Dialyn, I've found that my stories have sometimes actually taken a different twist from what I originally had in mind for them. I've discovered things about my characters that I never thought of by rendering images of them. They've taken on characteristics, both physical and personality, from images that I've done of them, which really fleshed them out more. I also think of it as a drama rather than art design. But I also look at any art, whether it's digital here in the galleries, or paintings by the great masters, as a drama going on. I don't really care that much about the technical aspects of the art, but what's taking place with the characters that are in the image. For me, it's more of a story, rather than an artistic composition. I care more about what's going on in the minds of the characters than how they're arranged on the canvas or whether the lighting is effective. I want to know what's going to happen next for the people in the image. Melanie
