something interesting for you guys to look at: same pic, two different scanners.

So I told you I'm currently using a different scanner. well, Hubby had another scanner, some gigantic super pro (and super old) photoscanner. we are talking Scuzzy Connector old, like holy shot. That things weights more than me...and I wish I could get rid of it. But it was really expensive when my husband bought it and he swears by the scan quality....which he's not wrong, tbh.

so we did two test scans, to make sure the darn thing is even still compatible (Pro tip. If you have an old scanner and no driver for your modern computer, check out VUE SCAN by HAMRICK. It's absolutely worth your money if you don't wish to replace your old scanner. just saying ;))   

The first scan is by my (fairly new) flatbed scanner, the second one by my husband's giganto-photoscanner. It's funny how the colors vary but also how nicely the photoscanner picks up the holo sticker...guess that justifies us keeping it ^^" Also, the new scanner really captures the texture of the paper. while the old scanner gives everything a smooth look....and I still don't know how to feel about that detail ^^"

About the art itself. ...this was fun. I found my old Dr PH Martin liquid watercolors. And while making up my mind if I should keep them or not, I decided to play around with them for a little. So I did a couple of splash pieces and then drew over them. I admit, this one was a bit of a pain because the watercolors were always getting back through the posca pen ink of my makers, which I layered on top. It created some pretty cool effects on Gal's hair. But I didn't want that in her face. so I had to layer...and layer...and layer paint until everything was opaque enough.

I think it turned out pretty funky. probably try this again, soon ^^

On a different note, would you be open for more Gal-Axy themed art on patreon. I know it's still a fairly new project I'd like to give my priorities to 'Kitten', since most of you are here for this. But if the request is there, I wouldn't mind dropping stuff like this once in awhile.
