You could try desaturating it a little, or playing with the levels, cutting out the lighter tones more. I'm holding back suggesting a smart blur though- that would smooth out the colours, but you'll lose your pencil stokes Sad I donno- Its a hard one that... Desaturating it is probably best- the scanner picks up on any colour and magnifies it. if you desaturated it, it'll soften the harshness of the tone.

    Yes, and I did that already. The problem is that desaturating it even a touch loses the colours almost completely. *sigh* I'm going to try giving it another go after Christmas, methinks, and then I'll send it out to EBS. I really don't like smart blur. Texture is a pretty important thing to keep for me. But yeah - I've already played with the levels to the best of their advantage... Though come to think of it, I didn't try desaturating AFTER playing with the levels, only the other way around. It's worth another try. Thanks, soosie.

    PS - Would you be upset if you had to wait until after Christmas for your commission? I have so very many presents to finish, and I'm having trouble finding time for all of them. Innocent

      Not toooooo upset. I don't wanna rush you Smile I'd rather wait a little while and get something great than rush you and give you a breakdown, and not get anything at all ^^;

      I think desaturating it a little now you've done the levels would do it- I did the same thing, and desaturating it gave it back the washed look again (it was a pencil drawing of my character Bryan- the yellow in his hair went too bright and BAD).

        It WORKED!

        And please don'te worry. I haven't at all forgotten about you. I managed to finish one commission just tonight, but it isn't as detailed as yours will be, and I did it on the puter. (I'll be posting it soon methinks. I just want to get the commissioner's approval.) Now I'm really super pressed for time and I have three families to make presents for (I have two Christmases - one with my dad and his new family, and one with my boyfriend and his family and mom and her boyfriend. Lots and lots of presents.)

        Anyhow. Point is, I have your piece started, it's just not going to be finished until sometime in January, realistically. Yours is next in line, though, honest-to-goodness. Thanks SO much Arkillian for your patience. I feel awful making you wait like this.

            *huggles back* Oh good... I feel much much better now. There's you and one other girl waiting on me now. I'm not accepting any more commissions until I've taken care of the one's I've got and the prints I want to make so I can send all this stuff out... *sigh* So much to do in such a short life.

            Thanks again, luv. I'll talk to ya later, righto?
