Illyria Wallpaper (again)

[bogwitch]

To cheer myself up I finished a wallpaper

I like it - I put it on my desktop and it works really well. Although it does freak me out a bit. Which I suppose is the point?

And the font is excellent. Very her.

[bogwitch]

You should have seen it with eye highlights. Brrr.

I like it very, very much. Think the font works, I like the idea of the shadows. The lighter tones look like light falling, whereas the darker ones look a bit more like a paint brush. Do you think?
I like her eyes too.

Thanks, I just thought the dark might be a little overpowering, but if I lighten it the gradient underneath becomes really powerful and you lose the shadowy effect.

I try to make things striking, this is more subtle and I'm not sure.

Look! Goldfrapp icon!

[lillianmorgan]

I like the distinction between shadow and light though.
::absolutely adores Goldfrapp icon::
I think she's/they're playing Norwich after I leave, which is a bummer.

[bogwitch]

That's very annoying. I've lost track of who's playing where now i stopped reading the NME.

You can share the icon if you like (I'm not exactly sure what to do with it).

It looks better in place as a wallpaper than as a picture, somehow. Very nice, in a scary sort of way. It has replaced my picture of Captain Jack in a vest flexing his muscles, which is quite a relief really. ;)

[bogwitch]

That is an honour - doubt it'll last though. ;)

[sanda56]

Alas, you know me too well! ;)

[bogwitch]

I can't compete with the lure of Captain Jack...

[gamiila]

The font's fine. It's the stare that creeps me out (but then, I'm a wimp).

[bogwitch]

I toned it down too!

[desoto_hia873]

Creepy! I like it.

[bogwitch]

Thanks. You wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley, would you?
