Cover art by tinnny: for 'Counterpoint' by nestra (Harlequin challenge)

[tinny]

Who knew I'd have to join this community once... :)))

I hadn't really planned it, but then the muse struck me and I just had to make a cover for Nestra's story 'Counterpoint'.








The original is by Renoir, and you can see it here:

I hope I did the post right - tell me if I forgot anything.

I love it! We have a print of that painting in our living room so I'm now going to think of this version daily. :D

[tinny]

Hee, you're fast! Thanks a lot!

[ruggerdavey.livejournal.com]

Heh. Ditto.

Hee! I love Rodney, but John still looks like his head is on a girl's body. Which makes me giggle!

[tinny]

//) Yes, I know. Especially the hands! :/

I did remove the boobs, though. ;)

I was afraid it would look much worse if I'd fiddle with the hands and try to replace the dress shirt, so I just left it as it was.

I hoped it wouldn't matter, since it's "Harlequin" anyway. :)

Hee! That's cute. Thank you!

I really *have* done better than this before...

But I'm glad you don't totally hate it, at least. :) I'm hoping for the Harlequin "style is not important" bonus. ;)

Oh my god, this is fantastic. :D

[tinny]

Is there a manip-equivalent for crack!fic? ;)

[tinny]

Thank you! It's harlequin-crack-pretty. :)

Glad you like it!

Ooooh -- this is very, very good!!

[tinny]

Thank you! :))))

I actually don't like all of it - there are places I really should have done different (=better), but it already took me over three hours to make, so I eventually didn't want to start over again.

And I didn't know if the challenge would go on much longer, so I decided to just post it. :)

But I do like the kitschy feel of it. It matches the challenge. :)
