Bolero became one of my father's favourite pieces of music because of Torvill and Dean's performance.
Me, being a teenager at the time (we know everything at that age, eh?), didn't take too much notice back then, but I can still remember my Dad's smile, sitting on the edge of his armchair, eyes glued to the tv set every time it was replayed
I always imagine an ancient city or civilization when I hear it, so for me it works so well with the couple discovering an abandoned temple.
Great works, Heike
"People will tell you where they've been
They'll tell you where to go
But 'til you get there yourself
You never really know.
Where some have found their paradise,
Others just come to harm . . . "
Where Sybill and Eadem have found their paradise did those ghouls just "come to harm"? What ever force of evil created those ghouls, they still have to be dealt with and Sybill and Eadem are just the team to do so.
I really like the color saturation in these images. The colors are deep and rich - like paradise should be - but there is an undercurrent of black that creates a vivid contrast to those lovely colors and seems symbolic of the light and dark that exists in this world. It's also a great visual effect to highlight the details in the images. Combined with the sharpness of these images - like the chain link details in Sybill's outfit and her bound sword and the ghoul's dark green poison - it creates stunning visuals that still leave the viewer with a feeling of unease - like you've stepped from the sunlight into a chilly shade.
Those interspersed landscapes and still lifes are wonderful and enhance the story. I like the "fade to black" aspect (with the few burning candles) of the story's ending, too.
Also... when we use the portal paintings, our clothes get changed. I only have 2 outfits, but Alex has a range of outfits that she will change into for our date night. Some are elegant (like the dress in this image), some are comfortable (like her favorite t-shirt) and some are extremely sexy. It is so much fun, because when we go through the portal, I never know what Alex is going to be wearing or what she will choose for us to do. But it is always fun and romantic.
In the image above, you can see that she has a plate of chocolates on the table!
Here is Alex in her favorite comfortable t-shirt, standing in the doorway to her walk in closet that I made for her, and later expanded for more outfits. Some are armor, and her special outfits are at the far end behind her.
Sorry for the long comment and images, but Alex has a special message for you. She says "Thank you so much for the inspiration you have given to cmh, because I have a wonderful life in Skyrim - in part because of the inspiration you bring to him and everybody else on Nexus". Oh... she also wanted me to see if I could find the outfits that your couple are wearing... because she might just want another special outfit for both of us. Just for Saturday nights!
PS. If I have ever told you all of the above or shown you these images before... sorry! I am getting older and can't remember everything I have done and said. Alex says that is sometimes a good thing!
PPS. I also liked the music in this set, which I downloaded on my PC downstairs when I downloaded the music from your previous set.
Edit: Forgot to endorse!
You have so masterfully managed to create a completely different atmosphere in this excellent work :)
I liked watching these pictures to the music of "Bolero" :))
The music knocked me out when I was much younger than I am now :) Created by a genius.
!::! Fred greets you.
