Sheepstealer, a notably ugly “mud brown” dragon hatched when the Old King was still young, had a taste for mutton, swooping down on shepherd’s flocks from Driftmark to the Wendwater. He seldom harmed the shepherds, unless they attempted to interfere with him, but had been known to devour the occasional sheep dog.

notes:

the adjustments layers used for the base psd action are:

1 curves with auto setting

1 curves with blending mode on screen and opacity 35% (adjustable to use)

1 levels

1 exposure

1 color balance

1 selective color with blending mode on color colorful-ish action: the values are focused on fixing the colors, especially cyan and blue, and making the red, yellow, green, and magenta more colorful neutral-ish action: the values are at the minimal, it's more like a base coloring and need to adjust the first and second curves

1 selective color with blending mode on luminosity where the values changed are white and black only

important:
