Been drawing since I was 5...tried various other things as well...still can't find my "style" either I like too many things. Photo editing, drawing, digital painting, animation.. T.T

As long as you enjoy what you're doing though, why not? D:

Hehe for sure!! The main thing I'm curious about is her luminosity effects, I fail miserably at those so even when something is shown as being under 'bright' light they still look a little dull and faded. That being said, hers have a somewhat ethereal/dreamy quality to them and that is what I'd like to capture haha It's beautiful!

I feel your pain about liking too many things lol, at the moment I have dress-making (totally not limited to dresses though!), knitting, crochet, cooking , sculpting and digipainting because it's so much cheaper than spending hundreds on decent acrylics and brushes etc etc ; ;

I feel your pain!! Haha, my biggest question is 'how do you put the luminosity into the skin'? :O

Also, the mnk glamor shot is loooovely, it looks a hell of a lot more life-like after you tweaked the colors etc

I feel your pain!!

Colour is very important, to make the character look like they are not sitting 'on top of' the image behind. I paint it with a very soft brush after that and use a soft eraser if it is too much ^^
I want to do more of them but I lack good SSs since servers are down XD! I will do myself as a SMN with Carby when able!

I had an embarrassing emergency with PS the other day because I didn't know what colour profiling was and I accidentally changed mine! So my images saved super dark ;_; it was a terrible few hours, but ViVa from Masamune too helped me fix it ^^

I'm looking forward to seeing your carby!

Me and the soft eraser go way back, I love well-blended edges! haha

Ouch! haha, I haven't really played with the color settings much, aside from Photo Filter... that has saved my butt so many times when skin I've colored looks a little 'grey' on completion>< lol.

So decided to have a bash at screenie edits, ended up falling back on using mainly soft paints since I couldn't get the effect I was looking for with filters>< lol



and for comparison, here is the flat, yucky original lol:

They actually have some tutorials posted on their blog, take a look. If you can read Japanese, that is :P
