New Header Image

[strangetomato]

I decided to change my header image again. There's quite a different feel to this one. What do you think?

Bonus points to anyone who can knows where I took my inspiration for this image. It's a bit of an homage. ;)

JOHNNY. ♥___♥

And a naked Johnny at that. ;)

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!

Lookin' good Johnny! Not so sure on the homage, though.

I'm a long time lurker of your story, and have been for a long time but I wanted to say how much I love this picture. So artistic and lovely.

Inspired from the Smiths album cover, "Strangeways, here we come?" At least that's the vibe I get from it.

No clue on the homage, but mmmmrrraoow! Johnny!

[pieridae.livejournal.com]

Movie reference? It looks soooo familiar.

[purpleseas.livejournal.com]

Is it the album cover for Strangeways, Here We Come?

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I know!! It looks very familiar to me too, but I can't place it.

OMG is this right? :D And I have this album too, and here I was thinking of something else completely different.

[cameoflage.livejournal.com]

I think it is! That's why it looked familiar, I've been looking at it a lot when I play Rock Band 3.

[maranatah.livejournal.com]

I love it, it's so artistic :)

[petchy-14.livejournal.com]

It is!

You're right! It's not a perfect replica, by any means, but I was definitely keeping an eye to that image while I was working on it. As I'm sure I've mentioned, my title comes from that title (in the sense that Strangetown is being paralleled to Strangeways prison as both a word and an idea), so it seemed only fitting.

It features Johnny, but it implies another character (or two?) in the conversation, that Johnny is reacting to, located just outside the frame (or on the other end of the camera).

I'm glad you liked it enough to come out of lurking. Thank you. ^_^ It's always nice to hear from someone new.

*ding ding ding* We have a winner! :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. But of course.

(Johnny would never let on, but this adoration pleases him greatly.)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks! (And Johnny thanks you, too.)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heehee! He's working his minty charm, for sure.

The image I was inspired by was actually cropped from a movie still (East of Eden, 1955), so that's a great guess!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ^_^ I have to give all the credit for the composition and styling to the source material (the film and also the album cover), but I think I managed to grab a fairly nice little Johnny moment there (and then photoshopped it into submission).

Looks great, S_T :)

(Also, glad you've found some inspiration :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. ^_^ I'm really glad I'm getting some inspiration back. So far, so good. I seem to be getting some momentum going.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

lol it's like the bards in Sims Medieval... they actually can click on the world and "gather inspiration." :) If only it was that easy, lol!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Hah! I'm going to imagine I'm doing that from now on.

*click*

I'm gathering inspiration as we speak!

[meetme2theriver.livejournal.com]

I did not know this about the album title inspiration! And it's by the Smiths, how fitting. I like the new header. :)

[olivethegreat.livejournal.com]

I love the new header. I think it looks great. :)
