Description Finally, I must say that I have completed the coloring of Oracle by . I asked her a long time ago to color this and she was so kind in letting me do it. I hope that she likes it. ^_^ Again sorry it took so very long, but I didn't want to give you something that I didn't think was presentable. -_-;; I'm very picky when it comes to my artwork.

As for the talk on coloring, originally I had a lot of different ideas on how to complete this work. But sad to say all of them failed to fit the bill. I really hated all of the pervious versions that I made so I deleated all of them (5 versions in total) and finally after trial and error came up with this. -_-;; Actually if you look at the event file on Portalgraphics.net or Comic_artists.com, you will see that after 90% or so during the process I changed the background, . . . again. I really deleated it all together. This really was a challenge but I hope that it came out okay.

As for the hair, at first I was going to color it with the lines showing, but every attempt that I did failed as well so out of desperation I desided to color it over the lines. I had tried to uses all types of hair colors and many times it looked horrible. Again I hope that this is okay too. If not I will do this piece over again.

So the final product was a winter motif. I like the trees and the birds because they were easiest to do. ^_^ Other than that it was all touch and go. The main challenge was that the line art was small so all the detail that I am use too showing and what you are use to seeing had to be cut out completely, but this is a nice change of pace too because it tested me on what I needed to do to make this whole thing work.

Anyways please tell me what you think. ^_^ Sorry for the rambling I hope you enjoy.

I think that you can it just takes time patients and a whole lot of cussing and pulling your hair out. -_-;; I really don't think that my method is all that practical. I hope that you find a better way of doing it than mine. xD

I think you did a very good job colouring this. The snow and wind blowing look very real. I would have gone for higher values in the hair, though. It looks very flat. Otherwise, great job overall!

LancerMonna In reply to sojournstudio [2004-03-28 03:05:51 +0000 UTC]

Now that you meantion it, it really does look flat doesn't it? Thanks so much for letting me know about this. I would have colored it the same as I normally do, but for some reason it never came out right so I felt that this was the best that I could come up with at the moment. Also I didn't want to add too many highlights to the hair because of all the snow and glowy stuff already in the piece. I tried to balance it out. I see were the hair is flat so I will not do this again in my future pieces. Thanks again. ^_^ This comment really helped me out a lot.

sojournstudio In reply to LancerMonna [2004-03-28 17:00:04 +0000 UTC]

Any time

I don't think you need to add more highlights so much as go darker with the shadows to give the hair depth.

Overall, it's still a GREAT piece of work

Well coming up with the right color scheme very did take a lot of time and effort and then I had to delete a lot of versions because I hated them all. This one is the one that I finally agreed on. It came out nicely and I'm happy with it. Thanks for liking my efforts. ^_^

LancerMonna In reply to kiara-tai [2004-03-28 02:59:17 +0000 UTC]

Actually, the dress was really changed at all for this. I was at first thinking of changing the color from white, and did this several times, but all of them failed. I really like this one because it was very simple and held an elegance to it. I'm happy that to like that, the hair and wings so much thanks. Thanks so much. ^_^

Yes it was. I redid it five times total, finally liking this one. I really am very picky when it comes to presenting my artwork. But it comes out better this way for everyone I believe.

i like this soft coloration especially because all colors fit perfectly well together... that must have been a hard piece of work to choose the right colors...
