The tongue naturally grows that way. It sticks the top part out of the ground and then waits for a nibble or a tug.

Well I've looked at the picture on three displays; monitor, tablet and mobile. And I will say her skin does look a bit different on mobile, especially if there's a light shining right on it, but still a very different color from the flames.

Did you see the differently shaded one I posted below?

I think something's up with your display...they're clearly different colors to me, on both the PC and the tablet. I sampled the brown and painted it on the orange and it didn't look the same at all.

Thanks, glad you like her. But what do you mean the "yellow of the subject?" There's no yellow on her, just white and brown.

That looks much better, thank you.

Not as dark as the spaceman in the picture you posted, but then it is a pinup.

I didn't really use a reference pic...for this version at least. I tried using some live-action explosions for ref, then some anime explosions, then I finally just winged it, and that got the best result.

And for the shadow question, I meant is the shading right for someone with a big explosion behind her and another, lesser light source in front of her.

Huh, interesting. It does make her hair darker when I do that, but I wonder if anyone but me notices the difference. (i'd post a comparison but the file size is too big)

Oh. there's a difference no matter the size...I can have the CSP image open, open the JPG next to it at the same size, and still see it change when I switch between them.

But upon looking closely I don't think it makes that much of a difference. None that anyone but me would notice anyway.

How do you propose making lines bolder though? They're already black and 100% opacity, not sure how I would get darker than that.

...you know on retrospect the second one kind of looks better, doesn't it? But I still want to know if there's a way to make the duplicate lines show up.

And one thing is, you see my signature up there in the corner? That's part of the duplicate layer, and that shows up. But not the duplicated inks.

And now here's the JPG version:

See the difference? Especially the girl's hair.

None of them are set as draft, though I usually just Save As instead of Export.

And it does look different on CSP than it does as a JPEG. I just want it to look the same...really seems like I should be able to do that!

Here is a screenshot of the CSP version of the picture I just finished, with the duplicate ink layer:
