[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 334862, member: 21543"] I really see you as an artist....which you should be very proud of....and I really like 99% of what you post. I think you've achieved your objective in wanting a style that stands out. Do you think you could edit just the skin tones a tad, and still have the overall effect? I know that would take a lot of editing, but art takes a lot of patience also. Artists sometimes take months to get everything just right. I think when you're elite, as I would say you are, it might take you a while to find the right balance in skin tones that is pleasing to a wider spectrum of buyers. Again, in another way, you are very talented, and I'm sure you work very hard on each picture. My question is can you remove some of the 'dirty skin' look that most of what you posted has, without going to black and white? I'm thinking more (and I might be very wrong on this) along the lines of outlining people where they show exposed skin, and maybe layer and/or mask (just guessing) the skin tones to brighten and clarify them a bit (not all the way, as there are blemishes and faults that need to be shown) so that they don't have the dark skin when they're obviously white skinned folk? Is this even possible? [/QUOTE]
