HP Tarot card progress - The High Priestess

Hey y'all with different monitor settings. ::cough[livejournal.com profile] boggybcough:: Is this too dark (or monochrome) for you, or is it okay? Just wanna double check before I carry on with these colors.



Also I'm starting to wonder if this is maybe looking a little not-particularly-Harry Potter-esque. Any issue there?

I'll give my monitor some time to warm up before replying...

Right, it's had long enough. It's not nearly as dark is it looked at first, though there's a couple of bits which could do with being a little brighter. I think the only bit which really could do with being brighter is her hair - it gets lost in the almost-black cloth.

(My monitor is likely set darker than most. It was "calibrated" some time ago using the test images for Riven, and so has contrast at 100% and brightness at 30%. It's also an old CRT, so the black level is a lot darker than on a LCD. I keep thinking I should recalibrate it, but just about every test card has a different recommendation for where the black and white limits should be)
