Artwork for The Ship That Lost Its Soul by amberdreams for sammybigbang

I couldn't in the end decide which of the three versions I preferred. All three started with the image of Sam, and then I layered on images of the ship, the circuit board and a couple of galaxy brushes and played around until I got an effect that I liked. As always, I started out with an idea in mind but then let my experimentation lead me to something that came out right. Any excuse to get lost in Photoshop is always welcome, and I have to say a very big 'thank you' to Amberdreams for providing a story that inspired me so much :)

i still don't know which of these I like the best... In some ways I'm now angling towards the middle one because I love how the lines of the circuits flow out of Sam's torso, it's so clever! Thank you again for choosing my fic, you did such a lovely job!
