#reshade wips

[maxfaiden]

WIP... in addition to working out reshade settings and my editing process for Keystone, since everyone exists as their future selves right now, I'm working to turn the clock back, which means getting some folks back into their past living situations and deciding if the builds are fine as they are, need some tweaking, or actually need to be (re)built.

this is Quela's place, by the way; the one with the white trim. other than leaving all the stairs where they are, I've gutted it and now I'm redoing it as a duplex.

WIP... this is way too blue for Keystone, but I'll add it to the arsenal possibly to be used for something else... and I think I know what...

I summoned Al to Copper Kettle so he could join in the reshade testing, but he showed up half dressed, so I banished him to Apotheca until I was done.

And while I was not pleased with Al's appearance, this dude in the background definitely was...

WIP... it's winter in live mode... it's also that holiday...

WIP... I forgot I had this in drafts from when I was still working on Quela's apartment.

WIP... it's the little things that drive me crazy. the differences are so subtle, but that subtlety is what makes all the difference! I don't want my greens to be too yellow or my teals/aquas to be too blue. I need my browns to be warm, but not too red, or too orange. I need my grayscales to be crisp with no color aberrations--no brownish blacks or bluish whites. I need complexions that aren't washed out and maintain their undertones. I need a lot, but I'm almost there...

WIP...

#00 off

#07 [tropical] (+) very warm (-) removes too much green

#08 [temperate] (+) warm, nice wood tones (-) not aqua-friendly, muddles complexions

#17 [continental] (+) distinguishable complexions, aqua-friendly (-) might be a tad too cool

now to work on the levels without destroying the existing highlights

WIP... have some willow creek at night

this is a max-ified mash up of @pictureamoebae's foundation and the moods multiLUTs and @mellindi's summer pop (which also uses amoebae's multiLUT)

I'm using summer pop as a base because I wanted something that was specifically for warmer complexions, but if anyone has suggestions for alternatives, do share, options are great

I know most people want to get rid of the banding, but I like it... in this shot, at least, though I wonder if i can manage to keep it when all is said and done
