I'm resubmitting this pic because the first time I submitted it, it appeared less than half the correct size and i couldn't fix it. The original submission is here: [link]

Painted in photoshop.

I used Photoshop with a mouse, the main tool being the airbrush, usually set at a very low intensity (around 10%). I have the source picture and the one I'm working on open at the same time and side-by-side in the application. A grid is overlaid on the source picture and the one I'm working on which means I can refer to the grid lines when painting.

The source photograph is not my own, It is a screen grab from one of the Matrix movies.

This picture took several hours to create.
