I split this off from the McT's babble because I know some people read just one or the other and may not want to surf their way through post after post of the McT's if they're just looking for SL babblage. (did you follow that?) So ANYWAY here is a teaser pic for you for the next chapter of Spanish Lullaby. I'm putting it under a spoiler tag in case someone doesn't want to see it. Also, as a side note and just wondering, but does anyone on here speak Spanish pretty fluently? I definitely do not, and I am constantly bugging my friend V for quotes and I don't want to piss her off with texts all the time saying "how do you say..." heh. I would be eternally grateful if there was someone that would be willing to help me with some of the Spanish so that I am not over-taxing her? I never truly intended Carlos to speak it as often as he does, but he keeps coming up with Spanglish haha and I will only trust the internet and google-translator so much before I start to become skeptical. :\ Oh and, for those of you that have been waiting, Carlos' character study will be ready to go up after two more chapters of SL. Should I post it on both, or keep it with the rest of them on the LJ?

Even when he's in trouble in a dark alley, Carlos is lookin' good Unfortunately, my knowledge of Spanish is limited to "taco" and "fajita". Sorry

So should I continue with the Spanish Lessons at the bottom of each post if I use a lot that he does not interpret himself? Just curious how helpful those are or not...

The Spanish lessons at the end are helpful for me. Sometimes I can figure out Spanish by context, because I know a decent amount of Italian and parts of it are similar. Often though, I just have no clue and I need a translation!

Hi everybody! I promised Qui I'd post this, and now that my stupid bad headache has finally kicked the bucket, I'm in a much better mood!! Man, that thing had me down and out for a good five hours. Could have done soooo much tonight if it weren't for that!! I'm posting the pictures under spoilers, but not because it's a spoiler (heh). They are large (LARGE) png's and I know some people can't access them very well. I will post URL's also incase you want to see them separately. Let me know if anyone CAN'T see them, and I'll convert them to jpgs. Okidokie. This is the original picture, as it was taken with Gadwin (<3 Gadwin!!) As you can see, it's a hot mess. We have a relatively fine looking half-naked man sleeping on his bed, under covers that don't exactly cover him and his underwear (yes, sorry Qui, he was not actually naked in the pic! XP ) and his hair is just... maxis hair.. being maxis-like. In which that is flat and boring... and I figure, hey.. when I sleep, my hair goes EVERYWHERE and why shouldn't it do that for guys, too? Also, take note of the covers he is lying ON TOP OF because they were covering his legs that we didn't actually get to see, therefore rendering them useless and I should have just deleted them. But oh well. And like... no shadows, and his arm is going through the pillow... yeah. There's a lot wrong with this picture. Ugh. Okay so here's the finished product; I drew the locks of his hair (and I have this kind of mouse - it's a trackball. Doesn't make for easy drawing... like, at all.) For the covers, I painted over them with the sheets underneath him, and then I took a small picture of his back and pulled it down further to cover the piece of the comforter that was curled. I blended the big gap in with pieces from the other blankets cut out and blurred together. For the arm thing, I just painted a little around his arm and used the shadowing to cover the rest. I got rid of the crazy seams all on his arm and side by just smudging them with the smudge tool (I wiggle it with a tool about the width or a tiny bit wider than the actual seam itself. I think I used a size 9 pixel, then aim it at a part of the seam and "wiggle" it to get it to blur and blend better. I do this all the way up and down the seams until I get what I want.) And.. uh.. yeah! I guess that's about it. It took me about an hour to do all this. I actually still had the game running in case I couldn't do what I wanted with it.
