Description WTF? I thought it was going to take longer than 2 days, well, the secret is in the FIRAHHH!!! it took aprox. 10 minutes, how?
I know some dirty tricks SO the WIP was obviously a waste of deviant space
I really loved the lineart, a LOT. So I wanted to give it a try, while I'm practicing layers at the same time, the usual number of layers I use is this: 0.
And this also mark my retirement, as a anime colorist, for the moment.

Credit to for the lineart.
This is my first painting of a scanned picture, suggestions are appreciated.

Done in Photoshop 7, took about 8 hours. Used 7 layers.

*This is kinda of a tradition of mine, but, get a name for her (she didn't have a name in the original either) think about a fiery personality.

the coloring would be fine if it wern't for the flames. with all that fire around her entire body there would hardly be a shadow. and i think you slacked on the face. the rest of the body has great shading and it looks very natural

I suppose there would be no shading at all, ill update it, thanks.
ps: what's wrong with the face?

no there would be different levels of light all over the body...keep it up...just next time you're around a fire look how the lite is cast on people
