Photoshop 6

Ok, this took freaking forever! I'm so very proud of it though. I did it entierly with the mouse and I think it looks pretty good. This picutre has a funny story to it. I actually did the pencil sketch in late May. The I didn't do much with the picture. I retraced it once to color in markers, flubbed that, so the picture sat around. You see, I didn't see anything special about Sirius half behind a curtain.
Then I got OotP. Then I wanted to finishe the picture. As I said I'm pleased with how it came out considering the tools I have and my photoshop skills as they stand now.
In case anyone is freaking out, no, I did not do the background entierly be hand. The starryness is a photograph of the Andromada system that I manipulated (which did take forver). The border I found online at a place that has lots of un-copywrighted art nouveau borders. I borrowed one and I manipulated that too.

On the off chance that anyone wants to see the progression of the picture here it is. I was putting it up in stages on my LJ, hence all these pictures.
