Lineart by:

Fun to paint, well-made lineart! Thanks for the challange, Joseph. I haven't colored a lot of lineart so it was good practice.

Background... well. I couldn't come up with anything interesting. Hate plain backgrounds - especially for action-pics like this one. So I just splattered some color everywhere.

Ahaha, I remember your art somewhere else, perhaps Kotorfanmedia? Anyways, I love the colouring skills!

Very nicely done! I've seen the lineart before, and it's such a bonus to see someone did a good job with coloring it!

So much better than the Bastarda we got in the game. Faved.

Thank you! Yes the lineart was quite fine to work with. Bastila is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, and since my fanfic is about her (and others) I got so stuck on this picture! So I had to ask if I could have a go at coloring it...

This awesome work!
From the shading of her clothes to the shine of the lightsaber handle... this pic just rocks!

some of the creds goes to Joseph though for the lineart. His drawings are great to work with; crisp and clean lineart.

WooHoo!!


This looks great!! I love Joseph's work, and your coloring of it is fantastic! Your "color splatter" for the b/g works extremely well here, as it's just neutral enough to really stand her out, and yet defined enough not to just be "fog" (it really reminds me of a stained duracrete wall, actually!)! I LOVE the palette for this, and your handling of the light and shadow is fabulous! All around a great job!

Wow, thank you FF. I never was very good at coloring lineart, but I took some time to study other artwork this time and that helped a lot!

I'll probably color more of his work.

This looks great. Actually, for some reason the background reminds me of the shadowlands in Kashyyyk.

I agree! I fell in love with the lineart at first sight. Luckily, Joseph asked me if I wanted to color it.

That's why I got so stuck with this piece of lineart! It really captures Bastila the way I imagine her in Kotor1.

that's nice to hear!

I haven't been very confident with coloring lineart. This time I took a good look at some other people's artwork before I got started. It helped a lot.

JosephB222 [2007-07-07 13:32:10 +0000 UTC]

I am absolutely speechless. This is gorgeous! I knew it was going to look good, but this blows me away. Granted, I may be a little biased, since I never imagined ever seeing one of my drawings look like this, but that doesn't change the fact this is beautiful work.

For that, I thank you.

And I certainly understand about backgrounds. Love having them, hate making them Which is why the starfield has become my default background in a lot of my pics. But I like the background you did here. It could be from quite a few locations in the game, with all the dark places the characters find themselve in. Also, it makes the lightsaber blades look brigther

thanks! It was great fun to color Joseph's lineart. Well-made and "crisp" lineart makes coloring easier.
