ugh I know

I have an LCD screen, and I'm right next to a window so if it's a cloudy day the lighting and contrast I get varies wildly

I don't know how I can figure if what's visible on my screen won't be as clear on others though.

figuring out a design for Olin when he doesn't have his outer robe on



he's an advisor, so I wanted some elements of nobility in his wardrobe (such as the fancy belt and bracers) but for the most part keep them kind of understated.

Are those wide bits below his shirt supposed to be part of his boots? It looks so in the left, colored version, but not in the sketch on the right.

page #50 is up

in which we move away from familiar perspective.

I'm experimenting with different ways to draw trees.

I'll try to shoehorn a torch or other non-ambient light source into every page until dawn

or you could just increase the gamma of the image.

There's plenty of ways to convey darkness without actually making the image too dark to see without pumping up the monitor brightness..

These are very dark. It's realistic and artistically very nice, so you shouldn't change it, but you probably should come up with somehting to make it easier to see, especially against that white background.

I like them. The whole tree sort of looks like one big leaf, but in a surprisingly fitting way.

I agree with Armok. I like the tone that the darkness sets and I think if that is contrasted with a light source that the party begins to carry then some exciting illuminating discoveries or losses of a party member to the night could arise. I'm picturing the scene in The Hobbit in which Bilbo is chasing the Wood Elves parties in the wilderness, only to be ran from each time he approaches the elven torches.

I can't change the background colour unless I pay for a premium membership at smackjeeves. and if I'm going to put money towards this, a better option would just be to buy a hosting site.

maaaaybe once I've got chapter two finished.

If you're willing to sink so low as to use Bravenet or something similar, that would let you design the site on your own for free...
