A wallpaper re-work

galatheaSo, instead of creating some of the gazillion ideas that float around in my head, I decided to re-work one of my favourite older wallpapers. Now that I have that off the table I can return to newer stuff .. hopefully! *g*
The Mask is one of my favourite manips that I have ever done and I was itching to re-work it for quite some time now, 'cause I still think the idea behind it is awesome and deserves the best I am able to do. When I created it, my PS skills were way less developed than they are now and so I took the opportunity today to change some parts that were really bothering me. Firstly, I was now able to work out Dean's eyes, they were barely visible before and I also manipped the top of his head in, since it looked cut off in the original.
Unfortunately I think the cap of Dean closing the door behind him in the first version (symbolising how Dean shuts out the world from his problems) is not really recognisable as such, so I decided to replace it with the stock of a closing door instead, the darkness behind it still visible. Additionally I removed the texture, worked some highlights in and changed to a warmer colouring. I am very happy with the end result.
