Updates
20/08/08 - So long live the car crash hearts ...
Look! Another update, I have actually had all of this art ready to update for a while now but haven't managed to write the update until now - it has something to do with the title. I was actually in a pretty scary car crash 3 days ago on a major road going for a day trip with my friends - we were so lucky, we are all ok but aside from a few bumps and bruises but it was the scariest moment of my life. Sorry to dump this on you guys! There were 5 of us in the car - my friend was driving and we hit into the side of another car and spun across two lanes finally hitting into the middle barrier. It was awful, you can imagine why I havn't really been up to updating Reckless Heroes. Anyway, onto the actual update for this site:Site
There's not much new site-wise, I am working on putting some more stock images together which should (hopefully) be ready for the next UD. I also did some minor tinkering with the 'Site' section, mainly the awards pages and about me. I also added a few DVD's and the past layouts.New Art
So I have 7 pieces to add to the site - 5 Twilight, 1 The Host (Stephenie Meyer) and 1 Supernatural.We Are All Just Scars In The Making I really love this wallpaper of the boys of Supernatural. The image is a newly released season 1 promo and is just gorgeous. The majority of the credit for this wallpaper goes to Galathea for the beautiful light texture.
Handle Me With Care I am happy with most of this, it just seems a little off to me. I struggled with the eyes, instead of them looking like mirrors they just looked glazed over. I chose Natalie Portman as Melanie/Wanderer, although I don't really like her as an actress I thought that she looked a lot like my idea of Melanie.
Battles Have Begun I don't really know why I put this wall on the site, I really liked the image but struggled to colour it and add textures. I also had problems finding lyrics for it. It turned out ok in the end but I don't love it.
I Know What You Are The trailer for Twilight has got my dying to see the film. At first (after only seeing the teaser) I wasn't to sure about the movie but now I think (or hope) it's going to be amazing. Anyway I loved the look on Robert's face in this scene of the trailer and just had to art it. I am really fond of how it turned out.
I Need You So Much Closer This image is actually from the Twilight calender and was quite grainy to start with. I decided to add to that and make it look old fashioned. I like the finished piece but again struggled finding lyrics to put on it since it's so hard to sum up all of the emotions on their faces in a few lines. I ended up with lyrics from Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism.
In The Blink Of An Eye This piece just sums up the Cullens' feelings that the world is moving around them and they are not getting any older. I think that the lyrics fit it really well and am really happy with the textures in the piece. The only thing that I would change is the colouring so that the whole piece is lighter, except is doesn't really look good whenever I do it lol!
You Are My Only One The last wallpaper of this update. I did this at like midnight on my new laptop so it ended up really dark. When I viewed it in daylight you could barely see anything. I tried lightening it but could only get it this light before it looked silly. I like the composition; this image is so beautiful.
