The Dancer
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Ok. First one of these in about a year. I got stuck on that line of River's in the Tam Sessions. "Would I still be allowed to dance?" And the piece came from that.

As to details, I thought the pick just looked best on some kind of view screen and I love the shape of the screen on Serenity. The screen was taken from a sceen in the movie so the writing on it has nothing to do with the pictures. the details and quality are not quite up to what's in my head but that's because I still haven't bought a photoshop program. Still just Picture It!

Extremely shiny work! It excels in originality and execution. And the resourcefulness with which you handled the inherently grainy stuff from the River Tam sessions is really downright brilliant: instead of trying to mask it, you actually use it. :) You're a true artist, and your presence in the BSR remains a true privilege and boon to us all!

That's fantastic! The only concrit I'd have would be that I'd like it a bit more if the text was like TV-static-y & in the screen above her head or something. But no matter, cuz this ROCKS!!

Actually, I have issues with the text as well. I just couldn't quite get it right. That's a decent suggestion. I'll give it a try.

Well, I like it plenty "as is". :) Sure, you could remove the chinese text above the image, and then just do a gray/blue text inside the screen (bottom). Actually, going for cute, you could even go to Babelfish and translate that text into Chinese. :) There's all sorts of possibilities, of course. But the main concept remains perfect the way you did it. It's still the best use of a River Tam Sessions image I've ever seen. Highly artistic, too.

Hey, I actually just noticed now how those two poses, one fighting, one dancing, are very similar. :) You have an excellent eye for these things!

Sorry for the many comments, Kayna; but it seems you had already prepared a gray bar at the bottom of the TV sceen; were you initially planning on putting that blue text on that? I can see how you did not do that, for symmetry reasons (both blue texts are now outside of the TV screen). But if you removed the blue chinese text on top, and put the other blue text inside the screen (on that gray bar thingy; and perhaps a point or so smaller), there would not be a problem with symmetry, I think.
Ennyhows, it's really a grand work already in its current incarnation. I loved it the first time, and am by no means done loving it yet. :)

Oh right, no, hat doesn't work here. :) Still, beautiful and lovely River piece. Please, do more!

Hey Asarian, I know this is years late to reply but I'm glad you caught the similarity of poses between the two shots. That was indeed deliberate. I hope to be able to get some new stuff up here eventually. I still don't have photoshop though and Gimp is rather inscrutable.
