Oh I am so happy you like it! Your stock is pretty awesome and you always have the best costumes. It seems you can pull off a lot of different looks. Thank you for taking the time to let me know what you thought of it. I did just update the deviation because I felt there was some minor adjustments that I wasn't happy with after posting. I added a little more lighting to both your stock, the cat, and added some deeper lighting around the subjects. Thanks again for the support!

Woow, some spooky stuff. I love how well you use the colors in this, nicely done. You could've added a little more highlights on her arms and dress but other from that, it was well done.
...thumbs up for the brush pack, that's the only set I use in my artworks

Amanda-Kulp In reply to JayGraphixx [2017-03-18 18:15:51 +0000 UTC]

Yes! I am actually currently editing it more because I felt her lighting was off especially in her face. It seems too dark to me. I appreciate your feedback very much! That is my favorite kind of support.

Okay so I updated the photo after I edited it some more. I added more glow to the ground, some slight highlights to the cat, added more highlights to her dress(which I am not good at by the way so I did my best), and I brightened up her face more since it looked way too dark for the lamp to be shining on it.

JayGraphixx In reply to Amanda-Kulp [2017-03-18 22:33:43 +0000 UTC]

Ah, it looks much better. I can see where you've added some strokes on her dress, and her face is much more clearer.

Amanda-Kulp In reply to JayGraphixx [2017-03-18 22:43:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! It still seems the ground around them isnt lit enough. My picture looks a tad different in Photoshop than it does on DA. It looks more contrasted in Photoshop. I wonder if when uploading to DA it alters the resolution.

JayGraphixx In reply to Amanda-Kulp [2017-03-18 22:53:17 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. I think DA compresses the image in a way that reduces the quality, I don't really know. My works are much clearer in Photoshop than on DA.
