The Body

Now came a fun part: The Body

I wanted to do it a bit different then the rest of the Norn, another color technique, making it look really shiny!

I tried many things, many filters and finally found a much to
complicate way to archive something I liked..
I inverted the color, cut out the black (now white) stripes (very difficult!) set them to some transparency, made a new layer out of the selection and colored it blue, setting some layer properties and so on.. and finally got: 

I hope it will look glittering as the Norns will move their bodies. Actually the body turned out a little bit too lilac. I wanted it to be more blue. But I only realise this as I write this text :P
Maybe I'll change it when the rest is finished...
