Again, finally!!!

Yet another project that I had been sitting on for a while, in the good old days before the knowledge that I could lock transparent pixels. I think this came out a lot better than the Clanyad one, but I really don't have the energy to go back and work on Clanyad again. I can't even stand looking at it anymore, so I moved onto this Naruto chapter coloration, one of a hundred things I started as a way to learn Photoshop.

Somewhere along the line on this one, I made the mistake of dropping the resolution to 150 by some stupid mistake instead of the usual 300 dpi. Rather than up the resolution again and clean the whole thing up, I just pushed through. This was another thing I approached with too high expectations, so I figured if I don't get it done in a couple of days, I'll NEVER get it done. I pretty much just had flats laid out from before, so I did most of this in two days. I think I'm getting the hang of Photoshop now.

So, here is the line of progress:


Original vs. First few hours in my renewed attempt vs. Final
