Tempest

This is my latest collage and so far the most complex. Many, many layers later... Please click on it to see a larger version as some of the detail is hard to see in this smaller version.

The dragonfly - a grasshawk - has been handpainted and then been combined with the background.

I've used lots of textures this time, including some of my own:
Absynthium Stock Flame Textures [link]
Buzillo-Stock Grunge [link]
Fudgegraphics Grunge Nebula [link]
Freaky665 Memories [link]
Princess of Shadows Vintage Grunge [link]
Lordarq Clouds [link]

I have also used several of my own, including one of sea glass pebble, and sand, a photograph of the breakers at Southwold, a cloud picture etc. etc.

It was a more difficult picture to work at as the lighting needed to be right to make you feel like you're looking at a storm without all the detail washing out.

The title is inspired of course by Shakespeare's Tempest.
