Can’t sleep. New brushes

The role of the highwayman will be played by Courtney Cox. Apparently.

Messing around in Photoshop and trying out some new brushes since I took an accidental nap that threw off my entire night.

This is the 8bitartist Highwayman’s girlfriend, I suppose. It’s nice that they can share a closet.

I have a bad tendency to use the same brush for all tasks and all materials, and I’m trying to change that. I created a much coarser brush for the skin shading, a very smooth, airbrush-y one for the eyes and hair, and a chunky flat brush for the “cloth” pieces. Still needs some tweaking, but I like the textural variety. And it didn’t take long: this represents about 1.5 hours of casual Photoshop, including making the brushes. Can’t complain.
