Who is Sofie? I'm watching Carnivale, but I only have season 1. I've heard of something about maids being in his house... What do the maids do? Does he sleep with them or something?

Anyway, I love this picture. I love the coloring, and the expressions on their faces. Just Crowe is sexy as hell! Clancy Brown FTW!

Sofie is Clea Duvall's character this is more like fanfiction in drawn form so it isn't an actual scene from the season, but

I just got season 2 of Carnivale. I looked at the scenes with Sofie and Justin, and I totally ship them together!

Even though Sofie IS Justin's daughter...

Hee, it's not difficult, just a bit long/boring ^_^ Lots of selections filled with gradients, basically.

Oh I wish I could read your fic!
I just finished watching the first season of Carnivale. I liked Brother Justin, and Sofie from the very beggining!
I like every single character, but I've always really liked these two(Samson also!)

This is awesome. There isn't enough Carnivale art. Brother Justin is my favourite character.

Mind if I ask where this fanfic of yours is at? Because your art is most definitely compelling and has me curious about the story behind the image now, especially having only stumbled across the series on DVD recently and devoured it.

I must also gush over the color... I squee a little inside whenever someone manages to make something look so soft digitally: I know I'm completely inept at that, rofl.

Glad you like it!

re: soft coloring - Well, IIRC, other than the gradient shading, I also gave it a touch of the diffuse glow filter eventually. Also, I deliberately used a muted palette and put an overlay layer filled with a low saturated color (probably a greyish beige) in top of all the other layers, it really helps giving some chromatic consistency without losing vibrancy in your colors (you can do the trick with a "color" or a "multiply" layer as well, but they'd tone everything down).

Fic is here [link] , but alas it's in Italian, I don't know if you can read it? Not that you're missing anything I just tried to imagine how Sofie's first day at the Crowes' might have been, since the show jumps from her leaving the carnival to showing her already hired as a maid. Damn, it's such a pity they axed Carnivale :-C

Thanks for sharing, it's nice to know some of the tricks. I'm still pretty new to digital arts... when I see stuff like this I usually start thinking more in terms of light tea staining to age it and stuff like that. XD

Also thanks for the link, I've been a bit gnaw for anything Carnivale once I learned it was canceled. A good translation algorithm plus knowing that gender assignments when coming from both Italian and French are a bit screwy in English actually makes it pretty easy to read. Such a bloody shame HBO had to let it go.

BTW, I read through the entire "Table" and "Il male necessario" was my favorite . Also, I noticed you're in the yahoo group I just joined a few days ago. It's a small Carny world after all!

Yeah, the one good thing about Carnivale fandom is that it's very tightly knit Have fun at the group, there are people who probably know more about the show than Dan Knauf himself (other than Dan actually showing up from time to time; isn't it great when the author participates in his own fandom?)

Oh and I'm glad you liked the fic(s), and thank you for taking the pains of reading them through translating bots

Carnivale was a fantastic series - Brother Justin was definitely my favorite character (I always barracked for him rather than Ben )

You've done an excellent job of capturing an emotive moment, drawing them in a stylised way that still resembles the real actors. Excellent!

Pojypojy In reply to muffin-wrangler [2007-12-12 00:07:16 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I loved Justin as well... I mean, pretty much every character had their good share of AWESOME, but Brother Justin was probably the symbol of the series, at least in my perception
