Dreams can be strange. Sometimes things make no sense but amaze you none the less. Animals talk, you walk on the sky, and even light may not cast any shadow! (Added for those who may notice no shadows in this entry! :D) Anything goes in a creative dream.

Only Source image used.

Thanks to Iardacil-stock for the pose stock.

Various techniques thrown together... and you get..... THIS!!!! enjoy

I was going to name this work as (Before the Battle) because my first inspiration made me draw the face stressed out, but i wanted to use the source image in more than just texturing, so i decided to make that evil character which imposed upon me changing the name, there were few options those related to wars and can match my entry, so i picked this one because this evil character represents war makers.

I spent hours and hours painting this to get the original concept i was thinking about, some flaws must be made during the painting process, therefore feed back is appreciated.

Many thanks to silegl69 from sxc.hu for his permission on the statue photo.

Edit: Further modifications have been done.

When i started to work on this entry i did not know what exactly i was going for, i just loaded the source image into liquify filter and began to tweak it a little here and there until i came up with a suitable female face, after a few minutes of concentration i got this idea.
