But I am quite awake ...
As usual.
Did a test on coloring a short pencil test shot of Phido. Didn't look good. Left it in its pencil state instead. Learned my lesson!
Put the first pencil shot of Tack on a background, using Photoshop. Did two versions of the shot. Looks unusual but nice. Might help lessen the blow of cutting to a pencil test that early.
Chris Boniface continues to work on his restorations. His first version of Arabian Knight looked rather "blobby" - he'd overdone the Maximum/Minimum sort of filters to reduce the grain, and the image started to warp. He's toned that down now and I'm hopeful. I'm having him look at darkening the image a bit overall, to lessen the blow of the blown out highlights that appear in some shots.
The real test will be what kind of quality he can squeeze out of the workprint! THAT I'm excited about.
