The male werewolf protagonist is way more of a licentious bad boy, his wereleopardess girlfriend more volatile. It's a blast to explore.
Meanwhile, I have a model's photograph that suits the look of my mid '90's era rebellious hair band holdover of an aspiring rock star (whew - that was a mouthful).
I know his look wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but I adore him. Yet I found myself wanting to toy with his image, make him appear more ethereal. But how? After a quick search I found a free month's trial of Corel Painter 2017.
It's pricey and I'm not sure I could justify spending the money. All the same, with no kickback from the company, I want to give a shout-out to Corel. The product is amazing and a live chat with customer service proved fast, friendly, and informative.
Warning: half naked man ahead. Probably NSFW, so I'll make you scroll down if you want to see...

On the left is the lovely model au naturel. I could eat him with a spoon just as he is...

To the right is my tweaked image. I'm just tickled this old gal progressed so far learning the software in three days, but is the blue too much like a merman? Let me know what you think (as long as you like him ~grin~).
'Nicky' was very patient as I lavished attention upon one nipple |

I'm sure the model enjoyed every tickle! I use three free photo editors, each of which offers me something I want. I'm too mean to shell out!
ReplyDeleteHa! I like the way you think all around. And your blog always looks amazing. I should take lessons.
DeleteGreat job! Did you say you used COREL Painter? I remember Corel from the 90s...I didn't realize they still made software!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That means a lot from someone so gifted. This is indeed the same software company. My partner recognized the name, which was new to me (I'm always behind the curve on tech).
DeleteOooh nice! And the changes you made really notched it up. I've never used Corel.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm having fun playing.
DeleteNice job Darla. I have not used Corel but I have Photoshop and an older program called Photo Explosion. It is fun working in there.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've never heard of Photo Explosion. A part of me wants to have software permanently available without the hefty price of this lovely Corel product. I may have to look that up.
DeleteThank you for the kind word!
Nice work. Just a little tint change is what I see. Better than I could do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a compliment! You amaze me with your incredible knitting projects, not to mention being an awesome substitute teacher.
DeleteYou did great. I get in contact with cover people for my authors and I know how much they charge. Its awesome that you did this yourself!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, my dear! Your service is invaluable, by the way.
DeleteHe looks good to me ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you for weighing in with a kind word. It means a lot.

ReplyDeleteI hate when I mean to reply and instead post an actual comment. ~rolls eyes~ I'm glad nobody has stated the opinion that the blue highlights on his abs, etc. are too reminiscent of a water sprite.
