Darn typing on the previous description was a test of patience thanks to this slow computer! XDDDD Well at least its stars to feel a bit smoother now so we can manage to upload this second entry of the colored lineart upload spree

Yup, this is one of the colored version of linearts that I commissioned and requested, more will be coming later but this is the last for the first round. Another space picture, this one is another coloring of the lineart made by , and this time is another Idolmaster picture with the characters clad in the Astrogirl spacesuit from the XBOX 360 game The Idolmaster: Live 4 You!, this in particular featured my favorite characters from the franchise, the tomboy member of the idol group Makoto Kikuchi and the glassed intern later also the idol group member Ritsuko Akizuki. This is the third Astrogirl pic posted in my gallery. Well, technically. This lineart is actually the first Idolmaster lineart that I received, and the previous coloring, featuring Haruka Amami, also on the moon clad in the same suit, is actually the second one. It's just that I kind of like doing this one just lately XD. To check the Haruka Amami ones though, also had the lineart done by Joko-Zuno, you can click right here .

There is also another colored version of this lineart by , which I commissioned him to do, so this version of mine serves as the alternative version of it. You can check for his version right here .

Now, the coloring process. It was pretty much similar to the one I did for Haruka lineart, except for this one, the centerline trace phase are only done for both the pose since the ISS background one is quite difficult to color so for that one I draw a shape of it myself according to the bitmap lineart, thus required editing the lineart in Photoshop, and added the appropriate shading to each of the parts. Why ISS as the background, you might ask, well, I honestly only expected these two girls to show up just near the airlock door, but instead JZ went for a full view of the space station, and not just a random space station, but the actual ISS of NASA's XD. And because the station is showed up fully, the girls seem to appear floating far away from it, good thing I asked him to add the safety tether attached to each of them so the scene could actually make sense. I know it's kind of a bit overdone but hey, if it looks nice then it's fine, I got this lineart for free anyway so I can't protest much

Finally the earth background. Had to do it from scratch by adjusting the size to mat with the horizon of the original lineart, while mainly based on the earth background you'll find in most of my full drawings. This time though, I made some more improvements on it, such as adding an extra white gradient for the lighter side of earth to amplify the clouds covering the earth, on top of the light blue gradient used for the atmosphere layer. This also required the removal of the earth horizon of the original lineart, But not until the whole shape of the earth background is made. The result, well, the earth looks more vibrant than the ones i ever add before! I think I'll use this in my drawings in the future XD

Overall, the coloring came out really well, especially with that new earth background XD

That's pretty much it, I hope you guys liked it
