Nurse Stephanie 070399
If you have not read Laid Up by Paul G. Cwick, please do so before scrolling further.
The prolific Mr. Cwick's latest tale forced me to invisualize yet again.
Finding reasonably close source material (damned if I could find a nurse with cap and panty!) took a bit of time.
The actual rendering was fairly straightforward. The bedspread had to be changed to a more hospitally-correct color and the wall monitor helped to make it look less like a hotel room. I was already to send it off to Paul when I re-read the story and discovered that it took place at night. I had to go back and play around with the lighting a bit to make the time of day a bit more ambiguous.
He seemed to like the results:
What do I think?
COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!
(MMMMMM! That's "Stephanie" all right!)
Thanx!!
(It's so wild to actually SEE something I pictured only in my mind's eye become REAL!! Like when I first laid eyes on the "Vanishing Woman" picture: my reaction was "WOW!!")
I saw the pic posted with the story; it looks great! I think the placement is good; it's right in the middle where I would have put it. I also noticed what you did with the lighting; that was really neat.
I know what you mean about not finding a pic w/ a nurse's cap. As a matter of fact, I wondered about that very detail when I wrote the story; I couldn't remember from my own hospital experience whether or not they even still wear those things! Be that as it may, though, I'm VERY pleased with the resulting picture!
