AU "StD" prom - Ron and Yori kiss

[JuPMod]

I'd spent many hours manipulating screen-caps to make this Rori moment of Ron and Yori kissing at the prom.

Consider this scene an AU or alternate-timeline where Ron and Yori get together after "Gorilla Fist". Kim gets jealous but meets up with Eric in "StD". Kim, Ron, and Yori stop Drakken's plot, and all three return to the prom, minus Eric who, as we all know, became a puddle of green goo. Kim returns alone but finds someone there to spend the rest of the evening. Ron and Yori end the night at the prom with a kiss.

It was fun doing this manip. Quite challenging given I done it using many layers and using various of tools in Photo Shop.

Awesome! Reminds me of my signature pic!
Ron and Yori would be a cute couple.

Nicely done

Nicely done, but I've never been into Yori/Ron. It's cute though.

Looks cool though what's with Yori's dress seems to make it look like she got into a fight with some knives

[JuPMod]

Yori is wearing a sleaveless, torso-hugging, dress with modest cleavage (which one can't see from the side). The dress straps in the front widen, but they are narrow upon reaching the shoulders and across her back in a cross.

This is an American prom, so she has to dress for the occasion. What do you expect her to wear? Her gi?

[megatron]

Eh a Kimono would have been nice

[JuPMod]

Well, as they always say, "When in Rome, do what the Romans do." Yori is attending an American prom, so she dresses as American girls dress for the prom.

Wow! I love it! Like I commented on DA...I think that I've found my KP ship (not that I didn't know it exsisted, but I never really thought about it before...)

You should be overwhelmed with pride with all the long hours you put in and that are well-appreciated.

[Pim Peccable]

Great effort

I know how tough Photoshop can be from working on my latest sig

[Ot@ru]

nice...

[surforst]

Nice. ;D

Interesting work on the image and great addition to your whole Rori universe.

Neither did I until I started writing Stories 2 and 3 of my Reflections Universe. It was luck that reviewers asked for follow-ups to "Don't Look Back" and my mind came up to what Ron would likely be doing with his life ten years after "Don't Look Back". My mind came up with him being together with Yori, and the rest was history. I certainly love Rori as much as K/R now of these days.

It is a tough program to learn on one's own. I was lucky that a nearby technical school has Photoshop classes for me to sign-up. (I took the classes for the knowledge and wasn't looking to gain any degrees or diplomas.) I'm no master of the program, for I can't ever do advance color rendering or the likes. Yet what I learned was enough to able me to do my collages and the Rori kiss.

And that's what I recommend to anyone who wants to learn Photoshop. If there are any, find a nearby school that has Photoshop classes. You simply take the classes for the knowledge, for there's no crime or wrong for taking classes for knowledge only and not looking for a diploma or degree.

Thanks!

It does make a nice addition to the concept of what it might be like if Ron and Yori became a couple while in high school. It can't fit my Reflections Universe, given Ron and Yori didn't became a couple until many years after high school.

Hmmm... I smell a 'what if' fanfic with my idea of R/Y in high school, yet I'm busy now with Story 19 of TUY to even get to it. Anyone else is free to take it and run with it though.

My comment is on dA

[fazhou]

That is cute! I gotta tell ya, I am envious of anyone who can draw a couple embracing and kissing like that. It sounds like such a simple thing, but it is really, really difficult to actually do an effective drawing. I've tried to draw kissing couples many times, and all those drawings sucked, which is why I haven't posted anything like that here or at DA.

I really thank you and everyone for the compliments.

It's not a *drawing*, my friend. It's a *manipulation*. It's still hard work to take screen-caps from the show and manipulated it around to make it look like something else entirely.

The head, body, and arm of Yori was taken off a cap from "Exchange" where Yori is kissing Ron on the cheek in their white gi's. I've copied the body parts and moved it around to fit into the "StD" K/R cap. I've colored out Yori's gi and make it look like she's wearing a prom dress. It's a lot of work using various Photoshop tools to get the job done.

Speaking of my R/Y art, I've just recently updated it. RedwingNut told me that Yori's skin color was too dark for the lighting of the prom, so I've thought about it and took the shade of Yori's skin from "Gorilla Fist" (shot from inside the zoo) and used that on Yori in the R/Y art. I've made it better than it was before, and moved the original art to my scraps section.

That's a great edit.
