is where her friends and loved ones are. It is to show how unwilling she is to leave but she must do so. The sparkles are kind of an effect when she undergoes the "transformation" to go to the "other side". Thirdly, to me, unlike humans, animals are less complicated, less cunning and pretentious so they deserve to go to heaven or somewhere pleasent when they retire from their life. Thus, there are butterlies and a dragonfly, which are beautiful graceful, acting as escorts. And yes, the light does falls on her to show that she is going to a brighter and better place. ^^ There are quotes flying around at the top, which I found via the Internet. The large words are more of the attraction and since it's going to be a desktop wallpaper, I made sure they are on the right side because I don't want the icons to block it. [; Seriously, if I had some background info on Willow, it'll probably have more symbolism and such. ^^" I probably went a little overboard with my attempt on symbolism. ^^" |

Sad, but you did a good job of portraying a cute quality, rather than the normal mourning of the loss.
I really enjoy this picture, and the butterflies/dragonfly and the cat are very well done. <3
I especially like the halo.
Very well done!
