mmmm...greenMore cel practice on another one of Charles's Spidey sketches. Thinking about doing the next one with just complementary colors, but I'm not sure how it'll look in the cel style. Guess I'll find out soon enough!

Very snazzy! Say, is this style any faster for you? Just curious is all.

It's kinda slow right now, but it's getting faster already as I'm figuring out shortcuts.
For example, I'll flat everything in my shadow tones. Then I'll put a new layer on top of that and paint in the highlight tones. Then if something needs fixed, I can simply paint or erase on that highlight layer depending on what's needed done. The first few pieces, I did it all on one layer, so it was a constant back and forth between the shadow and highlight colors.
Using the second layer thing will also make things easier if I decide I wanna start adding some slight grad work to it. I can simply lock the transparent pixels on the highlight layer, then magic wand the area in my flats. That basically means that all of my selections are saved on one single layer, without having to make a gazillion selection channels.

Ick to the channel selections. Glad to see the progress coming along, I really like your work. Well I always have, but these are really cool. And you cover a nice pallette. Some are moody, some are bright. And thanks for the tip....I don't need a colorist at all now!

Thanks Pat. It's rough as hell trying to do this with only 2 shades of colors!

The border's the easiest stuff to do

I know how to do it if it's done in PS. If I add a border, it isn't a huge significance of the picture so it doesn't take away from the picture.

pardon my ignorance about digital coloring... i have no clue what you mean by "cel style" but it looks very cool.

It's basically simple flat rendering, like what ya see with cartoons and anime. It's usually done with a simple shadow tone and a base tone. Sometimes you'll see it with a bright highlight tone, and slightly darker mid tone to help give more definition. I'm just sticking with 2 tones as a way of practicing on some of my own problem areas.

Looks good!
I almost wish you had used a third, lighter value to really push the light source to the left a bit more, but it works as is. Don't mind my senseless jibber-jabber.
