Mixed Signals - Remastered (Patreon)

This was a hard one to work with, mainly because it was one of my first images and I did a lot of things wrong. First of all it was noisy as heck, so much so that the AI Denoiser couldn't handle it, so I had to resort to traditional by-hand methods which luckily didn't damage the image quality too much. Second, I had blown out the contrast so it took some tweaking to get everything back to normal.
In the original I had wanted it to be a night scene so I used the "Shoot Blue for Night" technique, this time around I wanted to see if I could make it seem like night without changing the hue and and desaturating it too much. I also smoothed out her scars, perhaps I went a little overboard with that.

I hope you guys don't mind me foisting these old images on you all the time, but I'm still not quite healthy enough to to get to the full time three images a week schedule without doing so. I also have a bit of an artist block at the moment which compounds that problem. Not so much that I don't have ideas for pictures, but following through on them in an interesting way. :/
