the world has bigger plans for me

meow ;)
very nice :)
here kitty kitty kitty
Rosie's watching us from here.
What's this shadow of?
yes
im not sure, i think maybe rocks, it came on the stock picture so i didn't like to mess with it!
fantastic zigzag!
shadow over the cats paws?
so sad , it's been cut, scarry future. well done hun.
it doesn't have to be!
Me gusta este tuba, hace que la foto se vea futurista...
I do like this Rosie. I'm gonna live there when I leave home :)
I think they are both shadows of the cat, like if it was lit from the back and lit from the side...
Sort of reminds me of a yellow brick road, only not yellow?
beautifully done ! brings isolation to my head..
awww
Yay birds are back!
Scary present =/
what have we done to our world?? :(
It reminds me of the song "Mad World" piano version...
I think this town looks like the Earth in Wall-E!
I'm a box inside of another box.
in love with the clouds
fantastic!
Como rompen los huevos las notes!.
these birds are perfect
aww.Such a cute cat.Lost in a big city.lol
the world has bigger plans for me by rosiehardy.
So here is my first full piece of digital art. I put this together using stock from sxc.hu and a photo I took of my cat tonight. I've experimented with editing alot but this is the first make-believe piece I've done where I've constructed the scenery etc. I taught myself how to make shadows too!

When I took up 365 days, the aim for me was to make sure I practice photography and photo-editing every day. I am completely sick of taking photos of myself, so I might modify my 365 project - i want to start making images using other people so badly, but I never have enough time because I spend it all doing 365s. Because of this I think I'm gonna make it so that instead of taking a self-portrait a day, I make a picture a day. Most of them will continue to be selfs because I won't be able to capture models every day, but it'll be fun seeing what I can come up with and allow a whole lot more variety!!!

I have a really big important phonecall to take tonight... i am nervous!! eep!!

I've had a few emails from people telling me my photos here on flickr are being used on other sites without my permission, and instead of blabbering on about it here, you can read up on it on mine and aaron's blog :) 
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

I was just thinking recently it must be a lot of pressure for you to create an amazing self portrait every day, now you have such a following there are so many people who await your work with anticipation, myself included!

Nice digital artwork, am desperate to zoom in and check the seams lol!

By giving yourself more time it will be good for you to photograph more of your own stock images, ill bet you could put a great set together yourself. :o)

I agree with your 365 idea. I am starting mine shortly and I purchase a new lens, and I am not going to do mine solely based on self portraits. I really like this photo, great job as usual. That is too bad about your photos being used on other websites.

I like the fact that you are taking a turn in your 365's, and now taking photos of something else as well as other people, I would love to model if I were where you live, lol, I love to be taken photos of...

Anyways, I like this photo, its still got your style, even though you are not in the picture, keep up the good Work!

ps. can you tell us a hint on how to make shadows? ive tried using Gimp but they come up really bad...

Love your kitty! S/he looks like my Peanut - - same coloring and markings. Although, she does look quite lonely. . .

I think it's wonderful that you are branching out and doing things other than self-portraits. We can't grow if we don't experiment and try new things. I shared your photostream with a friend last night, and she was blown away by your work. She's also quite jealous at how pretty you are - - but, then again, aren't we all? Keep up the wonderful creations, Rosie. We love your work!
