Before & After

Here are some examples of the many character manips and repaints I've done. Almost every image I work with requires some touch-up, anywhere between a little color, contrast, or saturation adjustment all the way to a full-blown "extreme makeover."

I've notated the major points for each comparison below. You're more than welcome to leave comments, and some techniques have been outlined in my "Graphics Tutorials" links to the left. If you have any questions, you can leave a comment or shoot me an email. :)
