Another artist pointed this out to me, actually thought it couldn’t be “that” off.
Did some color calibration. (Apparently couldn’t trust my own eyes or monitors since all three were showing things differently even my cintiq. Bought an X-Rite Colormunki to keep profiles more up to date and to take my office room’s ambient lighting into consideration.)
Looking at older colors and rechecking the most recent stuff. Holy shit, the contrast, and darks are WAY darker than they should be. Smolder’s gear is almost pitch black, kitsune’s hair is almost the same and shading is far darker than intended. (that shouldn’t be the case)
Gonna have to recolor a few things. gah.
Probably a good time as any to consider getting around to actually doing ref sheets of my characters so color picking will always remain accurate / I can tell when things are a lil fucked.
(also a lil reminder for others, color calibrate your monitors often. maybe)
