Another lovely photo of Keira Knightley as Eliza Bennet in Pride & Prejudice.

 

 

 

I fiddled and fiddled with this picture and I'm not sure I'm finished with it—it doesn't look like I did much other than lighten it, but I went many different routes before I decided on this faded, delicate look. I definitely wanted to keep one side of the face a cooler color than the other side, but it's very, very subtle.

Another picture of Richard Armitage from an unidentified show. (Well, at least I don't know what it's from!)

 

This was originally just going to be a small icon/avatar/sig graphic for my "sister" site, but I can't just leave a picture alone—gotta tinker with it. I liked what was happening, so I kept on painting over, changing colors, and this is the end result!

A lot of what would be called "retouching" was done here. The displeased frown expression she had (in the forehead) was softened. The shadowed side of her face was changed to a cool blue/purple, while the other side retained its warm tones. Other minor adjustments were made, and some "painterly" filters selectively applied.
