Ok, I wanna talk a bit more about my latest work, at:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=19408

First all of all, I want to thank everyone who commented so nicely! :) It means a great deal to me.

Here's how it is. As I was saying in the Extended Commentary in the BSR, I had to reconstruct a River figurine from several parts. I did, however, not succeed in finding a proper right foot. As a result, I had to leave her feet off. That is, in and by itself, not a big deal (though Joss, no doubt, would beg to differ): after all, this is art, and it don't matter none that you show a person just partly. What DOES matter, however, and which kept bugging me, that, in order to connect the River figurine to the 'key' shadow, I had to place her nearly on top of that shadow. Which is itself fine, except that now she seems lowered on the Z-axis, as it were: effectively standing, uhm, yeah, a foot or so below the surface (you can see that on the left panel of the image I posted here below). Peeps were decent enough not to mention it. But since I consider this work one of my best, I swang back to the belief that I could do better. :)

Eventually, I found a foot I could use. See the middle, square image. I had to rescale it, of course, and proper colorize it to fit the rest. But now River is functioning again like she's a girl. :) I also cleaned up some minute blending errors, and made her front left leg a bit crisper; but that was minor stuff.

You can also see the repaired image, in full, at:

Thanks for reading.



P.S. Since someone asked, the background still from the BDM is an enlarged outtake of one of the blurry frames of Dr. Mathias' lab, at time index 00:41:55 in the movie. So it actually IS the room they put them in, with a psychic:
