Description This was purely a Photoshop practice attempting a comic book style colouring method.

This took way too long to do. something like 7 hours. I should be able to do another page much quicker as I spent a fair amount of time trying things out. Will also probably make the shading a little simpler to save time.

Maybe a bounced light pass might of helped the image some more.

The lineart I did NOT draw. it was found on the Top Cow's website in their jobs section ([link] )


p.s. Download for a higher resolution image.

Oh, I hate you PG-san. =___=

Come live at my house so I can osmos your skillz away. And maybe some of your extra time.

In re: Really well done, great imitation of comic-style coloring, and I've been studying comics all summer. Might have gone a little soft with the brushes on the torso. Otherwise, great choice of colors, and style, they reflect typical comic coloring style.

Yeah. I'm not very good with colours so forced myself to try and use strong colours on this. Was quite fun to do.
