Looks good! The folds on the shirt are great, as is the movement in the kilt. Did you do that with imagemapping?

Hi there An-Nah!
I´m glad you like him - thank you!
By the way, I´ve looked up for you whether the book was published in Poland - and as far as I´ve found out, it was! It´s called "Obca". The following two volumes were published too, called "Uwieziona w bursztynie" and "Podrozniczka". I´ve found this at the website of the "Ladies of Lallybroch", a fan club for the books, at [link]
Well, of course I don´t have a very objective kind of view on the books. - I recommend reading them, of course! I think they´re great, kind of adventure/love story with unexpected and therefore enthralling turns. Perhaps you´ll want to give it a try!

Hiya!
Thank you - glad you like him!
No offense taken by your question, don´t worry!
Hum, I never thought about whether his hair looks girlish - could be, yes! But on the other hand - don´t long hair always look kind of girlish? I gave him this long hair because men in the 18th century in Scotland wore their hair long, I think... and because I like men with long hair ever since I was a heavy metal fan waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy back in my youth

Thanks Orcy!

Yes, I really worked very hard, redoing his shirt about five times because I wasn´t content with the drapery and all. It still isn´t perfect - I should have added the colour of the clouds in the folds of his shirt, because light cloth always reflects the surrounding, as I´ve heard. But I was too lazy in the end... I finally wanted this piece finished, and decided that I am content enough with it to leave it for a few weeks on my desktop now - which is really good, since I´m always looking for a mistake in my works when I see them often, and when I´ve found one, I only see the mistake when I see the pic.

I know that there are probably some flaws, such as that he looks kinda short (the guys over at the Ebony Keep forum mentioned it), but I cannot make him look taller without having to change too much (and recoloring) unfortunately. Though I even changed his size so that he is 9 heads tall, as I´ve read that this is the size of a heroic man (the average man is about 7 1/2 heads tall). Maybe it really is the kilt which makes him look short.

But well, since I don´t intend to change anything anymore anyway (any any any ), nothing can overthrow me that fast! I´d be pleased if you told me your crits, because I can learn from them and maybe make it better next time (after 4 years of study I finally DO know that crits are your friends... isn´t that great... I´ve learned something from my study! *gg*)!

Heyyy! That´s great! You are a Fraser on your mother´s side! Cool! Frasers are cool, I think.

Thank you for your compliments! Yes, the folds in the shirt were kinda hard work, but since I studied shirts closer now, I´ve learned a big deal about drapery, which is veeery very good.

No, didn´t use imagemapping for the kilt - in fact, I´m not really sure what imagemapping is
I drew the pattern by hand, and when I saw that the folds over the leg were not bulging forward correctly, *cough* *whispers* I cheated a bit with the "Liquify" filter in Photoshop... sssshhhh...

Apparently the Fraser traditional lands are around Loch Ness. This might explain a few things.

As far as mapping goes, I screwed up the name. It's *displacement* maps I was referring to -- distorting a pattern according to the pattern of lights and darks on a piece. Er, this tutorial explains it far better than I ever could: [link]

Anyway, I'm even more impressed that it was done by hand.
