Well, I promised you the coloured version, so here it is

Not sure if it's better or worse, but as I predicted, it's... different. X'D

But! I really wanted to at least put some colour on it so that people would have an idea of what my species' look like, this being a reference and all.
(Who knows, if I get too grossed out by it, I might attempt a re-colour, but this fits the bill for now.)

---

anyway! from left to right we have:

'Dragon' (top left)- a race whose armoured bodies protect them from the vacuum of space during migration. Communicate telepathically.

Crocatiel (bottom left)- A small, fast reptilian species with a talent for learning languages. Friendly and welcoming towards all other species, they prefer to avoid conflict.

Altamaran (centre)- a tall, tree-climbing species with four arms. They have a vast empire controlled by a monarchy. Mortal enemies to the Dirga. Harness bio-technology.

Shremp (top centre)- a merchant insect race who accumulate wealth to adorn their shells with. Their ships serve as markets and spacestations to travelers.

Calliopae (bottom right)- Come in two different "races". All kinds have mystical powers, and the females have extra ears and a set of horns. This is a girl of the "plains" variety.

Dirga (top right)- a violent species who scour space for fuel sources, to power their dying planet. Will attack smaller vessels and scavenge them for anything of value.

Well there you have it. Hope that was fun :3

I love your "crocatiel". It's so cool, and the pose makes it look even awesomer. Not to mention the punny just cracks me up.
Also, clothing. You can draw clothing. I am jealous of your skill.

All the races are so interesting. 8D

YAY!
I use photoshop elements 3 to colour

it's just a reeeeaaaly ancient version of photoshop, I got it free with my scanner years ago XD
but I do my lineart in the (EQUALLY ANCIENT??) corel painter essentials 3, which was a disk I found lying around... no idea where that came from

Jesseth In reply to Lolita-La-Lapin [2010-09-18 12:42:29 +0000 UTC]

hehe you should be able to, although I've never tried cs3. The layer types I used the most in this picture were multiply, pin light, vivid light and hard light over the lineart... which is a bit unusual but I felt like trying it XD

I like the Crocatiel and Calliopae. They look playful :3 The coloring may have not come out as you wish, but it does work.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Jesseth In reply to merteazy [2010-09-16 20:43:59 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! :3 Crocatiel and Calliopae are supposed to be species that get along really well, so it's good that they come across as having a similar vibe 8D

I don't dislike the colouring too much, I just couldn't seem to add any higher a level of detail without it looking wrong. a shame, but it's all down to a lack of experience really >_>

merteazy In reply to Jesseth [2010-09-16 20:54:30 +0000 UTC]

Is it a contrast problem? Right now everything seems soft. And fading the colors of the ones in back is a good choice.

I'm sure you'll figure out what you want to do to it! If anything. ^^

Jesseth In reply to merteazy [2010-09-16 20:58:24 +0000 UTC]

hmmm, perhaps? I did try to shade the ones in the back lighter, but perhaps a drop in saturation miiiiight help. I dunno, if I alter it and like it, I'll be sure to update

Pressure sensitivity stopped working properly... It either hardly senses it, or you have to press really hard and it goes to top pressure.

I was gonna buy a new one asap but with my parents that might not be possible..

Jesseth In reply to Caslen [2010-09-16 20:27:42 +0000 UTC]

you know, it's probably fixable... have you tried going into the settings? you can fiddle with the sensitivity there. And it might be worth taking the nib out to see if there's fluff in it or something :0
