Photoshop iz my bitch...

[secondlina]

I finished coloring the Lina/Gourry couple picture. I've called "Light my Way"
Here is what the print will look like : 



Sorry for the text right smack in the middle, but since I wish to sell this, I need to protect it a bit more. I think it's funny that this picture is the first of a lot of things. It's the first picture I sell through my Lj, it's the first picture I post here on which I have spent more then 3 hours (aaah, yes, the quality of Lj works...) and also it's the first picture I post here that i'm actually protecting.

I'm very proud of it, I love the atmosphere in it a lot and I like how the colors are "incorrect"...There's actually a version of this without all the shadow work... And yet this seemed more powerful to me then the "clear" version where all the colors are correct and the light work took me a zillion hours (the light work is still present on this picture but it's kinda destroyed a bit because of the effects)

I really like Lina's spell hand. It was a bitch to draw, but it turned out well. Gourry is also a bitch to draw. I feel sorry for those who were stuck animating him.

It costs me 1$ to print this, 2$ to laminate it and 2 to 3 $ to send it (need to buy envelops and stamps) so I was thinking of charging between 12 0r 15 dollards for these prints. I'll leave it to you guys to decide what you wish to pay for this picture if it is your desire to aquire it. The format is letter size (8.5 inches by 11) but if you want I can also go legal size (8,5 by 14) or register size (11 by 14) The bigger prints will be a dollars to two dollards more because it's more costy to print and laminate.

If this is a popular thing, I might just draw some more ^^

Oh, if you have slayers loving friends you think might like this, direct them to my Lj. Depending on the response I get, I might do a post of the slayers community ,although I think i'll wait until I have more prints to sell before posting there.

Here's the odd thing though - do I need to get you the money in Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars? I think I should be able to do currency conversion at my bank. I'll ask them about it on Tuesday.

Hmm...which would be better for framing? Matte or glossy? I think I'm going to frame mine, so I'll skip the laminating.

er...
That's a good question!
Well, when I say 15, I meant 15 canadian, which is probably like 14 american (we are kinda close right now). Banks here can convert easily to canadian because they always have american dollards on reserve, I dunno if your can, if it can, it would be helpful. If not, I can do it here without a fee (if they tell you there is a fee, just send it in american: I have no fee)

If you frame behind glass, matte is better.
What size do you want?

I don't think it'll be a problem. I'll go by the bank when it opens on Tuesday and take care of it. :)

I'll go ahead and take the matte then. I'll let you pick the size, if you think the large one will work out fine, then I'll take it. :)
