Gifted Stained Glass

Description

Since I was in a drawing mood rather than a writing mood, and because my other one turned out so nicely, I figured I'd do one of these things for The Gifted, mostly because it was eating away at my brain. >.O Since I already had the template for the first one, I just used that because it was so pretty.

This one doesn't have quite as many 'symbolic' elements to it. Of course, you have the elements represented at the top, along with the main characters who use them. The center circle I kept metallic to represent Jacey's eventual Gift of metal. In that circle her other best friend and her best friend's boyfriend, as they are important to her, as well as the story.

With the minor characters, I decided to 'group' them by 'affiliation'; that is make the background in each one different depending on what they are connected with. We have, of course, the Morgenstern's on the left, Candor in the middle, and the Thibodeaux's on the right. I was going to have Grace there in the center, but I liked the idea of Katrina better, since she is Jacey's main 'rival', and this is clearly a Jacey strained glass. ^^; Hey, she's my character. I can if I want.

Jacey's in her prom dress only because I wanted to draw something a little more flowy than last time. Plus, it's pretty, and I wanted to draw it again. ;P

Also, colored the lines on this one because I had wanted to do that with the last one, and couldn't quite figure out how to do it. :O_o: So, I went ahead and did id for this version. :D Looks nice, as always.

I might do one of these for my other stories, if I can figure out if I have enough characters. I...probably do. These are so pretty, even if they are a lot of work, but so worth the effort. :heart: :love: :heart:

...:D :D :D :heart:

This works out really well, I'd say. I know you weren't intending for any meaning, but I just think the way you positioned the head shots seems significant in a way: the two families Jacey's close to (her own and her best friends) at the top, with people of lesser significance/rivals at the bottom. In my mind, it works. :O_o:

I like the fact you put Jacey in her prom dress. Makes the whole thing look more epic, and that's always a good thing. :P The coloured lines also look really nice, and give it a very soft look. For some reason i like the dark background you chose for the head shots around the edges; it helps them stand out. Strange thing to note, I know.

Now with seeing two of these from you, it makes me want to do my own. Ha. The only one I can think of for CS is Spoilerfest 2010 and I haven't even thought about any of my other stories. Oh well. I can always admire yours, since they are so pretty. :D And this is pretty! :D
