Artist's Comments

I saw this amazing beautiful old picture [link] on :iconpostcardsstock: and it came to me that this photograph just had to amazingly captive if it had some more colour. I had never tried to make a sepia into color but I gave it a try. Just let me know what you think of it and what I can improve.

It's Nice to be Important but it's more Important to be Nice :nod:

Wow, worked out great Blue! :) The skin is maybe a hint too pink, but it adds to a doll-like look. But for the rest, the choice of colour seems perfect to me.

Just one more little thing... Are you allowed to sell it as a print, since it's partly some one else's work? I'd understand if they didn't quite like that. :/
:iconbleupearl:
No, it's over 70 years old so I can do with it what I want, at least that is if I understood the meaning of plublic domain rigt. But if she doesn't want me to make a print out of it than I just taken it down again, it's just for fun.

And I agree with you on the pink, the colours where hard to chose because I had no reference to work with, this one came out best. I will try and improve that if I colour an other one. :D

Wow, that one looks really nice! A bit more dreamy than mine and the whole photograph seems softer. It's nice to compare the two :D
