This was a line art for the November Lineart Contest. This time I decided to go all out... This is the longest I have ever spent on line art... EVER! And it won the contest! I was thrilled.

The lineart is still available at this link--> [link]

I updated it with a coloring now that the contest is over. It is comprised of four different coloring jobs from the various entries.

Here are the links to the different entries that I used:

About the Picture

The theme was magic. So I am drawing A fight/play/dance scene using magic. If you read the excerpt in the Fireflies deviation, you know that Koji is a water master and Kiala is a Fire Master. Their skills are equal opposites and they cancel each other out, this is right before the water and fire turn to steam. ^__^ When Kial and Koji fight, it is like a dance, because their techniques are that way, it is also more like play because they both enjoy themselves, getting into it. Neither can really hurt the other. That is why they are fighting. To me, their relationship is rather magical, and so not only is there the use of magic and the existence of magical elements in this picture, there is a magical connection between the characters. The lamp thing on the side has a tiger carved into it (yes, Koji's Tiger) because it represents him (and it is at his place). Miakai is there to make an entrance, but she also symbolically represents Kiala, whose animal is the dragon. So the fight is really the tiger versus the dragon. Even if this picture doesn't win the contest and get colored, I will some time find a way to color it myself... because the image is too beautiful to leave uncolored. Though it may be a long while before I get to that. That being said, I hope you all enjoy it. ^__^

is that the see I'm seeing downwards? i mean the blue background that has all those waves...
they're pretty sweet but at first glance they don't really seem like waves....anyway, this really challenged you so I'm glad you totally finished it ^^

Actually, I don't know what that is... It think it is just essence of magic. This isn't my coloring of it. I combined four other artist's colorings. Different colorings that I liked.

I did this because I had fun making this, and I wanted to showcase the work of other people a little bit in a round about way while keeping the work still my own.

I actually used other people's colorings as you may see in the artist's comments... making my own adjustments here and there and adding a little of my own touch to finish it off. I'm actually getting good at combining different artist's colorings. Thank you.

Lovely lineart, and congratulations on winning the color me club's lineart contest. ^^
Not sure if you wanted me to, but I'm letting you know that I colored this lineart. It was challenging to get all the details, and I really hope I got your character's colors right (Sorry if I didn't!)

Here it is

I'm glad they gave us a month to color this, I think its gonna take that long. Your level of detail is perfect. Not too much(which would make it clutered)and not too little(then it looks unfinished).

THIS IS HUGE!
Should be a lot of fun to color.
A question, though, are there colors I HAVE to follow or can I choose my own colors?

manic-goose In reply to Hipster-Coyote [2008-12-10 00:57:32 +0000 UTC]

There are colors for the characters if you look at my other art... but it is completely optional. I like to see what other people come up with... the normal colors are for those who like to have that sort of thing to work with.

Thank you.

Okay then! I think I'll do my own thing! >.> It's going to take ages anyway, better at least flex my coloring muscle while doing it

manic-goose In reply to Hipster-Coyote [2008-12-11 04:51:46 +0000 UTC]

You know anouther option is to color a part of it...because it is like it has two pictures in one in it.

Interesting. You have a chinese dragon in there, nice touch to keep in sync with the rest of the style.

Oh by the way, I wont be going to N. Carolina for 2 week. Might be staying in Salem, Or. Still looking for a place to crash. Might of found one though.

Here's a joke I read today and it just puts a smile on my face its so twisted:
A little boy asked his mother:
- Mummy, why are you white and I am black?
- Don’t even ask me that, when I remember that party..., you are lucky that you don’t bark.

manic-goose In reply to Narkya [2008-12-03 23:25:15 +0000 UTC]

If you look on the larger one, you will see that it is in the air... sort of behind the other one, ready to kick... so you can't quite see it. I also have it available in download for a closer yet view. The nice thing about this one is that there are really two smaller pictures in one for people to color.

I like it when people ask for clarification on a line art because that means they actually looked at it.
