Description Yeah, I wish I could make lineart that was this good >.<

Lines are done by . Thank you, this was another very fun one to work with

I have tried some different coloring techniques, combined with some of my regular style. In particular I was trying to work the background into the foreground with lighting effects. The background is all original work (with the exception of the chandelier, that is stock), and is the first digitally painted background I have done that has turned out decent.

Spent too much time on this, hope you all like it

The choice in her colors really make her pop out from the background. I really like the hair

Thank you! I'm glad you approve of the foreground and background colors since I actually consciously decided to choose opposites on the color wheel for this one ^.^

keep in mind the pose and anatomy credit goes to Max since it is his linework. Be sure to read the artist's comments ^.^

I'm impressed with the way you made the atmosphere seem almost unreal. Sometimes coloring another person's lineart can really give me some perspective.

D-e-n-a In reply to Serain [2008-05-13 03:13:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you ^^

The hope is that coloring other's lineart gives you a feel of how they do things. Right now my skill in coloring is way above that of my drawing, so i hope I can learn and eventually make my own lines this good

Serain In reply to D-e-n-a [2008-05-13 03:22:26 +0000 UTC]

Well, it all depends, eh? I'm not a particularly big stickler to clean lineart myself. I think color/shading always serves to give the drawing more atmosphere. But of course, you have to have a little bit of both!
