Let's Collab

I love your lines. Couldn’t resist coloring it.

I think most people either scan it and clean it up digitally, or ink it traditionally then scan it. But if you don’t have a scanner you can try photographing it, though you really need a decent camera and good lighting to avoid blur and vignetting and such. And if you don’t feel like cleaning it up you can just post it as-is if you want. Personally I could do an over-painting, or maybe some one will offer to clean it up for you.

fuck, i think i have like 4 colors of this saved on my computer now…

this thread = :tup:, i thought i said it months ago when it was first posted but those flats on spiral are great.

Oh, incidentally I did get around to coloring that Spiral too.

:u: Click.

Just to reiterate; this thread isn’t “mine” it’s for everyone, so anyone can collab with anyone else. Hope to see more spontaneous collabs.

Not sure where I was going with this when I started it, I’m sure someone can figure it out… I need to start seriously applying perspective because her legs are pretty terrible. If anyone has any tips about that I’m always open the the advice.

Hmm I think I remember a couple of posts about the z-axis over on this blog:


That first guy sometimes goes to a bit of an extreme to map the dimensions of a character:

Very helpful stuff Xenozip, appreciate it. I’ll have to apply it in the next one. Quick edit here: I was really digging that Ragna, the only thing that wasn’t sitting right with me was the placement of his head… So I pulled it out a little bit and dropped his jaw in. That was really the only thing that seemed off, everything else is great. I tried to keep as much of the original line art in as I possibly could. Let me know what you think, Samurai Black.

:u: Click. I also tweaked the face a little, but I couldn’t tell if it was an improvement or not so I just went with the original sketch entirely when coloring.

Hello guys. Here is the sketch that I used for my Vega painting. I really would like to see someone’s coloring approach to this sketch. Have fun!

NOTE: I’ve never seen any of your paintings till a minute ago. lol

oh snap, been a bit busy for the last few days, only just remembered to check the thread. really liking the both colour interpetations. i think my only issue with yours bigboss is the amount of exposed neck, but its nothing major.

appreciate the effots :slight_smile:

I like the texture u used but coloring seems to simple. Is this first stage, a work in progress?

Oh its done. XD

I’ll give the Vega a try after I finish up some things. May take a bit.

I know it’s a mess right now, but I was hoping somebody would clean it up/color it for me even though there are allot of errors and mistakes xP

I feel a little bit sorry about this, I know I should I have to contribute first then request.

I’m quite proud about my inking and outline drawing, but coloring and designing bgs has been a real pain on my career, I want to include this image on the presentation of a stream run by friends, but I… well… feel free to critique.
