Description "The Evil Dragon"

A Beast Wars TF Mosaic fable

Script: Josh van Reyk [link]
Line Art: Alex Santos [link]
Colours & Lettering by me!

Here are my original colours for "The Evil Dragon" (sans background or lettering).

I don't know why it didn't occur to me from the get-go to try for a more storybook feel for the piece - it seems so obvious to me now! But as it was, I had completely finished colouring the panels before it struck me that the fairytale nature of Josh's script might lend itself to a less conventional approach. It also seemed to me that Alex's lovely lineart would work well with this alternate look, so I gave it a go.

Anyhoo, as the original full-colour, non-sepia version of the panels was completed, I thought it might as well post it on here instead of keeping the poor thing trapped in my hard drive for all eternity

tarnation. this is smashing as well.

although it is the more "conventional" style (said w/o the bad, "unimaginative" connotations of the word), it really POPS off of the page. professional-stuff with a painterly visible-brushstroke quality.
