Thanks for the link Mazi. I've wondered about that myself because images seem to vary so much when viewed on different systems. I adjusted my monitor according to the grey scale there and I nearly went blind. Everything was so light and bright. I looked at the pictures on here, and I think most people have their monitors set darker than the standards on that site. There are a lot of strange streaks on some images when you view them on the lighter settings. I tuned my monitor back to the darker settings. I like my rose colored glasses. ;)

Edit: Wow, Xod. I tried that. I can't even see to do that because the whole screen goes almost completely white around gamma 1.8. I can't see to move the slider any more.

Settings depend on what kind of graphics card and monitor you have. It is really hard to congifure all the settings in a pleasant way. (especially if you use monitors of different types, cameras, scanners, capture cards, separate 3D or video overlay settings) I wish I knew a website with visual tests so I can configure the monitor and the video card so I could follow some "standards".
My monitor contrast and brightness settings are set to 100% (max)
When I configure my video card's to gamma 1, I can only discern the man's head, hand and tool, his blouse just fainlty and a small part of his trousers. The rest of the picture seems completely black.
When I configure gamma to 1.94, I can discern all of the details completely, but the column looks dark.
When I configure gamma to 3.97 and above, most of the shading details fade away, but I can discern an additional 4 colour pattern on the previously plack pillar. Did you intentionally paint this Miss mazi?

Miss Gigge, my gamma settings go from 0.50 to 6.00.

drawn in 11 min

I'm done with this, I hope I didn't kill it.

Hmmm its pretty good. I like the coloring, the background is cool too.
A few pointer.
Make your lineart a little smoother. (less scratchy)
Little more shading (its still good)
The lighting (source) on the hair isn't the same as the body and face. So you need to change that too.
Still good though.

joe_shmo (May 29, 2004)

yeah, i noticed that on the hair, and i just took asthma meds so i was sooooo shakey. Haha but what can you do. ill work on those, thanks Knock

Northern_shadow (Jun 9, 2005)

Just wanted to show Noremac what Griever really is..
Some of you people wo are familiar to bleach probably think that Griever looks like Ichigos sword Zangetsu.
allthought i made Griever long time before Bleach.
offcourse i've been updating Griever alot, but the shape has stayed kinda same
