Description I tweaked the colors pretty heavily after I got it in the computer, though I hadn't really intended to. It just looked cool. The original by comparison is much less contrasty. I learned that I like these darker colors better. Next time!

Thanks. I was pushing to make her a less literal portrayal.

She'se quite creepy. I don't mind the muted colours, I think it adds to the menacing feel of the atmosphere, although I can imagine how tweaking may have helped. Not averse to some tweakage.

What I tweaked wasn't really the colors so much as the contrast. I didn't have any real darks in the original. It had a more washed out look. It's interesting with the watercolors. Some colors lighten as they dry and some darken. Weird.

Yeah, it does give it a moodier feel. I'll explore this more.
