Fanart: A Tale of Two Talias (Babylon 5)

yuletart reveals are up, here's what I made for unithien_rerith:

A tale of two Talias

Summary: Talia faces herself, pre and post the activation of the sleeper personality in in "Divided Loyalties". The background is a kaleidoscope similar to that used by the agent Control (who was the sleeper) consisting of stylised images of Bester, Ivanova, Talia, and the Babylon 5 and Psi Corps logos.

My tablet was dying while I made this and died before I could do all the little fixes I wanted. Still, I think it came out pretty well. The background was fun, I made a little kaleidoscope Photoshop macro so I could mess about with the placement and made very liberal use of the "find neon edges" filter :)

Of course now I feel like I should reply to all the very nice feedback I got RIGHT AWAY.

Wow. I don't know the show at all, but the colouring in this is gorgeous :)

I forgot how hot Talia was.

Are they supposed to have different sized foreheads and chins?

I like the background! It's fun looking closer and seeing more details.

I don't find her so myself but I'm glad I managed to capture it regardless :)

YES, IT'S A METAPHOR

Thanks! It was fun arranging the elements so that they were both recognisable and made a pretty abstract pattern.
