"Laird of the Manor"

CLICK IMAGE TO MAKE BIGGER, IT'S WORTH IT!!! :)

Highlander's "Tale:"

Enchanting and alluring, Highland Laird Iain Buchanan was born to a clan of warriors. Living in the 21st century, he embraces his Caledonian heritage by reenacting the acts of his ancestors pasts each year in the Scottish Highland Games! He still lives in his family's ancient manor (that probably looks like this -- [link] -- ) housed in Northern Scotland aka the Scottish Highlands.


Information about graphic & resources:

Another "gift art" type of work for my university roomie, Keira. For her website "Love Romance Passion'' ([link]) that blogs on romance novels.

Find the OFFICIAL entry page here ([link])

December 2008-Feb.2009 theme: Highlanders

Requirements: bare chest, tartan, kilt

Model - Florent (the fantastic Sir Flowee!)

Program - Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended Edition (this is the first time I've used it).

Kilt - manipulated from ([link])

Brushes - Amelia Elvish Dream ([link])

Background - Gairloch Highland Holidays & Vacations ([link])

Tartan Overlay & Pattern Blurs: 12 Months of Winter ([link])


Image took about 20-25 hours over 3 weeks to manipulate.


I looked at the covers of Karen Marie Moning's books for inspiration ([link]) and I spent way too much time listening to Blake ([link]) and Celtic Thunder to get *inspired* ([link])


**NOTE: yes, ALL parts of the graphic are manipulated together: Florent, Florent's Shadow, the sky, the cuffs, the kilt, the manor, the Highland beach, the tattoo, the lights etc. etc. etc. Nothing came together, I composed the entire thing! **


***Special thanks to Ajay ([link]) -- for helping me find my shadows "and stuff." :) ***
