I just discovered your gallery and I really like your pics. I especially like the way you do the skin colors of the characters. How do you get them to come out so life like?Β

Thanks for the kind words (and the faves.) I use two shades of Prismacolor colored pencils to do flesh tones: light peach and beige. I try to press down lightly and just color in evenly. I do use a little touch of red or pink sometimes to give a little extra.
It also comes down to the scanning or photographing of the drawing, getting the lighting right, and soften adjusting the tones and brightness using photo editing programs-- such as i-Photo. To be honest, I didn't get this image quite how I'd like it and will likely re-photograph it in the future.

Of course you agree with the guard. Just remember, the gallows here are killing gallows. None of those asphyxiation/revive/repeat things here. Holly and Zoe would end up dead. I figured I've give them a chance to prove themselves-- for now.

I hope the guard and prison management don't waste too much time.
They'd look cute with longer necks, too.
And I am very curious to see what sort of uniform you'd design to send girls to the gallows in.

I will say that they have proven themselves a challenge to photograph. I know they would plead they're not to blame for dark spots and diminished color. They wouldn't dare imply that I should practice more with my photo stand.
So, I'll give them a reprieve while I "get the hang" of things.

In fact, a friend of mine suggested this very same APP and gave a quick demonstration of it. It appeared to work. He, like you, is an Amiga user, and still has an operational unit.
I'm still determined to make a go of this photo stand, especially since I invested my time and money into it.Β
The process of photographing a drawing still involves several steps: arranging the picture on the bed, zooming and focusing the camera, attempting to orientate the twin LED lights to illuminate evenly, taking the shot(s), uploading the pictures to my old I-MAC, then running them through I-Photo, saving the best effort to a thumbdrive, then uploading the finished picture here to DA using my new Chromebook-- the browser on the I-MAC is out of date, and not updatable. Like you, I don't have a nice, secure, dedicated space to set these things up. Other than that, it's a breeze!
I won't be able to put off my creative drive forever. Circumstances can only postpone me, but they can't stop me.

Thank you. I really do appreciate the words of encouragement I've received.
I really must say that your own work just gets more impressive!

Thank you. I should admit that I've been here, I just hadn't been posting anything. I'll try to remedy that.

Thank you. I must say it's good to see you've been posting quite a lot, both new stuff and classics from the "good old days" of Gag Order.
