BWgreyscale for the scan, and The Blooming Effect Textures for the texture.
 Please excuse the texture part, I was just experimenting and I was too lazy to make it look good. So it's a bit of a mess. Colourization (createBlog-friendly version)  Colourization (larger; thumbnail):  Original in Colour Original in grayscale |

She's not wearing gloss on her lips, so her upper lip is going to be more solid-looking. If I bumped up the contrast there it would look a bit strange, but I'll try it and see how it comes out.
I used that font because, well. It's pretty. That's a side thing, anyway. I don't want you guys to think that I won't accept criticism but can we all stay focused on the colourization aspect? Really, I rushed majorly on everything besides the actual colourization, so...yeah. =\ Hah. But thank you all so so much. =]

Heh, thanks. The font's called Little Days.
Er, for the eyeshadow - I made a new layer, made a base of the eyeshadow of a low saturation of blue on the eye, and set it to colour. - Using the lasso tool set to around 15-20 px, I selected parts of the overlay layer and change the hue and saturation around to get my pink-ish/purple-y part. - For the yellow, I set the feathering on the lasso tool to about 5, selected the part of the eye, coloured it with a low saturated yellow, and set it to overlay so it would pop some more. |

That looks really awsome. The eyes are amazing. The skin is amazing.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you make the color of the skin so perfect?

QUOTE(wind&fire @ Jan 17 2006, 6:01 PM) i just thought that it looked like a different texture than that of the bottom lip...  It might be because of the setting I set it to. I'll check it out when I'm not totally lazy. =p I'll just go through a simple rundown of how I do the skin (it works better with a lower-contrast original): - take the original image and colourize to a low saturation of an orangey-red. - duplicate that layer, set the layer option to "overlay" or "soft light". - using "Color Balance", I fiddle around with all the things on there to get a more realistic skin tone At this point you'll see that the lighter areas of the skin are a bit gray, so I do this: - Using the eyedropper tool, I'll select a colour from the current colourized skin, a mid-tone shade. - Create a new layer - Using the lasso tool, I'll set the feathering to around 20px (depending on the size of the subject), select the lighter, grayer areas of the skin. - Fill in with the colour you eyedropped in the new layer - Set the layer option to "Colour" and sometimes I use "Soft Light" Yeah...if it looks weird then change the colour and saturation around to make it blend in to the original better. If some parts are too saturated, then I'll select using the lasso tool again, set to 10-20 px for feathering, then either use color balance to adjust or hue/saturation adjustment. Yeah so that's pretty much it. Then all the makeup and stuff, but that's really quite easy compared to the skin. That looks oh-so confusing...sorry. |
