The transformation challenge - Evolving heart

What programs or tools did you use?
Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Lasso and brush) + Bamboo Wacom CTH-460

Where did you find your inspiration for your entry?
A friend sent me the contest link and right after reading the contest information I couldn't help but think about these last years and how my heart evolved so drastically. I had some awesome friends, or they were supposed to be. But giving all to them seemed wasn't enough for them, so slowly and slowly I was feeling alone. During that time, some other people entered my life and slowly they became my new friends. And not "just" friends, I noticed they are true friends who care about me, who are willing to help me no matter what. I love them so much, and I wouldn't change my past, because it's what let me meet those awesome friends I have now.

To evolve is not only a physical change, also heart can evolve.

How long did it take to complete?
About 12 hours


All the characters used in my entry have been created by me for my friends, and every single one of them represents one of them.
