I need a small help here.

I have got no idea what's wrong but since this evening, my Photoshop CS5 has been acting really strange. The colors I pick to work with appear very different when I actually use them on canvas. If I pick a light skin color, it appears at least three shades darker when I use it. If I apply the same color on top of the colored skin on an overly, screen or lighten layer, it turns very grayish O_o'

I'm sure I have not done anything to my screen color settings nor have I touched anything related to color profiles in PS, I don't even understand those. I always work in the default RGB modes. I don't recall doing anything out of the usual with anything. Just yesterday morning, my PS was working just fine and now I simply can't get the colors to appear right.

Anyone has got any idea why this might be happening? Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance ;3;

Thank you very much sairin. You are a life savior ♥

I think it's really adorable when he asks if anyone needs healing at the end of every battle 8D
Oh, and I'm starting to get the hang of drawing facial hair :D This is going to be very fun.

Also, a big vacation from my troublesome life is going to start very soon. I've been procrastinating on a lot of things I know and I apologize for that. I've always been very bad at keeping in touch with my friends and at correspondence. I've got plenty of notes, messages, comments and e-mails that have been piling for so many weeks now. I'm supposed to have had those answered long time ago but I haven't for the stupid excuse of finding the right time, which never comes.
I'm sorry I'm not ignoring any one of you. It just ... it takes me forever to think of proper replies orz.

I love you all ;_; I promise I'll be a good girl. I'll try to be better at being more social online orz;
Thank you for your patience everyone.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO...... OTLLL
I JUST HAD TO EXECUTE A CERTAIN SOMEONE OMGGGG NONONOOOOO WHYYYY OMG WHYYY SOBBSSSSS. OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WRRYYYY. OTL.
I'M SO SO SORRY BB.



Damn you Sebastian orz.

I should stop trying too hard to get Anders to look like the original him in the game orz. He looks better when I draw him without worrying about being true to his original design but when I do that, he turns much younger than he is supposed to be ;__;
He's got such weird nose and his eyes are tiny and too close and his stubble is ... auughhghg, why do I even like this crazy mage he's a royal pain in the back ;__; ... b... but he's so adorable orz.

I fail so much my god where has my drawing skills gone orz;;;;

p.s.; I can't draw cats :I

Kitten was referenced ;___; There is no way I could draw cute animals orz.
I'd like to have this finished soon before I start hating it. I'm not sure if I can though. My coloring sense is completely out of order and I have got no idea what should I do to fix it. Maybe I should browse deviantart or pixiv for some inspiration. I haven't been on either sites since I don't even remember.

I feel like the times when I was completely clueless about digital coloring orz.
