heart of thorns

hmmm what to say about this one... well this started as just an expirement and I liked the way it turned out. I took the barbed wire tattoo which was originally in blue with a silver lining which i took and rotated 90 degrees, desaturated it, then selected just the white, inverted my selection and turned the entire tattoo to black by colorizing it Then I took the heart image and decreased the intensity of shadow the shadows. Then i took the tribal wings and placed them behind the heart and gave it the multiply property to get rid of the white space.
