Artist's Comments
Title: "Breezy Afternoon".
From: random images Medium: Photoshop Elements Caption: none. Completed: May 21, 2008 Description: girl running with or after parasol, which it is cannot exactly be determined Artist Comments: HOMIGOSH... sorry I haven't exactly been keeping up with my entries and stuff (AKA my little rantings down here), but I've been SO busy with being sick and having to make up all this junk for school and just all this crud... SO. I promise here and now (for all of you up at 12:10 AM) that as soon as school's out and I have the time to really just sit down and not get up for a very, very, very long time despite butt-cramps and lack of sugar, I will go back and finish them. Anyway, onto the comments--!!! So, for this, it was just another case of things falling perfectly into place... I saw the background image (magnificent), and found the model right away (B-E-A-U-tiful), and the parasol came fairly easily (frilly, but still very, very nice). Once it was all said and done, the colors were just so out of whack that I had to do something, so I tried every cheap little trick I know... from layering colors and playing with the opacity for that vintage look to adding noise and messing around with hue-saturation level stuff to flipping through gradient map filters... but in the end, what looked best was the oldest, dirtiest, cheapest, most hated thing there is: the sepia tone filter. But I dun care, so I used it anyway and it looks great, SO MLEAH! [I did happen to throw a Hue/Saturation layer under the sepia tone filter if it's any consolation...] (the end) EDIT 05/24/08: Okay, so once I actually noticed them, these two little things (both about the parasol) were bugging me. A lot. First, the pole was too light; it just stood out too much. Second, the ribbon on the end, though very pretty, was over the girl's head, and things just... don't work that way. So I finally got around to changing them (ribbon simply with the eraser and pole by the burn tool), and now it's absolutely perfect, and I couldn't hope to do anything more to make it better. Well, until I find the next problem I'm too lazy to fix.. Picture Credits (names are links): background girl parasol Note: Do not steal my work; if you wish to use it for any purpose, just ask. Feel free to comment, but keep it relevant and constructive please. |

Yes... yes it is!!!
It's just that most people dislike when anyone uses the sepia tone filter because it's so over-used and is such a cheap, easy trick. But then again, when most people are ranting about anyone using the sepia tone filter, it's because they're calling it a "vintage" effect instead of just lighting.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, by the way---you stock was just so perfect and beautiful, even though I read that you didn't like it very much. Sometimes the most awkward poses are the most useful, y'know?
And thanks for actually posting something relevant and intelligent in your comment (which is, of course, why I replied).. instead of just "Wow, this is great!" or "oo, very pretty draw" or, my personal favorite, "i like the swirly watercolor look of the colors" (sadly, these are actual comments I have received [on another site]).
And you're welcome. When I first started putting up my stock images I was kind of scared to put some of them up, but I'm slowly learning that even if I absolutely hate them, other's will like them.
Thanks for replying, too. It doesn't happen often enough to me.

Sometimes... things aren't always what they seem to us. Everyone views things differently, and a piece you hate may be absolutely brilliant to the world around you. Hence how I've been able to save up even just a scrape of cash for the start of a fund for a BJD with some prints of watercolor practices that people at school seem to like (I have a journal entry to keep up with my balance of funds and stuff if you want to check it out). Personally, I think they're crud, but other people are willing to pay ten bucks a pop for 'em.
