  • Tyknos93 November 23rd, 2012 7:32 PM

    I was trying to figure out how they got the images to look that way because I see this trick on alot of older photos, but it’s painted!? With watercolors? I wanna try.

  • chloegrey November 25th, 2012 2:52 PM

    SO AMAZING HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DO THIS IT MUST BE MAGIC
    and yes DreamBoat I was thinking ‘why does this remind me of Hugo is it just because I have French music playing’ and then I saw that comment and I was like ‘it’s Melies ALL THE WAY’ though I don’t know how to make those fancy accent marks on the computer!

  • Shae November 25th, 2012 6:37 PM

    Awwww you all truly made me smile, I am so glad some readers enjoyed my painted images! I was really excited Rookie included them on their website.

    Thanks for all the lovely comments.

    Also – the clothes from The Loved One are so gorgeous it’s actually unreal.

  • Jenn November 27th, 2012 6:56 PM

    Beautiful photos, stunning model! My only complaint is that there’s not even more eye candy (‘:

  • Elara December 10th, 2012 6:07 PM

    This is pretty cool!!

  • Cutesycreator aka Monica February 3rd, 2013 1:13 PM

    I can’t describe in words how much I love this/how perfect/wonderful/amazing/PERFECT this is. I looked at Shae Acopian Detar’s website and, surprise surprise, every picture there is perfect, too! As are the gorgeous clothes from The Loved One.

    PS – Did I mention PERFECT??? ♥_♥
