Spirit Of The Forest

“Spirit Of The Forest” is the name of a song by Korpiklaani.

It’s also the name of an album by the same artist.

And the name of an attempt I made with Photoshop.

I call it Photoshop but it was actually Paint.NET, one of the free alternatives to PS.

I know, the original is better, but my laptop doesn’t handle ‘better’, nor my wallet.

I wanted to make something about the song, but I have no skills, so I decided to play with a photo editing program. And that was the outcome.

I had to change my first draft because I was advised to go for something easier.

Easier, but flawed anyway.

The sky is really nice! It was the easiest thing to do. So easy I forgot how I did it.

The trees are very poor instead. I did what I could.

I’ll improve, or never use trees again.

Talking of trees, did you know you can help planting trees by playing a trivia quiz HERE?

The song mentions an old white wolf, but there’s no old white wolf in the picture.

There’s a Samoyed, of course.

Feel free to share your opinions, or suggestions, but keep in mind I’m touchy.

    • Thank you! ? Yes, folk metal is a very innovative genre. I like both metal and world/folklore music, and Korpiklaani blend the two together very well. ?

    • Aww! ? I’m glad you see a moon, at least.
      I thought it was too big and pale to look like a moon. ?
      I’m really happy to know you liked their music. I never get tired of listening to metal because it comes with so many sub-genres, from the classic heavy to the peculiar folk(lore) Korpiklaani plays. ?

    • Thanks! ? I tend to edit photos quite often, just for the sake of doing so, or for decreasing their size (to take less time to upload), even those I take from the internet. I guess the same can be done with some online services.

  2. You did very well indeed. At least this is my opinion. Of course I have no idea how to use any of the software you mentionned and the only editing that I do is with the good old Microsoft Word. Everything is lovely in that picture, especially the sky and even the trees and that lonely samoyed.

    • Microsoft Word has some complex features, it takes skills, experience and knowledge like any other program. ?
      Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the little good of my ‘work’! ?
