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.

Well, I always draw in oekaki shi but I guess it wouyld be the same for most applet...but anyways, I just dab on a base color (doesn't matter if it looks bad...It's supposed to be messy.) Then, select a lighter shade of that color, lower the opacity, make the brush size very small, then make bunch of stands. on the hair. Repeat this step selecting about 2 other shades. Next, choose dark shade or black, still small brushed, and make the stands where it is dark. Then, choose white, thicken the brush, slightly higher opacity than before and make the strands where the highlights are. Then, erase the excess color. And finally, make bunch of strands hanging off. Check my gallary for what it may look like.

This was a good attempt at hair, much better than the one I did...oh well. Thanks for that too Nekodesu! That helped me out.

assassin

tappie_chan (Jun 2, 2005)

just wanted to bust something out (i needed a break from another drawing i'm working on)...
yea, the BGs not the best, but the internet was being a little buggy and slow, so i gave up on doing a detailed bg.
i don't usually draw busty half-nekkid female assassins, but a change is nice sometimes.

That's putting your heart into it.
Really, that's cool...I'm going to pretend this is more an expression of insanity then gothic, that way it's more interesting to me.

squee (Jun 9, 2005)

Hee.. "My Bloody Valentine" Reminds me of Good Charlotte.

Good idea. This looks like a metaphor, it has depth.

Xodiak (Jun 2, 2005)

Very pretty drawing! I like how the big rock man looks. He is so sad... poor rock man... At least the tiny couple keeps him company. Beautiful. <:)
