Well, here is my first go (actually about the 5th) I had problems with the gradiant coming out WAYYY to opaque.

[Creatures]

looks good, but when you zoom in you can see that the black isnt black at all, did you use Brightness/contrast? maybe you used it too much

Creatures

[Siliconjunkie]

Nope, didnt touch the brightness or contrast.

[Creatures]

well ok then it's something with the gradient map, was the color on the left side #000000 ?

Creatures

[Siliconjunkie]

Yes, in RGB it was 0 0 0

[Creatures]

strange, you cut it out, desturate it, put gradient over it and it turned out like this?

hm let me think

Creatures instead of using mask have you ever tried soft lighting the eyes? I'll do one real quick for an example and edit it in.

[Creatures]
