My pictures are inaccurately displayed (update)

Edit: I tried using a different filter with my monitor on factory reset. The picture is posted below (it's the third one). Tell me what you think. I'll be checking on it using different computers.

WAOW!
I finally figured this out.
My painting style is supposed to be high-contrast, but not so much that it burns your eyes.
However, my monitor was inaccurately configured. For the longest time, I was viewing everything in higher contrast than they really were!
I realized this when I viewed my own pictures on my family's laptops.

Just now I gave my monitor a factory-reset, and everything looks so faded |D
So here's a comparison with Zidane.

This is what you guys were most likely seeing:


And this is what you were SUPPOSED to be seeing:

(if this image appears over-contrasted, then the above image is what I wanted everyone to see. This is a new problem for me, and I'm trying to fix it)

And this is how it looks like when I use the "soft light" filter with no Curves, in sRGB.


Well, unless your monitor is weird, too. Or maybe mine is just weirder.
The goal was for his pants to be very dark towards the left.
If they're not dark enough so that the lineart on the left of his right leg can barely be seen, well then.. we have a problem.
I'll have to check it up on different computers! But now I think I know the problem.
