Illya Dreaming

tinturtleI find myself enjoying this photo manipulation tonight. It is the last MFU manip I ever made (and the only one I made outside of the intense depressive episode during which I created the others). I never did get around to posting it on AO3, partly because I liked having my farewell to Robert Vaughn as the last item in that album. I did post it on DeviantArt, though. Here's the copy I wrote at that time:
"In dreams, impressions and memories run together to create new worlds that are nevertheless familiar. Illya is dreaming of his childhood as seen through that kaleidoscope."
(For a better fit to your window, try clicking on the image.)
Based on a screencap from The Foxes and Hounds Affair.
Foreground from the Soviet animated film Winnie-the-Pooh and a Busy Day (1972), which is the last in a series begun in 1969.
Background combines detail from a 1941 Soviet propaganda poster with a stock image of the night sky.
Created January and May, 2017.
Some of the photo manipulations I made during 2016 impress me quite favorably now. I made some new manips earlier this month for the Professionals seasonal card exchange, and I found that I had forgotten many of the techniques I learned then. I also found that I did not have the seemingly infinite patience that I had during that spurt of single-minded productivity. (Not that I didn't spend hours on each of the Pros manips during which I could have been making a start on Moby Dick.)
