School assignment #11

Another school assignment. Had I been allowed to use PaintShop Pro instead of Photoshop, it would look WAY better. I'm still learning the latter, so...

It's sharpish looking because I had to make it suitable for printing on heavy stock paper for the assignment.

My grateful thanks to the stock providers who made this possible:

*liam-stock for the woman,
~archaeopteryx-stocks for the tree,
*peroni68 for a crow,
*Momotte2stocks for the other crow,
~VaybsStocks for the rocks,
=zememz for the lantern, and
`cloaks for the grunge texture.

Thanks also to Edgar Alan Poe, whose poetry inspired the picture and made me wonder out loud to some of my fellow students, "Do you think Edgar Alan Poe was ever called Edgar Alan Poet by his friends?" To which one wit retorted that she doubted someone as gloomy as Mr. Poe(t) had any friends.
