Made this a while ago for practice, it’s not anything special, thought I’d share it here before I call it finished and never look at it again.
[edit] goddamnit, internet fucked up the colors again. I seem to have a problem with Oversaturation when I upload files to the internet. I figured out a way to get around that last year, but have forgotten it since. Something to do with color profiles in photoshop or something…
mediocre.
He did say it was for practice… 
yeah, its mediocre at best. i agree. kriswest gets it.

Seems like you like your birds well-fed.

Ha! Female Common Bullfinch? (I knew the chubby one looked familiar)

Did you find out what’s screwing up the colours? You might have it set to CMYK (print colours)?
1 Check out: Image > Mode > and check the ‘RGB’ option
2 Also check the Colour Settings: Edit > Colour Settings > then make sure you have ‘North America Web/Internet’ selected in the top drop down menu and in the second drop down menu select the ‘sRGB’ option
3 In the Policies section select “convert to Working RGB”
Most of these should already be set but it’s just a check.
Sometimes it also has to do with how you saved a Photoshop file. You may have saved it in one colour format which is incompatible with the new software/machine settings or you may have embedded colours in the file which are either not reading when you want them to, or reading when you don’t want them to.
Hope that helps. I’m not sure if I can suggest anything further than that if it doesn’t.

That’s your problem right there. Photoshop is a photo-editing software. For vector based image creation, you may have better luck with Illustrator… however - I’ve found my creations turned out best when using POSER from Smith Micro.
You can look at the models available from Daz3d -

I did the vectors in illustrator. It’s not all vectors though. Have to import them to photoshop for the rest.
I know how to solve the problem, I’ve solved it before. It’s not that I’m in CMYK, I’m in RGB. It’s just that using the wrong color-profile will result in an oversaturated photo on the web. I just have to look up what the right color profile is.
Ahhhhh. You said it was a Photoshop profile problem!!!
Never mind, the Illustrator profiles are a lot simpler to correct.
The colours looks MUCH better 
and it’s a better crop too.

This happens to me all the time: it looks one way in photoshop, and unless I have it in the correct color profile (Adobe RGB), it ends up looking completely different – oversaturated – when I upload it.
