Description
I apologise for the hugeness of this file!This isn't really a "tutorial" per se but it's the process by which I do a big piece of art...for the sake of time, it's a bit rushed, especially the background. Hence, there are tons of problems with the actual piece itself. HOWEVER! Please to be ignoring these in lieu of the process!
Also do not laugh at my cheesy flames. I seriously have no clue how to paint fire. /sigh One of these days I'm going to get it right. But observation doesn't do me much good, as anything that burns bright enough doesn't last very long and brings the fire marshals down on my apartment building.
(Coe is my draenei priest from WoW.)

You can fiddle with the base colors in two ways - color balance, and hue/saturation. both are under the adjustments menu. Hue/saturation lets you change ALL the colors, so you can play around with that and see where it takes you; it also lets you pull the saturation up or down, and increase the lightness or darkness (though Levels is better for that). Color Balance lets you increase the amount of a certain color in your piece. For example if a piece has too much blue, you can increase the red or yellow to balance it out. Generally, for quick editing the colors, I use Color Balance.

I'm actually not sure how much they are! I got mine as a gift five years ago. It's the gift that keeps giving
If you're scanning, I recommend putting your line layer on the top, set on "multiply", and just painting underneath it.

Highly helpful and unlike tutorials made by some very good artists, it's actually followable.

That's a crazy name for a server O.o
What have you got? I have a 69 hunter, 38 mage and a 42 priest.

I've only been playing a month, so my highest is a level 35 (almost 36) Human Paladin and I have a level.... 14 NightElf Hunter.
Yes, I am Alliance for now... but I will make a Horde eventually.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You got to 35 in a MONTH?
I guess it's possible but it takes me ages to get characters up...
I play alliance too, I don't know why but I just can't play Horde. I think it's the people...they seem mostly younger types who are more interested in competition.

Maybe my server has higher exp? o.O Or maybe I'm just lucky.... I did lots of quests! I recently finished the Missing Diplomat one.
I also joined a guild that had been around for awhile and got promoted to Officer within a week and a half because I helped people with quests and gave a ton of loot I found to the bank toon.
And yeah... I've neglected playing Horde because I don't want to be associated with the asshats who come over to westfall to camp the Griffin NPC and kill anyone passing by. I look forward to when I'm high level enough to go to those areas and kill them for it.
But, to my server's credit... I've had plenty of instances where I goofed around with and even semi-teamed up with or tanked some Horde. I'm a pretty passive player, and don't bother anyone unless they attack me first or target lowbies and I'm big enough to kick their ass.
