Debut of the Lightning Fish

Oh lightning fish in the deep blue sea, how glittery are thee!

I'm not sure what type of caffeine concoction I was drinking the day I put this photomanip together but it was certainly potent. It started off from following a tutorial to outright disregarding the tutorial (because the creator never seems to actually teach how to create an effect).



So I went wild and threw every sparkle and brush overlay effect I could onto the photo. The "sending kisses" text in the upper left-hand corner seems both out of place yet oddly satisfying.

Photo-manipulation of a normal fish

Since I create my own book covers I like to practice some form of art every day to keep up. I'm mostly self-taught (and I'm sure it shows a ton) but there's just something about making art that brings a smile to my often weary days.

In this case, it's a fishie that got to experience my quirky taste. There's no rhyme or reason to making it and here's the thing: it doesn't need a reason.

Have fun!
