Description Gawd, this gave me more trouble than it had any right to! It's a nice image, and I always enjoy working with devgear's inks, but I just couldn't get a good flow going on this. I tried a whole bunch of different lighting options, but just couldn't get anything to work over the whole image. In the end I had to take it back to flats (for the 3rd time!) and go with a generic 'omni-light' sorta deal, with a touch of rimlighting to at least make it a little interesting. Hopefully I'll spark a little better on the next colour battle, but this one I just wanted to finish & put up. I may not be totally happy with it, but I don't want to mark the first colour battle with a no-show.

Anyway ...

Very nice colour work indeed! Although I am not convinced that skinny chick could wield that mega-axe!

I expect better than that of you, man - that's a broken-off halberd, not a mega-axe!

Cheers!

Thanks man! Y'know, I used to be kinda scared of using colour, back before I discovered photoshop. Funny how things turn out, eh! ^_^

yeah, I was never much of a hand colorist that's for certain, I was always afraid of ruining my drawings. then I started digital and got hooked
