Description
A totally self-indulgent piece. Basically... I wanted to do something easy and fun and just.. wolves and trees and fiery stuff and colors hat could be expressive and very non-technical.All brush and crylic inks and watercolor.
Yay, fun.
But jeez, I wish I could get some decent color to show on these web images. This looks like a very muted version of the .tif, which in turn just not quite the original. Bummer. Makes me want to do more straight but digital work, but then I remember how that has turned out in the past... T_T
Back to the watercolor brush and inky t-shirts for me!

Great picture, I like the fiery background a lot. If you want to make the colors stand out more you can try opening it up in a digital art program and increase the contrast of the colors.

Thanks,
I prefer not to do color control with contrast, though. A good program will have more accurate controls over individual colors as opposed to a general contrast control. Unfortunately, no matter how accurate you get the image, when you save to jpg or png, you loose it again... and then some. If you over-saturate it and then save as a web-friendly format hoping it will de-saturate down to something close to the original, the software is doing some interpolation in there, and the end result will not have the same color depth as it did originally. Web formats just don't have the accurate color space that psd or tif or eps do. I think. I'm no expert though... I just know enough to know that I don't know enough...
