and this is kids, how you transform an over the edge gif to a comedic one (we already have a ton of suicide reaction pictures). It would make much more sense if it were a quesadilla though.

> Definitely an improvement. Like it.
yeah, simply using the shadows, a little bit of sharpness, clarity and more intensity in the color can end up with this result. It served me to warm up a bit because I haven´t made edits for a long time. Not that it requires any practice but what came right after it, it would make sense that I started with something as simple as that.

> This is so cool! An old picture that wasn't a gem, but not horrible. It feels very Halloween or Autumn themed.
thanks, I didn´t expect to see such a positive reaction because...


>  It (and the original pic even to an extent) are kinda strange. Did ya have any special thought process or drive with this one?
it is indeed strange and most likely, the most unknown territory to show. I have always feared about using more than 3 layers in any picture and without the flaw effect from the mobile app, this is probably the most recharged and saturated pictured that has ended up in this state. 

I didn´t know what to reach, it´s all been trial and error, modifying the adjustments until I created layers that looked correct to me. I kept going as if it was a video game and I have like 5 checkpoints/layers of images that I have saved during the process in order to continue, I cannot explain exactly what I have made nor what I wanted except lessening the cold effect from the original picture. 

I wanted to add a little bit more of brightness because it looks certainly awkward to me but I would ruin that aesthetic that you have described. I left it at that and after a certain layer, I played with the wings´ shadows and almost any adjustment would look cool with them by taking them into account.

I could analyze the process by judging on reverse but I have clicked on so many things and moved the effect all the time that it came because of having a good time while listening to dream pop rather than achieving anything in particular.

I couldn´t conclude nor comment about anything because my feelings were (and still are) mixed towards it, posting it for having this thread more active.
