Talking with a stranger . . .
Talking with a stranger . . . by @Lucky_Ladybug66 (Daisy Hunt)

. . . who is not an unknown after all. XD; This is based on a random fic I wrote, where Valon is at the cemetery talking to a random person about his friend's death. When he's finally able to see who he's talking to, he finds that it's Alister, who was supposedly dead. ^^;

As to why Alister did not simply tell Valon it was him, perhaps his own words best explain:

"I assumed you would recognize my voice," Alister replied calmly, "but I soon realized that you thought I was dead. Then you wanted to talk about what had happened, so I listened. You were too upset at that point, so I didn't tell you who I am. I thought it would be better to wait until you were calm again. Otherwise, you might have had a heart attack," he finished dryly.

Valon then yelled that he was upset now! Then he embraced his friend briefly. ^^; 'Twas quite cute, actually.

Don't ask me to explain the hat. XD; Yeah, I'm confused too. It was a mental image that refused to be silent.

WOW. The colors are really vibrant on this one! ^_^ Looks realy good. Although, if you're gonna do comp backgrounds, you really should work on getting rid of those white spaces. XD;; I know it takes a lot of patience, but the results are rewarding. Even if you accidentally go over something, in the end, everything seems to blend better. ^^ Also watch out for when making things white, speckles show up more than you might think. XD;

I LOVE THAT HAT! It's just too kewl. XD now sees Alister in a smokey bar playing a harmonica with it on. The sunglasses turned out really great as well. Although Alister's face . . . looks a bit cheeky, almost like a cherib. XP Probably simply cutting off some of that roundness below his glasses could solve that. Still pretty dang cute though.

Valon's hair turned out a lot better this time, and his jacket is pretty squared off. ^^ I'm particularly fond of the jagged tombstone as well . . .

And what's that under the missing piece of Alister's coat on his arm, a watch?

XD Yeah, the white spaces should go. One part of me actually likes the "border" effect, though. XD And my airbrush is really annoying. I can't delete just one stroke; if I delete one, I have to delete them all and start over.

You're right about Alister's face. XD; Whoops. often does the "cherub" thing and has to fix it. And that's actually part of a bandage, not a watch. XD; He got wounded pretty bad in the accident that caused Valon to think he was dead. nod.

Ah, the jagged tombstone... Based on a tombstone in the city cemetery that creeped me out as a kid. XD; Now I just have a fascination with it, and with cemeteries in general (though I've always had a love/hate relationship with them..).

I think most everyone has a love/hate relationship with them. LOL It's an Amercian tradition. What's really creepy are the ones in the south in the swamps where everything's above ground. Much more interesting in my opinion. shrugs
