today's portrait practice, this time with firefly's Inara, played by Morena Baccarin. I really like how this one turned out, even if not spot on. I've had a hard time doing the variations of 3/4 profile portraits for the longest time, so this is an enjoyable success.
1hr 15 min or so, colored pencil on large grocery bag. Decided not to fill in the bulk of her hair - one because I like it, and the other being the reference picture was very low on detail in that regard.
This is the first attempt to create some portraits for practice, of the characters on a favorite (gone) show of mine "Firefly". The actress is Jewel Staite, playing "Kaylee", ship's mechanic and unofficial cheerful person.
1 1/2 hours on a common paper bag with colored pencils this morning. Didn't quite nail it, but got happily close. Here's the reference photo.
it tooks more than half an hour, waiting for one of these to cross the range of the camera. timing was done with B mode.
Fireflies are considered a good luck charm in my culture XD So whenever i see one i run off to take a photo XD
once i saw a really big one O_O and instead of getting goosebumps as usual (from flying bugs) I just grinned and wished it'd come closer XD (it was really really big! i think it wouldn't fit into my hand if it decided to land there ; ; )
I'm taking a short break from uploading my final photos of Tajikistan to show you this shot of a firefly that landed on my finger at a great concert put on by the Decemberists at the Merriweather Post Pavilion.
A very close up photo using hoya filter. You can see the details of its eyes.
I personaly doesn't think this is a great photo, but I liked the colour.
Firefly radios from his location, contented by the sound of chaos that echoes through the sky around him.
Firefly: Slice, 'Phase 1' has commenced. Are you and Dice in position?
Firefly's radio offers a static-filled affirmative from Slice.
Firefly: I am moving into position for the final Phase. Slice? Don't screw this up.
Firefly releases the call button and the radio goes silent.
I have not seen fireflies in Metro Taipei for a long time. Tucheng area may be the most famous and nearby spot of watching them. But we were not that lucky today. Fireflies were quite little this evening. They might not want to show up because of the afternoon shower. Hope we will be lucky this weekend.
