Final Animal series wallpaper

Well, I've finally finished my Animal series for the boys.  It was difficult to decide which animal to use for Nathan Jackson, but I finally settled on raven, suggested by wolfandboarfics.  So, here it is - and I hope you'll like it as much as you liked the other ones; he certainly gave me a headache!

It's a lovely addition to the series and they are all wonderfully done. After reading about the intelligence and cleverness of ravens, I think it's a very good choice for Nathan. Also I think Nathan does have a good sense of humor, like ravens seem to as well.

I really love the old time, classic feel of and the lighting of the wallpaper and it looks so real, almost like it could have been a scene from the movie. Beautiful job!

Thanks, I'm so glad you feel that way. I did some research online concerning Native American beliefs, and I also remember reading a book written by animal behavior researcher Konrad Lorenz years ago, so I agree about the raven being a good choice for Nathan.

I actually picked up a few tricks from my sister, who's very active in the McLeod's Daughters fandom. She's very good and I'm always asking for advice re lighting and color and composition, even though she's my kid sister!

Thanks again, and take care
Aida

First, hope your mom, you and your loved ones are doing well. Sending postive healing energy your way.

Second, this is a gorgeous addition to all the wallpapers. The raven is a good choice for Nathan. I love the whole concept of the wallpapers, the background which makes them feel like any of the 'boys' could come alive in that background and I think you chose very good animal spirits to fit each of our seven. Wonderful wallpapers, Aida, adding this one to the other ones I have downloaded for my desktop.

Third, you asked me about my mood theme which was made by the creative and talented [livejournal.com profile] zekiel. [livejournal.com profile] zekiel graciously shared her mood theme with the rest of us M7 fans. You can download her zip file here..

Then what I di was upload it to my photobucket and then customized my mood theme here at lj.

take care,
hugs
Angela

Dear Angela,

yes, my mom is getting better, she's on chemotherapy but it doesn't seem to have a bad effect on her (not yet anyway, and we're hoping it will stay that way). Thank you for thinking about us.

I'm glad you liked the series, and I'll try to post more wallpapers as time and obligations allow. You all have been very supportive of me and my work, and I'm grateful for it.

About the mood theme - thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I didn't even know that Plus users can have a mood theme, I thought it was for Paid users only. I have to admit, even though I love Chris and Michael Biehn, I'd like to have an Ezra mood theme since I'm not really into slash. But the theme looks so good I'll use it and credit.

Thanks and take care,
Aida
