Description One of my favourite characters - red monika - seems i always do well working with her. really pleased with how this turned out actually - had it flatted for ages, and decided to do it at work last night and today.

i'm very pleased with the hair, and i tried subduing the foreground with a mild blue overlay (saw it in a tut somewhere).

comments appreciated on this one.

I LOVE it, the coloring is absolutely wonderful, especially the hair. And the background is awsome as well!

I actually love these colors quite a bit, as well as the values you used. It gives Joe Mad's work a different feel; More like it actually could be "real" rather than just a fantastical story.

Once again! Great colors!

Dude, you should seriously hit the comic book marketing domain. As I see you in that. Your colors, are wounderful, and Joe's lineart seriously gives you both a chance hitting a job. even better, a career.
has this thought ever come to your mind?
if not, you should think about it.

thanks; yes I've been involved in a couple of comics that we pitched to Ironcat, but it didn't go anywhere cos we were both too busy with University, but I keep my eye on a couple of colourist jobs pages to get some money from it
