Description Gahhh~! Okay this was meant to be colored but I don't think I'll pull that off for some time. I'm still learning how to overlay color on grayscale pictures like this. (By the way, this is how all my pictures look before they're colored). So the picture is a bit undefinied because of the shading, but once the color is added it'll be easier to see.

I drew this with pencil, inked it with cheapo pen, scanned it, then shaded it on Photoshop. Any coloring tips would be appreciated - especially in terms of lighting and carnage coloring. As a side note, this picture is a scene from my third book (the first of which is presently half way done). Enjoy!

Hey, I saw a couple of your attempts at this one! I obviously have no suggestions and am therefore blissfully useless.

This pic is a departure from your usual stuff. Like, it's no doubt your own style, it's just got elements ::coughs "ugly skull" cough:: that take you from what you're used to. A landmark drawing one might say.

I really enjoy looking at the detail of this picture. I can be a sucker for that Personally, I think this picture would have a bigger impact if it was left in grayscale and a background to go with it would make it even more effective. As for coloring tips, I would love to give you some, but I'm still learning myself.

Very good, though the girl looks a little stiff, the perspective is a little.. poor [i mean, the throne and the position of the girl on it] o_O but the details are very good xD i like a lot the skull, the bird and her face expression.

He's supposed to look stiff, so that's good I hope !! I know the pose isn't that extravagant, but I was mostly trying to convey mood in this piece. However I will happily remember your comments and work on poses next time Thank you!

Zocko In reply to ThyGod [2005-04-25 02:39:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Color can add alot of evilness to a picture: the carnage, for example. Still working on my color skills though ... arg! Thanks for your comments!

I have been trying a new method of Photoshop coloring this past month. Often I am pleased with the results, but not this time. Thanks for showing interest in my finished picture! Hope to see you around

It's very pretty. I have no clue how to help....I'm sorry! *bows down for forgiveness* What's your book about?

Zocko In reply to PGTheGreat13 [2005-04-23 18:47:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the comments! I am currently writing a fantasy trilogy about a powerful gem that got separated into two pieces - good and evil - and then fused onto the swords, as shown in the picture. Throughout the books the holy and dark hero (different each book) must search for their sword and then attempt to destroy the other faction. But the story isn't simply good versus evil ...

I would explain more but I must do chores. Forgive me!

I will announce any progress on the publication of my book on my DA Account. Please stay tuned - as those cheesy cartoon announcers always say. I would be honored to have you read my book!
