Aerowen, Welsh Goddess of the Battlefield
Jul 22, 2021 13:29:21 #
Aerowen decided who won and who lost, who lived and who died. She probably had quite a few friends!
A composite of my own images, Aerowen is played by Becky a fashion and glamour model taken at a group shoot (and has appeared in other poses in some of my previous posts). Her helmet is from a sculpture by Angie Doy and can currently be seen at the sculpture exhibition in the grounds of our National Motor Museum, Beaulieu. The setting is Snowden. Layer count 84. Finished in Topaz Impressions, Rembrandt Portrait filter.

Wow, what a project. I used to think I did composites until I saw some of yours. You are a Layer Master for sure. That must be certainly in the top ten of all composites posted on UHH. It is, of course, beautiful to look at.

My word, that’s high praise indeed Curmudgeon! Very pleasing to know you enjoyed it so. It’s not terribly complex as a composite although, as always, the model wasn’t quite the way I wanted for this image and is made from four or five parts, plus her props. Whilst the total layer count is high, most are clipped adjustments. The biggest problem is always thinking-up the concept.

Major criticism... you did not recommend and give a link to Tannhäuser und der Sängerkrieg auf Wartburg, "Tannhäuser and the Minnesingers'. The Wiki photo for the opera has the same mood as your wonderful construct.

Sample of the music:

Next time you have good wine and your dark TV room with great audio ... sip wine for 5 hours and watch Richard Burton portray Wagner:

Hard Rock can not compete with Wagner! Thank you, Magnetoman, for the stimuli thought/remembrance of Wagner.

Once again your composite is well thought out and executed. Unlike most of us each layer is something you photographed. No need to use anything of that internet thingy, called the WorldWideWeb.
To me making a composite is based on skill and imagination. Of which you have both.

I don’t think my goddess has too many lovesongs in her repertoire Don! I will however happily listen in to your links - many thanks for them and your observations.

Thanks Frank, nice of you to say so but, as you know, it’s not always easy to think of a good concept.

Your ability to execute your vision to perfection is astounding, Magnetoman (sorry I forgot your given name). I’m full of envy ….🤢

No need to be envious Stan, they take far too long and I should be doing more useful things! On the other hand, they are fun! Thanks for your comments,
Dave.
