Description A quick, quick sketch of River Tam from a photo still of the movie Serenity. It's my absolute favourite shot from both the movie and the series combined. I love the overexposed quality. Shadows make me a happy, happy girl.

Now I just need to find a shot of Jayne in his knitted cap and I'll be an even happier girl.


Scanner picked up some graininess and a little glare to the top upper right... still reasonably happy with it though. ^_^

I've yet to watch the movie, but I love how this came out. I think you're right, the overexposed glare really brings all her character and emotion into her face, and you captured that really well. Awesome job. <3

ScribalWriter In reply to austheke [2009-08-27 00:32:03 +0000 UTC]

It comes right after a kick-ass fight scene too. The whole movie is brilliant... well, except that two of the characters from the series die. I'm still upset about that. One more than the other.

The lines in the movie are as spectacular as those in the series. Really wonderful storyline too. You definitely should give it a watch.

Thank you once again!!! ^_^

SHHH NO SPOILERS

I will! Maybe after I'm settled into school. I have it sneakily downloaded onto my computer. XD But I'll buy it after I've watched it (and after I have enough money). Yay for Firefly~

That's why I kept it vague. ^_^

Heh, you'll definitely want to buy it after viewing it. Even if it's just to view the blooper reel. Love it sooo much!

This looks great! You've captured her really well -hugeFireflyfan- The shadows of her hair on her face are amazing... it looks really good for a quick sketch. I particularly like her lips.

Gotta love Jayne's hat

ScribalWriter In reply to CandaceBerger [2009-04-22 00:39:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm a huge fan as well - of well... anything Whedon. Her lips and her eyes were particularly fun to draw.

Jayne's hat is great. I think he might even be wearing it in the movie - but you only see it for a second and it's gone by the bar scene...

CandaceBerger In reply to ScribalWriter [2009-04-22 05:07:01 +0000 UTC]

I haven't seen any of his other series, but I might have to. I just finished re-watching the whole season the other day. Jayne is overall a great character... =o Next time I watch Serenity, I'll keep an eye out to see.

ScribalWriter In reply to CandaceBerger [2009-04-23 01:13:11 +0000 UTC]

Please do! I'd like to know I didn't imagine it. Or maybe it's another hat... he probably has a surplus of them. Was else can his mother send him that won't go bad through the mail?
