Fanart Fun .. or not!

I knew for quite some time that my old monitor tube was slowly dying, which isn't a good thing for a fanartist *lol* The monitor got darker and darker and as a result my art got brighter and brighter and when I got a new monitor this christmas, I was quite shocked how overexposed and washed out my art looked *sigh* I favoured heavy grunge textures the last couple of months and those just don't take overexposing well.
Since I love my SN art to death, I took the time to re-work and adjust all my Supernatural art (well, apart from the banner sets, there is a limit even to my obsession *g*). The light pieces naturally didn't pose a problem, but some of the dark pieces needed a heavy do-over. A whole lot only needed adjustments in brightness/contrast and colour though and were all set again very fast.
So I had a real fun day today *lol*

Date: 2006-12-31 10:54 am (UTC)I wanted 2 caps from episode 4!
a) After they visit the bar owners club for the first time you see Gene and Sam walk along the canal, beautiful lit scene .. a couple of those would be nice
b) a little later you see Sam in the bar over a drink, depressed about the bend cops and him being corrupted, it's the cap from my icon *points upwards*
Thanks in advance, hon! I hope I can make something out of it :D
