Description A little gift for *iMAGNi , just for the heck of it. I've been wanting to attempt a slightly more comic style of coloring linework. It's not as fast as my normal work and it's my first attempt at something like this, but I like how it turned out and would like to do more in the future.

Comments are welcome as always!

Hope you like it TRiPPY! Your art is a constant inspiration to me!

Sparkles= layer in photoshop comprised of dabbing around aimlessly with the brush to make little white spots (white is the easiest base color). Then, open the layer properties, choose "outer glow" to toggle with the shine effect and colors, and to perfect the color of the sparkle itself, either reduce the transparency of the layer, or use the "color overlay" option. It's easier than it sounds!

Das een mooie ^^
Bij deze vind ik de actergrond vooral spectaculair
Het heeft een kalme sfeer =3
De chara ziet er ook leuk uit, de style die jou gebruikt om mensen te tekenen blijft cool ID

Oh man! The thing that jumped out first to me was it looks so neon and glowy, that's really hard to pull off with colors so congrats. Astrima is Infra so this fits her nicely. Putting reds and purples together clashes wonderfuly and makes her look really bold. I loves. This style is really interesting.

Thank you for drawing my Atty! You do her shiny more than justice XD

I'm very pleased you like it. Even if you didn't, I probably wouldn't mind so much simply because the sparkly stuff is so hypnotic.

Thanks & you're very welcome!

So true. Kichigai does incredible 3D work...

But for a drawing, your Astrima is as good as it gets. ^^

Oh random question by the way. I was thinking of how I should color Viridian, since I got her perdy pic drawn up today. Do you think I should do it more in this linework style or in my normal shiney/dramatic look?

Ideya-Freak In reply to Niraven [2009-03-17 22:09:44 +0000 UTC]

Why not try this linework look? I mean atty came out pretty good, and it'd let you play with a different style.^^

Metroid-Tamer [2009-03-17 18:07:37 +0000 UTC]

For a first try at this kind of style, this is pretty damn good. Sparkly ahoy! *3*

Nice job with the colors! They look fantastic. : D

Niraven In reply to Metroid-Tamer [2009-03-17 18:15:48 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! =3 I'm thinking I should blow up the picture when I color it, then reduce it to normal size again to make those lines smoother, since I can't go smaller than 1px.

Metroid-Tamer In reply to Niraven [2009-03-17 18:17:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that might help you. Some of the lines do look a little thick in some areas of the image. I say go for it and see what it does!
