Artist's Comments

Background
Ever since I made the 5800 pixel wide design for my homepage, I wanted to do a sequel that would extend the original concept. Apart from being portrait-oriented instead of landscape, I wanted this piece to retain the original colours of each image as well as include a lot more ladies :) Actually, there is one lady per scene, except the final one where I couldn't find any matching stock.

Technique
Done entirely in Photoshop, with 144 layers in two separate files for a total of 80 Mb. Including cutout work the whole piece took about 38 hours to complete, and sports an original size of 1147x10225 pixels.

Credits
I used a total of 22 stock images. Here is the complete breakdown by scene (from top to bottom):

Scene 1 "The tree of origin"

Thanks for the comment! Yes, the "Girl in green" series is really nice - I was quite happy to find that shot as it fit perfectly into the scene :)
