Kyra

  1. In an effort to get myself back into Painter, this image was cloned (based on Daz's Rosie by Janek) in Painter using a Flat Oil brush and then somewhat manipulated in Photoshop. I picture this is an image of Kyra not too long before leaving Hyneria on Bravo.

  2. Looking at her face I can only imagine how hard it was on the dock for Papa to say goodbye.

  3. Well, sweetest heart, you just made me say a rude word. My gosh, do you even know how amazingly talented you are! The two are too similar for me to spot any differences in the length of time that I studied yours. Gorgeous quite simply, and yes, this is Kyra. Wow!!

  4. Sweetest, don't give me too much credit. Cloning in Painter is not all that hard to do. In essence, you put "tracing paper" over an image and then choose a brush to pick up the underlying color. It is a good way to give a painterly look to photographs. A lot of people use the process on family portraits and with skill, it can produce some outstanding results. What you see here is just a quick and dirty clone. Just trying to jump start my sense of the program again. :-)

  5. Simply stunning!

    Tell me Tree, do you often fall for your characters, or is it just me? :)

  6. Cléa, I think I've fallen for all my female characters. If only they knew the thoughts I've had about them. :-D

  8. Jen, thanks. It is not often I find an image that so clearly resembles a character. I remember the first time I saw Rosie I thought, wrong name. :-D

  9. How about cloning a pic of G-pop or biker boy (or the leaning on hands smile) for me. :-D Whatever you did, you did it perfectly. Nuf said. As lovely as Kyra is through your descriptions, now there is an image to go with it created by you also.
    Happy Wednesday, Poppet, x

  11. Deb, I kinda like her too. :-D

    As always, thanks for the kind words. Seeing my characters helps me imagine who they are and what they are like. Among other things. :-D

  12. I can imagine. I'm pretty much the same with some of my male characters.

  13. every writer has a lover... real or imaginary...

    I too fall for my characters in my poetry....& fall intensely.

    In fact whenever I fall, its always like first love!

  14. I've most definitely fallen for a couple of your characters.

    I like to think the Hood can read my mind as to the thoughts I've had about him.

    When he does, I get chosen from his harem that night.

    :-D
