Absolution

Still from the scene in the BDM right after Haven is destroyed. Any other suggestions on text are welcome - I knew what I wanted the feel of it to be, but I struggled a little with the text.

I love the stuff you've been uploading. You're obviously quite talented.
One minor point, though, it's generally considered somewhat bad form to flood the BSR with more than 1 item a day.

I love this ... and I have to say that as I've noticed a lot of people uploading more than one item a day, I can't see how it's bad form! Keep up the brilliant work!

Beautiful still. I agree the text isn't quite there. I'm thinking that instead of questions, Mal might be more of a statement kind of guy... e.g. "No absolution. No forgiveness. No God. What have I done?"
In BDM, Mal looks at Book and says "It should have been me." The question of 'what have i done' seems to take ownership of the situation more than the others.
If you pm me some of your other ideas for words, I'll play a little more. But overall, I think you've captured a very nice emotion!
As for flooding, I'm far more guilty of it than you are and since no one can clock the actual influx of items into blue sun, there's no given rate on what constitutes a flood. Don't take it personally. But some advice: the image thumbnails only appear once, so be careful you don't flood yourself out of the list ;)

Whoops. I guess I didn't really think about flooding the BSR. I was just really on a roll last night so I just kept submitting stuff. :P Anyway, I'll probably slow down on submissions for awhile, I'm using up alot of my ideas!
And thanks for the text ideas valeriebean, I'll probably post an alternate at some point with that text. THANKS!

Yeah, I can see the text for this one is hard. Since Mal ain't looking for help from on high, he might not look too hard to a God for absolution, either. Mal's question, way I see it, might be more along the lines of: "Can I find piece with myself for what I've done?" Like your second question.
Ultimately, you're the artist, of course, and it's entirely up to you to portray Mal's religious beliefs in any way you see fit -- especially since none of us really knows exactly whether Mal just doesn't believe in God any more, or is just too disappointed in Him to ever set himself up for a fall by believing in Him ever again.

Love this, especially how you have married the image of Mal to the emotion. Ali D :~)

Brilliant stuff, Nidrian! Definitely a perfect screen shot...though the words are a tad bit hinky;)
And flooding? If the rule of thumb is supposed to be 1 upload per day to avoid dumping a lot of people off the submissions list, then there are more than one violator of that rule around these parts. I think that it's all dependendt on how busy the BSR is on a given day. Slow day means a bit more leeway since you're keeping the average turnaround time generally constant. Fast day? That's where a probelm arises;)
