'must be a WV thing. I know the moonshine is big there, but did not realize they named their teams after the stills! ;D

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Looks good Dan.
Your art?

It's always nice if everyone agrees on ONE shirt color, as it makes the art and seps
that much better suited to the final result.
Cheers.

Yes,  it's mine. I'm actually doing a revision on that face tonight to take away the pronounced cheek bones and add more "cave man hair". This is just the way it ended up after trying a different procedure that I've done done to completion before.


I'm under a lot of pressure to get some jobs out, so in trying stuff to see what goes faster, I sketched it out (in the computer file) using the Wacom tablet. Then filled in solid areas under my sketch on another layer and then refined the line work on top.  All in all, I know for sure now, that a good clean, tight line art to begin with is key. Then use the pen tool to isolate areas or draw around them cleanly. Thats the key to a faster completion. Now, I know.


Shirt color makes a huge different. Makes it so much softer as well on an image like this.

Here are the two prints from Dan's artwork.  He's been giving me too much credit via email, he's the real magician.  A trained monkey can do what I do with the art and seps he gives me.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Thanks for that Prozyan,  I gotta say tho, and can't say it enough.  It really does take both. One person helps make the other look good. You are indeed a good printer. Wear that badge of honor on your sleeve.


Hey, that would make a good self promotional print. A (The GREAT PRINTER badge of HONOR).
left sleeve print. :)  I think I'll make that as stock art.
