Description
NIK tools are fun.
Just a lighting test that turned out decent after a lot of Photoshop work, hopefully someone will like it. Posing isn't good because it was just a test. I'm still struggling with getting backgrounds to look right, but after trying a few of the things that the exceptional artist isikol does, I might be starting to improve somewhat (hopefully!)Thanks as always for taking a look!

Nice! The strong color influence of the lighting is really good. Good to see you having fun again, Snow.

Thanks, that little lighting effect worked pretty well here. I'm still pretty lifeless, but once in a while an experiment will turn out OK.

Great work as always! Is it just me, or is her head rather large?

Thanks! I think it's the afro that's large (which it is, haha), but she does have a little bit of 3D toon in her that could be doing it.

The other one is there on her back too.

I know! But this time she showed this one, so she wanted us to say something nice about, it was a little depressed always being on the back
Oh! You just say the nicest things

Thank you so much! That lighting efffect was actually done in Photoshop with a free set of plugins called Google NIK tools. Be sure to get them if you use Photoshop.

there's something about the eyes that takes me to uncany valley territory...

Really? They seem very simple and not all that special to me.

They are a bit less real than the rest of her I think...

That's probably true, yeah. Thanks.

so there I was looking at her on my ancient iPad (not the newer good one), startimg at her feet and working up (thanks to its pathetic, laggy display), thinking, yeah, she's pretty hot, but then I got to her eyes and it was, wait something's not right, and then, run away! now this probably reflects my own character flaws, others might not have even noticed, but when I see eyes that even vaguely remind me of that Heaven's Gate guy, I run like a deer (actually it's more pf a plodding shuffle)
Eyes are tough, I think, I've had to do all sorts of mucking with them.

Huh, I really don't find them so out of place with the rest of the image. Everyone sees different things though.

Thanks, that's mainly just about trying to get lights to shine in the right place.
