Description This is up so ~FinalxAurora can have a look at it. This isn't near done, but I thought I'd let you see what you thought. Please redirect me if you want something different or would like to tweak this one. I had one other image in mind that I haven't quite figured out how to do, but it's much more modern--let me know if you'd be interested in that instead.

I know it's not a black background, but I've feathered it so hopefully the edges will blend in. Also, it's not perfectly black-and-white; I left a little pale color in there. Let me know if you want me to take it out altogether.

It's 490 x 325. I liked those proportions a little better than 400 x 325, but if you think otherwise, I can resize.

Not happy with those flowers right there--I'll keep working on those.

If you like it--
-I'll put a color wash over it, pale green or purple as you mentioned. Do you happen to have the hex codes for the colors you're using--how are they coded in on the webpage?
-I'll add the lyrics. I was thinking just a line or two--"Why do we do this to ourselves?" and maybe "So we dance the night away" somewhere above it. Would you like me to add more? I didn't want to cramp things too much.
-I'll pick a cool font. Suggestions welcome--do you want a fancy one, a scary one?

Thanks to all the great folks in #ManipulatedReality for their patience.

Stock credits so far - I'll notify and secure approval from all of them when this is done, but not yet:
's Ball Room
's Lilium - 691
's Lady with gun 4

EDIT 7/15:
-Flowers tweaked.
-Text added. I had no problem finding it, and nice choice! I'll probably keep it around. (I have a friend who plays NWN so it looked familiar. )
-I started working on a color wash. A really rough preliminary can be found here: [link]

XD no i didn't see that before. Thank you for pointing that out. I commented it ^^

I'll wait however long you need. I'm very very impressed so far.

looking good so far. I'd like the black lettering to have a more purple shine, as if like, for lack of a better explaination, as though it was purple patent leather (ie, it looks black, but its just really dark purple, and it shines purple in light) o.O bad explaination, i know, but I couldn't think of another way to say it.

That being said, I love the picture itself, but I'm looking for just a bit more color

colors I'd enjoy you work with would be: Silver, purple, green, and orange ^^

helpful?

btw its looking absolutely beautiful and i love it

I know just what you mean about the lettering--I worked on that today, and I couldn't quite get the effect right so I'm still working.

Yes, quite helpful! btw, did you see the version with the color wash? It's linked at the bottom of the artist comments.

hey, sorry it took a long time to get you a reply. I've been on vacation, and I'm a very patient person. I love it so far, though I would like the flowers paled out just a slight bit more. I'm not entirely sure of the hex codes, but I love it thus far, and I'm insanely crazy about the pale colorness. Its very well done. I'm impressed

I'd like Neverwinter for the font, and I have where you can download it if you don't have it already ^w^

I'll look into the color codes though, and I'm very thankful that you've gone out of your way to do this for me. A colorwash would be spectacular but I still kinda like it as is so it might not even be needed ^^

It's a good thing you're such a patient person--it's taken me forever to get this done! I'm so glad you like it thus far.

Made a couple changes as noted in the comments--let me know what you think.
