Your opinion.

I'm doing a survey about 3 pictures before bringing them to EF 17.
Would you pay for these prints as an original lossless high-res version print 30 Euros per each, and would you even eagerly see at your wall?

Mortis Rex
Osaris
Also if you have any clue about why printing services make darker outputs than it seems from the screen? That just started annoying me really hard today.

Also, I'd like my own creation out of you later. :P
no wrorries, then the comission can still be done meh thinks... <.<
Altho 30 euros is more than i'd be willing to pay. More around 10-15.
Printers use the subtractive color model. In my trade, we call it CMYK, the K standing for black. The primary subtractive colors are Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. All colors look the way they look because they absorb different portions and amounts of visible light -- what we see when we look at them is, basically, the rest of the visible light that is reflected, and this is what we see in everything around us. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are relatively light colors, so they don't absorb much. But if you combine two of them, you wind up with a color that absorbs more light, and is thus darker -- magenta and yellow make red, cyan and yellow make green, and cyan and magenta make blue. Combine all three, and you get a dark brown. Add black, and you can create a myriad of different hues using different combinations of the four inks.
Computer screens, on the other hand, use light to create color. This is called the additive model, or RGB, the primary additive colors being Red, Green, and Blue, which are the three secondary colors in the subtractive model -- the whole thing works in reverse here. You combine red and green light, you get yellow; you combine red and blue light, you get magenta; you combine green and blue light, you get cyan -- cyan, magenta, and yellow being the primary subtractive colors. Combine red, green, and blue light, and you get white. The more light you use, the brighter the result.
So if your printouts look dull compared to what you're seeing on your screen, I wouldn't blame the printer. I'd blame the subtractive model...
