Wallpapers

[out_there]

Okay, on Monday, I made a Dan/Casey wallpaper for celli. It turned out too dark (I've since learned that pictures look brighter/higher contrast when I'm working on them in PhotoshopCS, so I need to factor that in). I've played with a few different effects on the texture layers and came up with four different lighter versions.

The original:


Version 1:


Version 2:


Version 3:


Version 4:


So, which do you prefer as a wallpaper? Which do you prefer just as a graphic? Is there a difference between the two, and if so, what do you look for in a wallpaper vs. a manip?

I like #4. If you and Celli are getting married, can I be a bridesmaid? I'll even wear the frock Anya made Buffy wear.

Hee! Yep, you can. Probably you and oxoniensis and shellah...

Heh. It could be the first all-fen wedding party!

Sadly, not the first - I went to a wonderful wedding some 15 years ago, which, amongst other things, featured the bride walking down the aisle to the original BG theme music. Specially transcribed and played by the local silver band, bless (they were lovely, and reprised the performance at a convention she ran a few years later). And they're still married!

But she didn't have Anya's bridesmaids' dresses.

Oh, that's a rather delightful tale. I'm perfectly happy not to be the first.

Hee. True. Do you actually have an Anya's bridesmaid dress, or are you just willing to wear that monstrousity one?

Meanwhile, I've decided I'll and in the essay on Friday (and screw 'em if they take marks off. It'll be a maximum of 10% per day, which means that since this in only worth 15%, I'll have lost like 3 marks in the overall thingy. I doubt that'll make the pass/fail difference.), I'm going to play with Danny-with-a-gun now.

And then i'll pout a little since I posted a wip and no one commented. I'm indulging my inner attention-grabbing three year old.

No, but I can see myself in that shade of green. I have quite sallow skin, so I'd basically look like an upright pool of vomit.

As long as you do get the essay done!

Is that 'Therapy'? I'm saving it for after I have my bath as an incentive to stop playing pooter games (all the pooter Mah Jonggs are too confusing for me - the screens are so small, all the tiles look the same), get off my lazy bum and get on with something, as it's nearly lunchtime!

I keep stuffing around, but when i did sit down this afternoon, I got quite a bit done. In fact, I'll force myself to read through and highlight the remaining 7 pages of articles I have to read. Then, it's just shoving it together, referencing the right bits and handing it in inside a pretty cover.

Yeah, I'm all... I'm kinda happy with it, because instead of studying I wrote some more today. And, suddenly, I have a scene where Dan and his dad *talk* (which I also "workshopped" at creative writing today and they *loved* it, so yay!) and where Casey shows some relationship angst. I mean, I'm not absolutely positive of the order they'll appear in during the next session, and I'm still not quite sure of how it's going to be a happy Casey/Dan ending, but it's coming together! There's actually plot! Themes, even!

Yeah, I'm still ridiculous happy that everyone loved it.
