The End of Innocence - Space Crimes

3D Render by slofkosky

Needed a break from Ivory, Moshi and Poe. So tried to capture a moment from the novel I'm attempting to put together. Man, I need a complete rewrite of how my brain works to get it finished... smile

NO AI USED

Oh!! If anyone comments, which of the two do you like better? Wasn't able to decide for myself although the first one really captures more of the feel.

Top one, though somehow the light in no.2 on John's face and Madleine seem to be nicer.

Maru_berlin I totally agree with you that the lighting on the second one just works better. I think a third one is in order that that marries the elements of the first one with that lighting on the second. Thank you always for your time and incredible kindness my friend.

Good writing's even harder if you dun cheat with AI, so kudos. Dun let AI rewrite your brain either. That'd just be sad. I like them both, naturally but I think the top one with Maddy's head tucked in closer against John's chest. Also, I hope in the novel version she makes him work super-duper hard for forgiveness for believing she needed to be locked up. I still haven't forgiven him!

Eve!!! You are awesome to levels that nobody can ever understand! Don’t let your hubby ever forget that.

So my challenges with the novel are adding up. My stories are so very habit driven, at the moment, where I create an image based upon what I believe would be interesting. The story is started with a simple notepad in Windows usually during a first test render. I then massage that story over, about, three days refining it as the image slowly develops during my spare time.

My wife then reads what I’ve done and interjects her own hates/likes about what was presented to her. That often leads to even more changes/revisions. So my problem is that the habit is my method. Great for a VERY short scene or scenes but horrible for a longer running scene. Also because so much time can take place between two sentences the story whips around becoming disjointed often.

Sorry so long of a reply. It’s 2am here and I’m tired.

Thank you always Eve for everything.

I find that organizing in threes helps me when I write. Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. So, too, does every scene. And novels are stories comprised of scenes. Remember, too, that stories are about people, so who they are at the beginning shouldn't be who they are at the end. They need to change.

You have so much depth of character, especially with the relationship between Madeline and John -- like his doubt and the betrayal they both felt when she was arrested and detained. Dunno if you've done so already, but even the barest of outlines (beginning/middle/end) will help you get from beginning to end. Even better if you can tell others what your story is about in a single sentence (It's called your "elevator pitch" but I won't bore you with the mechanical details). I am so excited that you're writing this novel. I'll be even more tickled if you plan to marry it to the vast library of artwork you've dedicated to Space Crimes.

You have immense talent, dearest, and I -- for one -- look forward to getting my autographed copy! smile

Thank you so very much PhthaloBlue! I think it's mostly unanimous at this point and am glad that was my choice too. Really appreciate your time and input.
