  • Listening to: Pandora radio Benny Benassi station
Nothing much going on, I have noticed that my most recent pieces seem to have the same kind of color theme. I am trying to do dramatic lighting. Did I mention I love the grass brush in photoshop? :)

I finally read/looked through my Larry Elmore art book yesterday, "Back to the Drawing Board II" [link]
'and was inspired to do some drawing. I revamped a few old drawings, one looks Larry Elmore-ish. :)

Unfortunately, trying to scan the art in to put up on :iconportraitadoption: [link] is a pain. My Visioneer 7100 USB scanner seems to think that it is funny to put colored lines horizontally all the way down any color scans I do. Black and white is fine, no lines, but nooooo color, which is a problem because I worked with colored micron pens. I can adjust the picture so that I get most of the stupid scanner smut off, but it makes the lines harsh. I think it might be because I didn't use it for several months, and it kind of sat there.

Online they are saying " clean the glass". I don't think it is the glass that is the problem.

Edit: Well, brightness/contrast fiddling seems to work okay for the current piece I am working on, I am crossing my fingers that it will work with the other pieces I want to get done. It is just annoying to have to do all that extra work when I never had to do so much before. Still it is better than not having a scanner at all. That was hell.

An interesting project I learned about from :iconloish: [link]

Take a Disney coloring book page and take a classical art piece, color the Disney coloring book page in the color scheme of the classic art.

This sent me off on a tangent looking for a particular Cinderella book that I loved when I was a kid, not the Disney Cinderella that you see nowdays. I never really liked the new one. [link]
Beautiful illustrations by Retta Scott.

I block all known art thieves from my profile and artwork.
If you know a thief you should do the same.
