A Night to Remember

[Ron Duke]

Thought I had posted this before, but I couldn't find it in a search. Hence, here it is (possibly again!).
I used the art brushes for the hair styles. I did do it with the man's, but it doesn't show and I couldn't continue working on it because the file has become too large for Xara to handle anymore, even working in wireframe.
I created my own filter layer made from one color and an elliptical transparency. Again, this is for my wife and she has chosen the colors. The layout is all mine. The wall is not a bitmap but created solely using vector shapes. The floor is a bitmap fill.

Nice one Ron. However his hand cannot do that. That should be the outside of his hand of her back. The mood is lovely and very romantic.

Thanks Gary. Maybe I need to improve the shading. It is the outside of his hand; the thumb is at the top. I'll look at that again.

[Ron Duke]

Well, the program is rebelling, but I think I was able to succeed in adjusting the lighting on the man's hand.
Comments are welcome.

I had to study the hand to see what Gary was talking about , and,he was right.
