I think this is an awesome remix of the powerpuff girls. but since you are asking for critique, let me say a couple things. I dont know if you are trying to pay homage to the simple landscapes of the original cartoon, but with the detail you put into the girls, I think the silouette of the buildings could have a little more detail as well. The other thing is that the trails under the characters have only wide-brushed lines in them, which seems to not jive with the sharp detail of the powerpuff girls again. Id say either go with a more solid color trail for each girl (without glowing lines within them) or add sharper lines to them and make them sparkle a little. Oh, and the green trail seems a little crooked on its thin end. I hate ending on a negative note though since the characters are done so well.

I would have to say your colouring is superb and see nothing wrong with it, the shades and tones are just mind boggling well done!

i think there's nothing wrong with it, maybe centre the girls , and make underneath their flight trails a little sparkly by using a light whitey green, but other than that, tis soooo cool

seeing this has absolutely made my day. It's the perfect idea for the worlds most perect little girls...what would they be like as the worlds most perfect...TEENS!

As for the color, shading, and such I think you nailed it. I think it'd be interesting to see a lil variation in the skin tone between the three girls. like Buttercup would most likely be the most pale skinned, followed by bubbles, and then blossom with the most tan skin. I also like how you've kept the tone of each of primary color for each girl consistant throughout each toons costume, eyes, and hair. They are really distinguished by their individual color, so if it weren't there, we'd certainly miss it.

The shading is a tad inconsistant (although I'm seriously no expert) but it seems like at times the shadow resulting from the same lighting direction is stronger on one character more than another. Buttercup has, by far, the heaviest shading on her skin. I think it works because of her demeanor. But the one thing that confuses me, is where the light is coming from...is it from beneath them or from where we are looking at them. (I'm a photographer, my life is lighting...lol)

other than that...I really like this piece a lot. I think you've done a wonderful job coloring it.

Wonder if the characters would retain their charm if there ever was a sequel series made starring the "POWERPUFF TEENS"

awesome work!

Hehe, I love *greatLP 's take on them, they really turend out well.
The lighting is supposed to be from different directions, Buttercup's from the fight, Bubble's from the left, and Blossom's from beneath. I need to find a way to make that more clear.

There's actually a PPG anime coming out soon, supposedly. ^mangapunksai 's journal has more on it, and screencaps.

aha...I get it now...and I do see the lighting a bit better that way. It is very intense lighting.
PPG anime? really? interesting.

I must check it out!

Make the colors more...stand out. This is just too much white to my eyes. Make the red redder, the blue bluer, the green greener

Wow, you took an already good coloring job and made it better. Nice to see the colors reflected in Buttercup's pants. Offsetting the girls to the left gives the image a bit more of a dynamic edge to it too. The skyline is a nice touch too.
