Some could think it's unnecessary to write this (and I would think that too) but due to the amount of downloads this one got and the fact that there're just 3 colorists that has credited me for the Flats I would emphasize:
If you use this Flats please give proper credits to everyone involved...me included 
Resolution: 3476 x 5604 px

color mode: rgb
lineart: alpha

Note: the white layer at the top is there just because that works to reduce a bit the file's size.

I wish they made comics like this with just one or two toned coloring like in manga but detailed pencil work.

well I'm not a manga fan, in fact I can't remember to have read any manga but I guess you mean like the cellshading they use on most anime shows, that's a style that could like to many people I guess but just flats (as you see here) I think it would be kind of too lazy, I mean old comics used to be this way but that was mostly because technical issues and same for anime I think they do it that way because it would be a lot of work to use a full coloring style (without using 3d models). I prefer for comics a coloring style with gradients and that and semi realistic look (not too reallistic however) but sure in some occasions a 'flat-looking' coloring style could work for some single pieces like the one it's on the daily deviations now [link] but, a whole comic made that way? mmm... I don't think I would like it (of course it would also depends on the script).

I've grown on the 80's so I get what you mean also it's a personal taste which is unobjectable by nature. Glad you like my work, thanks.

Lol, too true my friend! Very awesome to get the views for sure tho

10k now, I don't know why at least half of them (or even 1/3) don't hit the thumbs to check your works when those are the real art and this is just a mere pratical file to save some colorist's time.

Ahhh.. thanks to you I now undersand what flats are.... Nice.

glad to help in that matter too

Yea, that might help. I guess there are lots of people that don't know what they are good for.

well to be honest I don't know the character and I only see the original colored cover after I did the flats, so I was picking kind of random colors for the flats. Since I do these flats just to save other's time and not for coloring my self (so most probably each colorist would be making their own color choice) I don't pay much attention to the color scheme I go just by instinct I think.

It's amazing what you can do with inking. Not many colors but we can perfectly see deep and shadows.

I'm copy/pasting what I wrote to another person:
thanks for the comment, but it seems you don't know what this really is. This is just flats, what you see is just a 'preview' image the real thing is on the downloable file. The flatting work is what many colorists (or their assitants) do as a preparation step before start the real coloring work, this is more a mechanical/technical work than artistic the point is saparete the areas with different colors so later the colorist can select those separated (e.g. the skin) and work on them without messing the other parts, this is just to prepare the piece to start the real work. What I try to do with these kind of files is save some colorist's time so they can jump right to the coloring job, mainly to help the guys that are practicing coloring to learn or improve their skills. And of course also the files could work as a kind of sample of my work as flatter.

i like how you made the teeth more exentric on the raptor to the right, its almost like a what's different picture, minus the lines.

Hope now you can understand what this really is

interesting how complicated the process is
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's not much complicated really just by know a couple basic points about flats and something about Photoshop is pretty easy but it could be time consuming and that's why comic colorists have assistants for these things.

first of all I hope you can read english and now a friendly advice, I'm cool with people feeling proud of their culture and therefore their language too (in fact I even was part of a sort of small "crusade" that tried to make dA a more multi-cultural site in the language matters) but on a rational thought I've to think that when you (genarally speaking) write a message to someone is (or should be) because you want to make a sort of communication (even if you don't expect an answer) so it would be smart and considered if you write the message in a language that could be understood by the other person other way it could be even rude. Sure I can take google translator or some other online translator but I don't trust on those things and anyway for what I got from those I've to think that may be you didn't get what this work really is, in that case I don't have problems to explain you but you will've to write in english (or spanish).
