Description *drumroll*
DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNN!!

I finally colored my own lineart! So many talented people have colored this lineart that I put up months ago and have done a beautiful job.

This is approaximatly the third of fourth shot I've taken at this, incuding two with photoshop and one with Corel Painter Essentials 3, and killing the original with an attempt with Prismacolors. So even though this only took hours, it feels like weeks.

Comments would be much much appreciated!


Brush(s):
Lineart: [link]
Medium:: Ink on paper, then Photoshop Elements 5.0 and Wacom Baboo tablet
Time: Just on this version, 8+ hours

*kanji means "daydream"

THANK YOU!!!

I like the sublte patterns on her shirt! But what does that kanjii say? I think it's a kanjii symbol...

Yep, it's kanji. They were in a set of photoshop brushes and were labeled and picked because they correlated to the feel of the picture, but golly! I can't remember anymore. That was two years ago and I haven't used those brushes since. X) Sorry about that.

No offence, but I personally like the lineart better.

That's alright, I'm not really thrilled with how this turned out, but I was just glad I finally finished an attempt to color it myself. X)

I was for about 3 years, and just about every shade of it too, but now my hair is black. But I still love red-heads.

wait were you a cheating red head? as in your hair was never really red? or were you a born red head and desided to take the fun out of being a red head by dying it black?

Vanaliel In reply to yellowkitty93 [2009-08-27 00:31:36 +0000 UTC]

I was a cheater. My natural color is a boring right in the middle of every color color. I've been dying it for years. Sorry.

wait..all that kanji means daydream! because I see the kangi for day in the second one so I assumed the first one was connected to something else..

oh well. Good job

Wow, this is fantastic! ^.^ You did a great job on colouring it, how'd you learn to do it so well?

Vanaliel In reply to Marcusstratus [2008-12-16 00:09:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I basicly learned from every deviant whose digital work I like. I've read a few tutorials for hints, came up with some of my own methods, experimented, and practiced a lot. ^^

Marcusstratus In reply to Vanaliel [2008-12-16 08:38:29 +0000 UTC]

ah! good That's the best way to learn to, to teach yourself... you absorb it better because it's actually something you're interested in.
