The Mountain and the Tree

New pictures up, courtesy of nou kindly agreeing to lie still and not do anything for awhile. I've started using Flickr for ease of use now, and may start migrating the older pictures across from the Deviantart page eventually.

It's impressive to see the amount of difference taking the pictures under a daylight bulb makes - compare 'Skin and ink 2' (normal domestic bulb) with 4 and 5 (energy-saver blue-spectrum daylight bulb). I'm tempted to say I prefer the domestic one for taking pictures, despite daylight bulbs being much easier on the eye and the SAD.

The whiteboard marker definitely seems to be the way to go, if not using actual paint - it fades gracefully, and the pattern was still definitely visible a few days later despite normal bathing, but can be removed with a bit of scrubbing if need be.

[Edit: though these two photos should be SFW, the page linked to has thumbnails for a couple that may well not be.]
