Ace of Wands

The Root of the Powers of Earth.

And the last of the Aces!

If you remember my original sketch, you might be wondering what happened to her cock. It's still there; it's just really, really subtle.

I just came back to this entry (via the day/date printed in the corner of the image -- this kind of 'connectivity' of your cards to the journal entries where they were created/presented utterly rocks!) to do some color research while fixing a problem. Check your email for details on it.

FYI -- your 'subtlety' worked in the printed version, but you'll have to be careful on how you light it! Lit right, you don't notice the Ace's Wand at all... but stop and look at it under at least halfway decent lighting, and it's definitely right there. Gives you something to find when you gaze at it instead of just glance past, thus removing the whole 'OMG-peener!' effect you were trying to avoid. The only way to force it to stand out is to backlight the image (which still works pretty cool).

And yeah, just for fun, try converting it to RGB then hypering up the green channel and dropping the blacks down. The result is pretty stunning, if not what you intended. Don't worry, found that problem, fixed it. :) But in general your cards do look pretty neat hypersaturated.

The gallery should definitely be well-lit enough that people will be able to see the wand if they look. Although it would be kinda funny if someone bought this one without noticing the cock, until much later - even better if someone they're trying to seduce is the one to point it out! *snicker*

And HOLY FUCK OW GREEEEEEN. I wonder if there'll end up being a run of the final deck that ends up oversaturated. It'll be the EXTRA NAILS IN YOUR EYES edition.
