 Another Eroica pic, also copped from Seven Days in September. This one gave me trouble, since I didn't know what colours the walls were. The colour scheme is probably really whacked in tis one, and I would really appreciate thoughts on the colour of the wall.

Dark gray, 'cos it's stone.

I like the green of the bottle!

[jade_glow]

Yes, but Klaus is also wearing colours in the same spectrum. So if I make the stone dark grey, the picture will look one tone all over.

[napthia9]

Noted. Klaus is wearing lighter shades though (white shirt, light gray/khaki pants), so he'll probably still pop out. You could always try varying shades of gray on different stones too. Maybe that would give the wall more texture?

[foxypope]

Yeah, the walls would be dark grey. Hehe, I love that scene. Although I was surprised that Dorian didn't like that the wine tasted of Klaus' thighs...

[norwayblue_eyes]

Hi, foxypope.
Yeah, I thought the same at first.

He needed a sort of mood enhancer and wanted to enjoy the wine in a graceful mood to alter the earlier depressing feeling.
Klaus's crude way to treat the wine(bottle) ruined the mood Dorian supporsed to get into.

I think that is the author's designs.

[foxypope]

I thought it was because it warmed the wine. I wouldn't know, but aren't you supposed to drink it chilled? Klaus warmed the wine by putting it in-between his legs, so it tasted gross afterwards.

[norwayblue_eyes]

Ah, I think you are also right.

What I thought came from the line.

the Earl's line ---
"Ah. This is more like it. Care for a glass?"

In the Japanese original it is something like this;
"This at least could make us graceful now. Care for a glass?"

Oh, and I just noticed--their shadows are too big on the walls. It has the effect of looking like they're standing in front of a flat cardboard wall with a nun painted on it. XD The picture itself is in certain perspective, where Klaus and Dorian are nearest and the nun, the door and the walls are farthest, so their shadows projected on the walls should be smaller.

[norwayblue_eyes]

Perhaps, painting the wall and the background around the nun would create some depth in the illustration.

[foxypope]

That actually may be a part of it, eh?

[jade_glow]

The nun is dressed in black and white (unless nuns dress in other colours; I'm fuzzy about religion)so I just shaded it in with grey and turned the opacity down. You're right about the shadows. XD I'll have to fix that.

You could go with a warm sandstone color for the walls, to add contrast. Also- you forgot to color the cork. Otherwise, gorgeous. I'm really loving these.
Oh, curses, I've lost my password.
