The Belly Flame

by 3mmi in Digital Art

This image is mainly inspired by the wonderful art of the tribal bellydancer Rachel Brice and by the music of Pentaphobe / A tribal Metamorphosis. This image is a kind of tribute to the mystical strength of the belly dance through the ages, which is probably the only kind of dance I (really) like (with the headbanging of course, hum...).

Only 3 stock images used in this work (http://www.3mmi.org/v7/archives/news/the-belly-flame): the main work was to merge and order them according to my vision, working the lights, the few colors, and harmonize all my various layers (and even if there are only 3 stocks, there was a lot of layers!) to create the various effects.

> If you like this image, you can also see a lot more details from it on my portfolio at this page /// http://www.3mmi.org/v7/archives/news/the-belly-flame

I will probably post soon a "making of" about this image, if I find the time!
