(The Hellverine and Laura Kinney ongoing should be next month!)

NYX #5

Written by Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing, art by Francesco Mortarino, main cover by Sara Pichelli

"They’ve been fired, arrested, thrown out, beaten and betrayed: NYC is putting MS. MARVEL, WOLVERINE, ANOLE, PRODIGY and SOPHIE CUCKOO through the wringer. But there’s no time to rest: A riot’s brewing where the machinations of THE QUIET COUNCIL and the hatred of the TRUTHSEEKERS will come to an electric collision – for the fate of every mutant in the city!"

Wolverine #3

Written by Saladin Ahmed, art and main cover by Martin Coccolo

"DEPARTMENT H GOES HUNTING!

• Canada’s DEPARTMENT H has their sights trained once more on WOLVERINE! Years ago, they played a role in WEAPON X and LOGAN’s first assignment, but what else are they hunting now that mutants are hated and feared more than ever?

• Meanwhile, Wolverine’s UNLIKELY ALLY may have just killed an innocent…and OLD ENEMIES of Wolverine’s gather as more sinister machinations unfurl…

• A key issue, as the ALL-NEW villain moving against Wolverine comes into sharper focus…"

You know what people don’t talk about often enough? Playing catch up in life after spending your teens or early 20s suicidally depressed. There’s so many more layers than just being able to say “I don’t want to die anymore.”

The difficulty in academia or a career after spending years thinking you wouldn’t be alive long enough for any of it to matter.

The exhaustion that comes from self awareness and self soothing, with the constant voice in your head saying “don’t go backwards.”

How lonely it is to watch the people your age starting families when you’re just barely learning what stable relationships are, and the sudden societal pressure of being “up against a clock” for these kinds of things.

The judgement from others if you change your image or interests this late in the game just because you finally figured out who you really are under the demons.

Be kind to those who are developing and blooming after years of not planning on being here long. We are living a life we absolutely didn’t think we’d have, and it’s hard enough without society reminding us there’s expectations of our age.

We didn’t get to be young; we were too busy fighting battles few know.

Do you ever become mutuals with someone you share an intense interest with and it becomes this limbo of "I want to be your friend SO fucking bad but I'll eat a shoe before dm-ing first"

follow up to this post; these tutorials are intended to help those who buy/use my psds , so that they may end up with the best possible results, as i'm no expert in editing by all means — and in saying so , like to make sure what i do put out will be fairly easy/convenient to use ( with as minimal adjustments as possible ! ) in this tutorial , i'll be showing you how i personally use minor adjustments to balance out shadows/blacks and fix ' deep fry ' coloring.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED: photopea and your desired your base image(in this example, i will be using a screencap from the series riverdale). [ screencap credit here. ] DISCLAIMER: not all lighting/images are the same, nor are psd colorings. you may need to use more or less of these adjustments with specific images/lighting. this is just a general idea, you will have to explore as you see fit. it's all going to depend on your personal taste !

by the end of this tutorial, your results should go from something like this...

to this! much less of an eyesore.

starting with example one(middle image/psd applied) / i'm going to apply a clipping mask(this way if you make any mistakes, it won't effect your base image and you can easily delete the error). / in the second example, i've made a video to show you how balancing adjustments out may look in real time. beginning with example one:

once you've applied your psd of choice, go to layer tab > new adjustment layer > hue/saturation. (the three yellow highlighted tabs)

this should instigate a pop up(circled in red) and add a layer above the image layer you're working with(it will say Hue/Saturation 1)

now, you're going to right click the Hue/Saturation tab, and you should be greeted with a dropdown option; click the 'clipping mask' option.

now the hue/saturation layer should be a clipping mask, and should look like the image below; the arrow indicates that it will work for the layer below the newly added adjustment. now, we can move on to the actual adjustments that will be applied within that clipping mask.

as previously mentioned, we want to focus on the base image colors(before the psd was applied); with that being said, the colors we want to balance out are magentas/blue/red, that it will match the cyan color. you can now go to the dropdown where it says 'range'(highlighted in yellow). i'm going to adjust magenta first, since its the primary color of this lighting.

and now, you may adjust the hue, saturation and lightness toggles as you see fit or until you feel like it matches, or is just generally less of an eyesore. in this case i did magenta > hue(-49); after that, i moved onto red > (hue-130) > (saturation7) > (lightness26) [ ... ] see how only adjusting the magenta left in the red highlight until we chose to edit it out.

our end result for example one. now onto the example two video.

this next example(psd applied) will be a little different but ultimately the same method. instead of hue/saturation, im going to layer tab > new adjustment layer > selective color, that i may focus on shadows/blacks as well, since the psd made them a bit lighter than i'd prefer. (note: this also comes in handy if you have grain applied to an image and feel it makes it to light!)

using these two methods are my primary saving grace for inconsistent lighting, fried images or oversaturation. i hope you find this useful!

i like the term "gallows humor" because it always makes me think of someone getting sentenced to death and being like "i have GOT to be the funniest person at my public execution"
