I think my story writing train went a little off the rails with this one. I admit that I was hurrying for this one. At the Haven it is an honor to finally join the ranks of trading members. You have to make so many posts, then make a cap for someone else. Only then can you request a trading folder of your own. I happened to be on soon after Tami got a folder of her own. So I wanted to whip up a quick cap and be the first to post in her new folder.
Well as you probably know by now, me and quick don't get along. I found this image rather quickly, and wrote the story it whispered to me. The story was long, so I was already taking longer than I wanted. But when I put the image in, I noticed that the water from the image was distorting her left eye in an ugly way. So I figured a quick photoshop fix would work....
But theres that word again... quick. I didn't let the work get in the way and quickly cloned out her right eye and just pasted it over her left. It didn't look horrible, so I finished the layout and posted it.
And ever since I've posted this, I have been just staring at that damned ugly eye! I know I could do a better job if I put my normal effort into it, but I was hurried just so I could be the first to post. I consider it a lesson learned... I don't rush things like this anymore. I try to not work on a deadline unless there is a REAL deadline.
Its fun to break people's trading cherry. Bren and I used to have battles over who would give someone a caption first. I think we've probably taken the maidenhead of at least half of the people in the trading area of the Haven!
ReplyDeleteBest part of that is *I* was the one that took Bren's trading folder virginity! Bwahahaha!
Anyway, I don't think "the eye" is as bad as you think it is. I really wouldn't have paid it much attention unless you had mentioned it.
