In re: the extra yellow tones: have you tried adjusting the white balance on your camera? Are you doing any corrective work on the photograph in a Photoshop-type program afterwards to decrease the yellow by bringing up the blue a bit?
My reaction to piece is predictable, I'd imagine.Was that an evil teddy bear or an evil girl--or both?
That is totally color balanced in Photoshop. Otherwise it comes out ridiculously yellow. I usually use the auto balancer filter, because I have never quite gotten the sublteties of Color Balancing really off works (I can usually tweak it fairly well).
Flash photography cannot work on most art stuff, because of the sheer violence of the flash - it usually interacts in unintended ways with the medium. Mucho glareo.
Your reaction is interesting. Never would have considered that angle. Thank you for the feedback :)
You know, I am actually beaming at your compliment of the stab wound. It was the *last* detail I worked on, so I was *really* nervous about fucking up everything.
And I couldnt get the blood color correct with any basic marker, so there was a lot of color experimentation and blending marker colors on that live. (The blend brushtip on the markers is huge, so I was extra paranoid)
I wish I were more knowledgable to be give you more problem-soliving ideas. It must be frustrating to not have your art presented as it is off the screen. It's my understanding that's it's near impossible to do so--that becomes very clear when I have the pleasure of viewing even something that is not my taste--American Gothic, for example--at the Art Institute. So, it seems we must find you a gallery to properly display your work.
And...you are double welcome. :)
Thank you for explaining some of the process from your point of view.
The stab wound is the first thing I noticed weirdly. This picture to me is of a girl who is saying goodbye to her past, her childhood... and the teddy represents her past life, and it's gone.. not died as such but most definately in the past... she looks upon it with sadness but also with a knowing kind of "i am moving on" kinda look...

And, the stab wound is very nicely rendered.
