Description A picture from the honeymoon. Kim and Ron are trying to do the dining and dancing thing again, hopefully this time without any unscheduled adventures. From my story, "Orinoco."

They're all the same story. It probably looks better at my own site, but here and at fanfic you can leave comments if you want.

I'm enjoying your website, just finished "Art Attack" and a "A Stoppable Vacation". Your Kim seems to have a bit of a sadistic streak in her, she's rougher on her opponents than most other fanfic authors have her be. Maybe you're just more realistic.

Yeah, you're right. I should probably fix Rufus.

Okay, the new improved Rufus head is on Ron's shoulder. Apparently I had his eyes too close together, and the top of his head between his eyebrows a bit too high. I gave him a continuous outline, moved his eyes and redrew his eyelids, and made him a little more sleepy looking as this fit his pose.

Thanks for the alert. I'm always glad to fix whatever I can fix.

"I noticed you have the name "YVONNE"...... did I give you that idea?"

Most probably I was thinking of a woman I was interested in in 1979. She had dark brown hair and a nose like an Archaic Greek Kore statue, if anyone. I think I first mentioned Yvonne as Belinda's roommate in "Reward," which I probably wrote before I became aware of your character. I'm thinking Yvonne may be another black woman like Monique, but I'm not sure yet. I had to give her a name when Belinda, Felix, Kim, and Ron started playing musical rooms at Mathom House. And yes, I did borrow the hobbitish word "Mathom" from Tolkien for the dorm, just because it had the right feel.

"Hehe! I like what you did with Ron's freckles man! Oooh oooh! and Kim's eyes! How'd you do her eyes???" β€”Levelord

Multiple layers.
Bottom layer: A lighter than normal big green dot on white for the irises.
Layer 2: A "wagon wheel" in fine blackish green, blurred slightly with gaussian blur.
Layer 3: A small black dot in the center of the "wagon wheel"
Layer 4: A soft white ellipse to about 2 ocklock on the wagon wheel, layer patially transparent
Layer 5: Soft brush black shading, layer very transparent to make light gray.
Kim's skin is the layer on top of all this.

Ron's freckles were on a separate layer, done with one of the "dry stiff brushes," selectively erased till it looked right.

Now you know.

A lot of the look of this pic came from one of the "chalk" brushes, enlarged or shrunk from its right size, and in the case of Kim's hair, selectively smudged

You're developing your own unique style, Cloud. It looks great.

Just one thing... Are Kim's diamond ring and wedding band ring suppose to be on her left ring finger, not her right?

Oh no! I did that again! Right hand, left hand. Which one is showing?

*Cloudmonet, muttering under his breath about his persistant inability to tell right from left, trots back to photoshop to fix it.*

It's a good day for noticing errors. Somebody else noticed pronoun trouble in Kim's wedding vow. Yeah, cleaving to him, not her! I was just fixing that before posting this, and nowβ€”

(chuckle) Welcome to the club, cloud. Don't you just hate it when you find errors after posting? I do. Especially after being told mistakes like difference between AM and PM when someone told me that it's odd for high school to be in open at 11 PM in the evening. Whoops.
