Marilyn Monroe, colorization Options

[iheartjohn]

I made two : one with effects, and the other is simply colorized. Comment, criticize.

Original | With Effects

Her hair is an... unnatural shade of blonde o_O Question: Did you set the coloring to "color" or "color dodge"? It could just be the images. The makeup colours clash. The eyeshadow seems orange, the lips are dark red, and the blue is bubblegum pink. Also, I just noticed, her blush runs all the way to the side of her mouth? Try lowering the opacity of the blush, and MOVING the blush away from her mouth. Eyeshadow is okay though, except for the color.

I'm not a colourization expert though, so what I'm saying MAY NOT be totally valid.

*on to the effects one* Well, whatever effect you used, please don't ever use it again. It's really terrible. It makes the image look REALLY dark, and of a terrible quality. Everything becomes obscure when you use it.

Is that scriptina I see as the font? OH NOEZ! It wouldnt be too bad if you had used the font right, but it's the WAY you used the font. that makes me think "oh noez!" Firstly, the color is too dark and blends in with the background. Secondly, the drop-shadow effect you used is also pretty bad. It's just SO FAR away from the text. Stick with the colourized image without the effects, and use like... Porcelain or Carpenter ITC as a font choice instead.

Overall, the colourization is pretty okay. Just the effects version = nono.
