River
Wednesday, February 7, 2007

Ok, so I really struggled to find the right pictures and given ample time (and screencaps) I could probably come up with several more wallpapers that all describe a different aspect of River - she has so many...dimensions? as a character, there is just so many characteristics its hard to pick just one that "defines" River. I could tell you my interpretation, but I'd rather hear yours ;)- Anyway, let me know what you think! No Text Version can be posted if desired, just let me know!

O.O Whoah..

Artistic analysis: You've got a good eye for picking images. I like how you've chosen one shot from the start of the series and one from 'Objects In Space'. It shows how much River has progressed on the show.

I love the middle section with Serenity almost looking like it's part of the wall. I love how River's name is aligned with the cargo bay section - where she was first introduced to the crew.

The whole thing also shows how she's made Serenity her home.

I really like this series of wallpapers Nidrian. Keep up the great work!

I definitely have to agree with CosmicFugitive about the mixing of imagery from "Serenity" and "Objects in Space" to track River's development as an individual throughout the series!

However, I also gotta make note of how River is reacting to her surroundings in each shot. The shot of River in the infirmary from "Serenity" seems to show River resting her head against a wall or something (though it's probably just how the image was cropped;D) while the shot from "Objects in Space" has her only touching the walls with her hand (and deck with her feet). There's a sense of development of reduced need for tactile contact with Serenity to help River find a stabilizing fator...a concept of less touch being needed to allow her to find a state of being between complete lucidity (which would be just as craptacular as complete insanity for River at that moment) and complete insanity where she can function;D

Then again...that's just me;)

Out of Gas Mal - SMALL
OK so I fixed the size on this. I didn't realize it was soooo massive....anyway same commentary cut and pasted from the massive version: Wow, it has been a super long time since I have posted anything! I have been really busy with my classes and stuck in a creative funk which pretty much sucks. I have decided to try to teach myself how to draw - I'm using the middle school art class tactic of square-by-square which is a sort of cross between freehand and copying. At least thats how I see it. Anywho, this is my first attempt - the mouth is a little weird, the eyes aren't exactly the way I thought they should be and my scanner didn't pick up all the nuances of the shading but, eh, what can ya do? Not too shabby for a first go of it. Comments are like candy. I can never get enough!

River - Bushwhacked (Blue)
Second version with similar uncreative title. Comments are great, as always.


River - Bushwhacked (Red)
Very uncreative title, I know. I kinda struggled with what to do with this one...I started with the background but it needed something more - I came up with two versions, the second of which will be posted shortly. Anyway, comments are awesome and I always love hearing what everyone thinks! =D


Melted III
Third and final color scheme. No text version available upon request.


Melted II
Second color scheme. No text version available upon request.

So, I have been having kind of a rough day (don't worry, I won't prattle on about the details, suffice to say a close friend is in the hospital) and as always, photoshop becomes my therapy to get my mind off of things for a little while- I had about three different color schemes for this and I think this is probably the best. If anyone would like for me to post the other two different color schemes, just ask and no-text version is available upon request.


Broken - No Text
For anyone who likes no text better.
:)

Ok so the text I came up with myself and boy was it tricky. I wrote two verses and I wasn't happy with the lines but then just as a goof thought I alternated first and second verse lines and I think its rather schnazzy now. Overall, I am very very pleased with how this turned out, especially with the images of Inara - The image of Mal gave me one hell of a time, but I think it turned out ok. No text version can be posted if desired, just let me know. Anyway, comments are always awesome.


River III
Third River wallpaper that I've done, kinda sorta happy with how it turned out, I'm still deciding. The more I look at it, the more I like it, but I'm not sure it's 100% as great as it could be. Anyway, comments, as always, are great.
