When I found out I was going to be working with Dan on a new project that's underway, I wanted to "try out" his lines...this one was challenging, and took me a while to hammer out, but i think I got it to where I want it...

You do have an excellent coloring style. I envy how you color for sure as it's very comicbook-esque; a style I am no where near in mastering as I suck at the cell like shading using the gradient tool. Seriously... I've looked at tuts too and I'm like 'der...'

Fathom rocks too- very cool piece to choose to color. Excellent job as usual. =B

i'm still trying to work up to the "comicbookesque" style, but it's been a long road of trial and error. I think most of it is just finding the right lines which often aren't my own....

I am very grateful for your appreciation though, as the force is otherwise strong with you and you constantly/consistantly turn our a high quality of work. If you ever want a colorist, lemme know, I'd be more than happy to color your work, and (hopefully) explain how I did it, for pointers.

Well you're on a good path to it! Further along that I in the type of coloring. Ish cool. And Ooo, I'd love to have you color something of mine or some of my works. I actually have a piece I think would look spiffy in your coloring style. I'll upload the lines and let you color. =B I'll give you some details in what I'd like to have though. That'd be neat.

You know, I look at this and I totally think to myself... "Damn, I wish things had that kind of a glow in real life...(sigh)"... Yeah, I totally dig this, and I really want to thank you for trying out my lines as you say ^^ I know you're working hard to get the pages done for our book, so I feel a little obligated to tell you... Pages 12-15 are scary with detail!!! You'll love them. Oh yeah, that reflection... damn, stuff like that, those little touches are what really make a great colorist... very proud of you for thinking of that Bro!!! Dan Prado

The coloring is great, the sunset unreal and beautiful, but you know what gets me? The reflection. That's just fantastic.

Shiny--I dig the color scheme, and the glimmering light effects on the waves and her armor!
