Keeper's style guide has arms, right?

This is pencil on drawing paper. In Photoscape I auto-leveled, sepia toned, focal lit, sharpened, and did a slight contrasting for the windows. Darn.... i forgot to play with the luminance-curve.

That's awesome.

Like, really, really, cool.

thanks Ruwin'!

lol the wardrobe is pretty basic.... how do you dress a snake, anyhow? I like how i hid where the arms connect behind the hat. I think the middler part of the body is best but it would be cool to do a four+ armed rattler with tentacles behind his head.

Here's the same piece after adjusting the luminance-curve-

Interesting- I can see how the right edge of the paper is smoother and the upper left corner is very textural. Maybe it's because i am right handed and smudged the lead into the paper on the right side more or else the light on the picture i took was coming from the left.


Ok and next i loaded this next piece (which appears first, here...) which i blurred the background, adjusted the bloom, did some focal sharpening on the nose, backlit once, and then sharpened overall.

Hey! It's you!
You had us worried dropping off like that.

Ok!

Here's after a few more twerks and what i may settle on...

Ah Ha! I realized why the textures were uneven in the background!

-My lead wasn't packed tight enough on the left side....

I didn't get a chance at the time to say this, but this is incredible work, man. Some of your best pencil work I'd say.
