Attack of the Gruesome Contrast Issue!

Thu Feb 26, 2009, 5:17 AM
Yeah...so all these past few years I've been happily chugging away at my computer with my contrast set at maximum, and editing all of my drawings accordingly. Well recently I discovered how bad a thing this is, because not everyone is going to have their contrast turned way up and as such they're going to see errors and quirks that I couldn't see due to my settings.

Since then I've kept my contrast at about half, and after going through my drawing archives I have a depressingly large number of drawings with glaring problems I couldn't previously see with the contrast turned up, such as the obvious use of a white paintbrush to clean up an area that I thought was white but was in fact a shade of gray (you can see this problem a lot in my heavily shaded full-page drawings).

Ever since this painful revelation, all of my old drawings look like epic botcheries of embarrassment, so I'm probably going to go through and fix the important ones, though there are so many that it's going to be a downright daunting task. I'll probably start working on these soon, but it'll take some time. Bleh.

Oh yeah, I'm suspending the every 500 kiriban thing for the time being because I've got a lot of stuff going on (and unfinished kiribans I owe people).

The Eucharist is actually a Recapitulation of the Eukaryotic Revolution. When Christians ingest the Body of Christ, without digesting it, they are re-enacting the miracle of endosymbiosis that paved the way for eventual multi-cellularity
Nice deviations. You're going straight to my watchlist.
