Need help with Graham's face

[Blackthorne]

You know, I always think you can bend the rules of lighting for dramatic effect - though there may not be any "natural" sources of light that would throw up those shadows on Graham, as a dramatic effect - it can work.  Often in films and stage plays, the lighting scheme is changed to show a change in situation or emotion - often without a "real world" reason.

I love the last version of Graham's face! it looks much more convincing.

Regardless lighting issues, to me the way the head is connected to the body still looks awkward.

I have to admit, Rosella's kind of hot ;-)

It's all sickly good.

Here's my quick way:


You can grab a selection or just grab an entire layer. Copy it, and drop it into a new file.

Go to Image - Mode - Indexed Color. Then just choose your settings.
Then drop it back into the original image.

I think Sierra used quite a bit of dithering back in the day, but it depends on your style! I'd recommend a low or no dither as well.

BTW, your Graham is looking quite nice!

Here's another quick way - use this (free) Photoshop plugin:
