Urgh that's really wierd. I saw this thread on a different computer and my art is so dark. On my laptop when I draw them, my pictures are a lot lighter. Apologies about the art Drelias, at least I understand what people were talking about now lol. Had me puzzled.
I'll see If I can make my screen darker, not sure on this laptop.

@ Reigi, I've been busy with ideas, I either want your character fighting something massive (but would make your character small) or do a kind of portrait like piece. What would you prefer?
Also I'm waiting for my tablet to be delivered before I start, so I've got time change things

EDIT: my laptop was on super-bright apparently >.>

O_O~!! That happens to me too! O: On my old compy all of the colours were darkish . And I'd switch to this one and I could barely see what I drew XD So I'm getting paranoid of what everyone else see's when I post something o_@!!

Don't apologize, Woody! The darkness works quite well with a nearly-monochromatic necromancer.
My old monitor made everything stupidly dark, even with it on the brightest setting. It drove my nuts. xD I had no idea until I tried drawing something for someone and they said the colors were far too light... Then I looked at it on my fiance's computer and was shocked to see the huge difference.

Anyway, sorry for rambling, but in short - I'm happy with the picture. Necromancer is a very dark and gloomy profession.

Yeh. It's pretty irritating at times you have to zoom in like 400% on somethings to get it accurate. (although that may just be me not knowing quite what to do yet ) Hopefully the tablet will make it a little easier

Oh btw does anyone have any brush sets they would recommend? I just realised yesterday there are different brushes you can download and use. derp.

I knew only one other person who could do such beautiful work with a mouse, but sadly, I haven't seen her do any art for quite some time now. It always blows my mind to see such things done with a mouse, though, when I can barely even get used to a tablet pen. xD

That's always an easily overlooked problem when it comes to doing work digitally. Not too sure if there's a way to "normalize" your visual settings to match a certain standard that's used widely. Anyways, it's a good idea to always check your monitor's settings every now and then.

As for brushes, I suggest also playing around with the sub-settings in the brush menu. They can make a lot of cool effects like repeating patterns, or more natural strokes.

Aside from that, keep up the nice work.
