Awesome, but I still like your drawings when they're pencil shaded before they're colored.

That came out really cool! I love the colors and the curvitures of the body. Great job.

Another good coloring job, but I have a concern. I understand that you want to make her look shiny (like your last one, which was appropriately shiny since she was supposed to be sweaty), but you have to know where to put the shine and how much shine to use.

If judiciously placed, the highlights can work very well, but I think you've got too much here, which I find to be distracting. You should decide what parts you really want to emphasize, then tone down the rest. As someone said earlier, the shine spots on her belly make it look lumpy, so those would be good to reduce a bit. Also, if you modify the shine on the nose you can make it look less flat and more realistic.

Other than that, I like the way you did the hair and the broken off arm. Her boob cups are a nice touch as well.

like i told jess above, i kinda rushed on this one. maybe it's the excitement. but also, i was sneaking on my job for this one. i was coloring this on a very teeny, mini window and i thought it looked great already. thanks for being kind enough to critique.

You're very welcome, although some people wouldn't call it "kind." I only do it because I care, though.

Ok, I'm kind of annoyed at this bloody site right now. I know FULL WELL i have you watched...and yet I have gotten no alerts about all the amazing art you've been putting up! I feel cheated! I have, apaprently, missed quite a bit and will have to set aside an afternoon to go through through all of it! Like everything else of yours that I've seen, this piece is incredibly well done. I remember most of your work being done in just pencil, so why have you been hiding your coloring skills from us?! Unfair, says I!

Great work as always!

damn, man!!! thanks!!!! well, i'm really not much of a colorist, but as i transferred to my new job, and we have this new printer, the possibilities of having my works printed and hung is quite possible.

That's pretty cool, I like how you included green in there too, but there are some of the grey bits that look a little knobbly (aspecially around the stomach), maybe you could smooth that out and experiment a bit with the stonelike texture.
Still fantastic though!

yeah, thanks for pointing it out... i guess i kinda rushed the coloring (even if it took quite some time).

I understand. Colouring is something that takes a lot of patience and time... (And even if I consider both of these I still screw up!)
