They're dropping like flies, people! Did I accidentally bomb my website with cyanide...?

Please remember that if you have a specific idea of what you want your sig to be -- or what you DON'T want your sig to be -- share it with me! If I make you a sig and you don't like it, let me know! I don't mind making another!
Communication is key...I want to make sure you're happy with the end result. If you're not happy, I haven't done my job. Give me a chance to fix it.

Queue update: Kaelwend is back on

Gorgeous as always!

Here are my cheeky (no pun intended!) new sig and avatar for the run-up to St. Patrick's Day Brew Day:

I'm giving hair repainting a shot...it's definitely interesting! I tried Aeyahna's hair tutorial a few days ago and just wound up with a big mess -- entirely my fault, NOT her tutorial's!!
I remembered that Lunna had also posted a tutorial a while back, so I dug it up and gave it a shot. Her technique is very similar to what I've been doing with existing hair already...lots of smudging.
Here's the result. It's definitely NOT perfect, but it was a good exercise and I'm not totally embarassed with the end product.
The original:


The repaint:

For just messing around, I think it's pretty ok.

not bad!

Do you use mouse or pentab? Brush or Pen tool?

Thanks!
I'm using an Intuos3 with the Brush and Smudge tools in Paint Shop Pro.

Thats the same tablet ive got

I love how the hair looks so thick and lush, and the shading is terriffic! My only critique is that it looks a little bit jagged.. maybe, I dont know if thats the right word hehe >< Maybe doing long strokes with a pen tool set on like, .4 or .5 in psp ( I love psp too) over the top would make it look a bit smoother. Even without that nitpicking though its purty!

Thanks. It was just a quickie job...the only cleanup I did was where hair was overlapping her ear, cheek, neck, and chest. I'd normally smooth the outer edges and take a lot more time to smooth and elongate the hair strand strokes...make more wispy strands instead of chunky bits...and not make the top of her head look so big.

HI! I just wanted to say that I am a HUGE FAN of your work... I love your website and the beautiful work you do with screenshot manips. So clean and concise. I can stand to learn a lot from you!!!

Aww, thanks!
