Thanks to George55 for the Jar (pxleyes stock) and Auroradreams for the boy. The background image is my own (see SBS for permission etc.)

I first color corrected the photo a little bit, and removed the blue and red fringe around the guy, then i created the table, with some fibers, and textures. Then i created the big thing: the eyes. They took small amount of time to create them actually. Last, i added shadows and few things.

In this composite i used some images and some filters to achieve this soil and dust that appears under the highway. I used some fibers, clouds, noise etc. to get that kinda cement effect.The sun burst effect was created by an angle gradient. Then i added the car, and some ligtning and shadows.

She likes the quiet, dark places.

Edit ... added more water and droplets. General clean up ;)

Lady is from Chonastock at deviantart ... wonderful stock providers and artists!

Background is my own image and can be seen in the SBS #14
