Pictures: Scheherazade/Zaina

[hazliya]

So, the costume I made for the Al-Ashtara game also doubled as a great halloween costume, especially as one of my favorite characters ever, Scheherazade. So I called up one of my favorite photographers and he was all for it. =) The waterfall was awesome, especially because I could pretty much climb right on top of the rocks at low "tide," as it were.

And I love that book.

I think I should make one of these into an icon. Any favorites? Not necessarily for an icon, but in general? I tried some new things with this set.

Thanks! Why, out of curiosity, do you like 7?

I like the way your hair falls along the left side of your face. Also the way you look down at the book adds a hint of mystery (and perhaps appeals to the voyeuristic impulse, wherein the observer has spotted your character a moment before she realizes she is observed); the pose and color scheme is very much reminiscent of a Waterhouse painting. I also like the way the pillows and such are arranged in an almost flower shape beneath/around you. It really resonates with me.
