felicia day, elven assassin
i loved felicia day in dr horrible's sing-along blog.. who am i kidding, i loved dr horrible's sing-along blog *period* (view act one, act two, and act three online). so when i saw this picture on kotaku of f.d. as an elven assassin, i knew i must turn it into an epic wallpaper.
after firing up photoshop, i altered the mood of the image by enhancing the colors (blues greens); selectively softening and blurring (the grasses and weeds are too sharp and distracting in the original picture); brightening the skin (also known as dodging) and giving it more glow; adding noise (a little durtiness pls!); and umm, falling in love.
that's post processing for you..
and here's the wallpaper (2000x1333 jpg, 970k)
if i did more work on it, i would try to create even more of a painterly look. also, i hope the colors and contrast are alright.. my laptop monitor has a strange display profile.
