Small update


Trying to figure out my color profile issues with the air genasi. I seem to have found the reverse problem... but its getting better, or at least it seems to adjust in my favor.

Update on a picture


*sigh* I'm having a bunch of trouble with my color profiles, everything keeps saving out with a bluish tint. Its really getting on my nerves because it also messing up the contrast of my images. Compensating is hard too because its imprecise and doesn't really prevent the contrast evenly. I'm going through my monitor's color profile and photoshop's color settings and setting them to Adobe RGB 1998 but the "monitor color" preview for photoshop is still showing the image with more blue added.

So anyway, I've changed my character a bit and gave him a full pauldron and more armor along the arm. I'm worried about balance but the character is just looking too badass at the moment for me to care that much.

Two new images for January

Alright, I have myself a face study, Tortuga (someone from ventrilo) was doing a face study on ventrilo and I was bored so I stole the photograph that he posted and did my own study. Note to self: Get a solid drawing down when doing portrait studies.
Also, new character!

Made a new air genasi character in D&D and I was having some fun doing an illustration for him. Not completely done but here's what I have for today. I plan on finishing the hand and maybe redoing the gauntlet, the clothes need some polish too. There might be issues with the canvas color, I might do something with it to get his head and hair to pop out a bit. I'm also having problem with color profiles, apparently the color profile that I'm working in Photoshop is NOT the same profile that it uses to save my work, so my images are coming out lighter and with a blue tint to them :/
Bit nervous about the aftermath of a job interview.... was hoping they'd call by today, otherwise it seems like I'm waiting for... a kind of letter, which I hope isn't the sort that I think these letters are for. Didn't really feel I was a very COMPELLING interviewee, hindsight is 20/20 though, so hopefully I wasn't as bad as I thought I was. It did bring up a good point though, not enough thumbnailing on my site and blog, which was... crippling during the interview. So expect to see me uploading them more often along with their finished products. Except for these last couple of images... I kinda... didn't thumbnail... for them.
