Calm down every one. No I'm not.
But anyways, art news!
So the old laptop had to go under the knife yesterday (the screwdriver to be exact). She has Lung Cancer- in PC terms thats; Dust-Bunny-in-the-Heatsink-itus, or something?- I'm not a doctor. Anyways, I screwed her apart and tore the old gal down to her mortherboard and declogged everything and put every thing back together alomost with out a hitch (forgot to plug in the trackpad-though I thought I did-, I don't use it anyways). Now thats fixed. Every things tiptop fine.
I printed off my last full coloured artwork of, the turtle and the girl, just to see how it looks in my hands. Annd not bad. Could be better, her body was starting to look a little too crome like which is not at all the look I want. But then it hit me. I've never calibrated my monitor before. All my colour art looks a little washed out to me, same with all photos and media.
Being in PC-hardwear repair mode (which is the fun mode), I gave it a go and eye-balled the calibration softwear tune. Beautiful. Contrast is rich, blacks are dark and inky, colours are better blanced. I Love it.
But then I looked back at my own art. Holy fuck is it ever awful xD
And as always.. My watcher/fav-ers of my attempt to make decent art. Your awesome! <3

The colors may have been a little washed out, but they were still lovely~
To be honest, though, I kind of liked it like that. :3
Yeah same, it was just some drawings were extreme with their variation that's been slowing beating me to death with a stick
if you could turn that feature off? maybe you'll have a better shot at blancing the two out.
but I'm not expert on the subject, I'm not even sure if thats how it works. Just my two cents from observing my own screens =P
It doesn't let me adjust the color from the monitor its self. Instead, I have to do it from my pc and I can't dial it in correctly from there. It's not like the colors are completely quirked out, but they're just off enough to where if I tried to color something on it, it would come out looking weird on a normal monitor.
Ha ha thought tbh, I thought the colors were fine, but then again my monitor makes everything too bright anyways (the brightness is turned down as low as it can go and its still bright, I have one of those polarized 3D monitors which are inherently darker so they went overboard trying to combat that)
