What is the best monitor setting?
Opium (Feb 23, 2006)
Alright, I have my monitor callibrated to be bright, but is it better to draw with a darker monitor or brighter? I downloaded the WiziWYG XP that marcello told someone to use to callibrate their screen, and it says that standard graphic art is supposed to be dark. Which should I do?

Opium (Feb 22, 2006)
ooooh! I really like this one! I'll have to show this to my roomie...she's a jewelry freak....we'll see jewelry ads on tv, and she can tell how many carats it is, along with the cut, even on those little stones on the side. I like the depth you gave this, btw :)

you need to smooth out the wing edges and maybe put some highlights on the shell in places to make it shine. But you're good with bugs;...ewwww

I think the problem is that it doesn't look anything like dust. not so much that it's there. dust is nearly opaque
DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Feb 18, 2006)
I personally don't think it needs to look like dust, (it does look more like smoke or something), but it's just cool looking, anyway.
nobody (Feb 18, 2006)
ya, i don't think it looks like dust. but i think whatever it is, it just looks neat.
suzie (edited Feb 18, 2006)
I want to thank you all for your views on this and how you see it. I was kinda messing with what colours I could use, that you wouldn't normally link to an Elephant, and the dust kind of evolved..lol I think the colour thing went to my head a lilttle, but I really appreciate all this feedback, it helps me a lot. Thanks again! :D

...Please don't delete this... I know, I need to stop making backgrounds, 'cause I suck at them. This is exactly what I see out the window, minus the blinds and a whole lot of snow...

If you don't want them deleted, follow the rules. You're not spending enough time on your pictures for intermediate. Practice pictures like this should be on beginners.

thank you everyone :) ha! do a pic of Quant! Let's start a 60's revolution ;)

Far out! I'll see if I can dig up something...this is great, Opium. I remember when we all used to draw those little eyelashes underneath our eyes to try to look like her. She's still making movies and is no longer a stick. :)
Opium (edited Feb 16, 2006)
Haha we're not supposed to do that anymore? whoops! You're right, twiggy is no longer a stick, but still, she's gorgeous. I watched an interview that she did on tv, and she said that she was naturally that skinny *cough* bullshit hehe but she did say reporters would bust into her dressing rooms trying to get photographic evidence she was born a boy!

ok, question, is everyone else seeing the black around her collar and coat like I am? I've only seen it on this one computer on campus so far...I swear, that's annoying.
Aswell (Feb 17, 2006)
Aww, this is excellent! I love her hair...

Those are eyes and lips are mezmerizing.
Opium (Feb 9, 2006)
I think this is my favorite one of yours so far! I love the stunning detail that you did in the hair, lips and eyes. It's breathtaking! You also made the makeup look like makeup, that is, you gave it loads of texture for not much color detail to work with.
Jessor (Feb 12, 2006)
wow...
suzie (Feb 13, 2006)
Oh wow greta..those eyes are hypnotizing. Love those little bits of grey in her hair too. She is beautiful..lovely work again :D
