Heartache 101 ~Sour into Sweet~

I would prefer to make the alterations on the PSD (make a copy of the layer just for back-up purposes and all that) rather than do them on Dozen's PNGs. I'll have to look really hard to see if I can't detect what he did to the eyebrows.

N.B.: eyeLASHES, not eyebrows. Just so you don't suffer the same headache I did, it's specifically in the "Unfriendly" tachie (which appears to be using the "Closed2" layer for the eyes), on her right eye. The issue is that in your version, the lash color is bleeding over above and below where it should be.

I read the scene with Masako, though that was the original version, and it might have been updated since then. Anyway, yeah, she'd bring out the logic and the evidence backed up by competent, authoritative proof. Though, she would not be particularly happy with Iwao bringing the emotional friction he has with Noriko into play.

I don't think this scene has changed much during that time, at least not w/r/t Masako's appearance. I will add in a line with Masako glaring daggers at Iwao on her way to the podium.

Given Iwao's current characterization, the way I see this having gone is that, given that she's a transfer student, and that Iwao is not the type with which she'd socialize, she's only seen him in the debate room to this point. Since he's had no reason not to be confident in this setting before, she's not seen this side of him until now, and it's established by now that he knows his stuff, debate-wise (there's a fairly new scene where it's stated that Iwao is the one who taught Noriko the ins and outs of logical argument).

Sometimes I wonder if I think too much about this sort of thing, but when I write a character, I'm going to write it well, no matter the medium. In order to do that you really must think about these things. Dozen really helped there, too, reminding me of what this character was supposed to be when I started the process.

...and now I'm rambling :) .

Let's test the waters of this particular attempt with the "neutral" pose:



If this is okay, I've got all the other tachie ready. Except for the "unfriendly one", since that was the one was pointed out to me as an issue. I'm not quite seeing the difference yet, but maybe I'm just being stubborn?

Also, as I never even touched the unfriendly pose, I have absolutely no idea what you two are talking about.

Oh. Okay then. Thought I had it, because the issue that I saw was not in your tachie. So, then, the eyelashes of the right eye in the unfriendly pose ALSO need fixing in addition to...whatever you did before :-/ .

author=Marrend
Why the heck would you say there was a fix when there wasn't one?

This might be...well, half my fault. I was going through your tachie and Dozen's tachie looking for whatever fix he said he made to the eyelashes. The only substantive difference I saw is the one I mentioned above (color bleeding over onto the right eyelid of the Unfriendly tachie). I don't think Dozen ever confirmed or denied that was what he fixed, specifically. I just assumed since he never denied it that it was, and now he says it's not. Gah.

You know, I think I agree. This whole tachie issue is giving me headaches again staring at tiny differences. I don't even know which version to use any more, much less which is the most recent. I think it's even starting to encroach on my ability to be creative O_o. Let's just use what we've got, and I'll put on the finishing touches, and call it done, mm'kay?

Agreed.

What do you have to do with this conversation?

Guh, on second thought, who cares. Everyone gets a hug. You too, LorSquirrel.

*hugs*

*looks to my avatar*

Hmmm. *nods* Will try and think more seriously about hugging.

Is Dozen's post supposed to be empty? No, it isn't.

Weird.

My suggestion: Upload the image into your locker. Afterwards, click on the paper clip icon to get a copy of the URL. Then, make a post, and wrap that URL around "img" tags.

Note: You don't need the extra "url" tags. The code tag adds them automatically.
