Body of Angelica Houston, Soul of a poet.

And no, I'm not being fresh!

 

[Liquide]

I cannot draw specific people, I can only do a general human (I am inside the polymorph limitations). But at least I made a try and here I am

 

[Chronosome]

This is me before I shaved my hair off:

I think it's a pretty good likeness of what I looked like then.

Sialia, that's glorious! It makes you look older than you really are, I think, but it's some of the finest and most "painterly" work I've ever seen from you. Wowsa.

What's the medium?

[sheepish] Photoshop[/sheepish]

Yup. I sure would love to be able to paint like that.

I was allowed to borrow a friend's computer for an hour or so and play with a photo from my brother-in-law's wedding. I took out the 8 other people in the shot, the sky, the ocean, and the rocks. So the composition is mine, but I can't take much credit for the detail on the face and hands. Sadly.

And not only am I really that old, I'm four years older than that.

And they were four very very busy years. Many levels, and a prestige class or two.

It's odd to think of having passed beyond "sweet young thing," and even the possibility of "femme fatal" and begun to think comfortably of the role of "grand dame."

Thanks Henry. We ladies who have acuired a certain age need all the compliments we can get. Even if it makes our husbands bristle.

Perhaps especially those kind.

i]Edit - grrr! Won't read the jpg. I wonder why?[/i]

It's probably a CMYK .jpg.

There are two types of color seperation, RGB (which computer screens use, and .jpgs your computer can read must use), and CMYK, which the print process uses.

You can change the color seperation in Photoshop (by selecting Image-->Mode-->RGB), or send it to me and I'll be glad to do it.

it was a nicer way of thinking about things than listing myself as "Archivist Pariah in Exile"
