Represents: Play

You know what? The more I paint these card artworks, the more rabid my dislike for my scanner becomes. It eats purples and blues, and anything that has a range of dark to light seems to always be a little wrong in the brightness/contrast side of things.

That aside, there's a kinda wonky cuteness I find appealing about this one. Something's not quite right with her face, but I cannot keep re-working it or it's just going to end up messy and probably worse ...

So ... I'm leaving it alone. She's cute, and she's playful, and she's finished.

Please meet Hebe :)

If it's not working use Violence and Vaseline, and if that does not work - use more Violence

I know what's wrong with her face ... She needs fangs and glowing red eyes, that way she can give people the Hebe-jeebies! :D

Kidding, kidding, I like it a lot - the playful expression is just right. :)

Oh, I think she's gorgeous. I love the hue of that lavender dress and who wouldn't want to play with dragonflies and moths? I'm sorry the transfer of the pic up to dA and your scanner drained her lol. That always seems to happen, no matter what, eh?

Lovely as always. :D

My scanner hates blues and purple as well. My digital camera is the same on some blues and purples.

*hates scanners* Yes, unfortunately it is usually the case, however I didn't have quite as much of a problem with my old epson scanner as I do now with the canon. The epson still ate purple, but anything and everything else was left alone. This canoscan is like the gremlin of scanners. It's a resource hog and I don't think I have ever been able to scan something and have it match any of the colours.

Thank you :) Yes, most are notorious on blues and purples. I really wonder why though. What is it about this hue that makes it so hard to capture accurately?

I don't know. I should ask my Dad. Then I'll get a whole lecture on cameras. LOL
