apparently my monitors darker than everyone else's. i wonder if theres a way to see how close to "normal" brightness your monitor is. hm.

edit: oh hey. i found this if anyones interested. i cant tell the difference in the darkest ones at all. hm...

are they gonna wrench my nuts off?? :O!! *covers crotchital area*

Gigge (edited Jun 2, 2005)

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.

yeah the pillar was supposed to be solid black. :P

name him wiggly

nekodesu (May 31, 2005)

He must be very full from all the noobs he have eaten so far XD Nice demon.

Zack (Jun 1, 2005)

I keep seeing this huge nose on his forehead, but I think it's supposed to look more like the brow and eye-socket area. Nice flame bg. I was checking out the links today, cool stuff, definitely going to give it a second look later.

mazi (Jun 1, 2005)

aha i kinda see what you mean on the nose. but yeah its supposed to be his forehead coming down into an eyebrow type thing. which is kinda strange seeing as how he doesnt have eyes ANYWAYS. but hey.

Oh, wow! I love this style. The coloring you used works perfectly with the thick lines. Good facial anatomy as well.

Punky (May 17, 2005)

Xodiak (May 17, 2005)

Hehe, very nice! The comic book style is perfect. And the shading is great. Good job! >:D

Childlike_Vampire (May 10, 2005)

That's one of my favorite song lines evar. I like the glowy bg and the streaky hair colors, also the skin shading, and the lineart of the eyes.

Truearashi (May 17, 2005)

I found that series interesting until I found out it was a lame neverending numbered one, or something like that. I like conclusions, lol, so I gave up on it.

I knew it was a Mazi from a mile away, I love your colors and coloring style. Noice abs. You should make a cave or woods in the bg, maybe?

HunterKiller_ (May 1, 2005)

oooOOoo Animorphs! I used to read so many of those books, totally sucked in.

Hakkai (May 1, 2005)

AHHH! I <3 Tobias! <33 So angsty. Animorphs was great.

This looks awesome. 'specially the coloring of his fur/ skin. Very tasty. =D

Urei-sama (May 1, 2005)

yea, i thought this was from animorphs. books didnt intrest me that much but the concept did

Chaosz (Mar 6, 2005)

very nice!! I love it! Love the background and the way you colored the hell boy! Keep up the good work!

Childlike_Vampire (Mar 6, 2005)

I can see how smooth the bg was at the end of the animation. Wow great picture Mazi! The left horn seems a lil off but I can't tell why, and I'm probably wrong, lol. My favorite part is the skyline you have going back there. :P

davincipoppalag (Mar 6, 2005)

This is a good one mazi. I likeyoiur perspective and the coloration is well done.

Aubrey (Mar 6, 2005)

Never did see that movie. This is cool though. I like the skyline as well, it's really a neat pic overall.

decide what? if this naked girl/guy who's wearing a liberty crown is dysphoric or not?..... if so... then my answer would be, who knows 'til you know her/him

concannon (Mar 5, 2005)

Oooh, mazi art. I love the coloring on the skin.
