Description After being given permission by to color [link] I figured that I should at least get it up here. I don't usually put up pieces like this one, but I'm doing this for the purpose of tracking the progress. If anybody wants to save the images as they progress, feel free, but I'll probably just compile them into a process image later.

Edit 1: Warrior of Light finished, Updated shading on Othros/Ultros, Started Kefka

Edit 2: Finished Kefka, Corrected missing piece of WoL's Helm. Palom and Porom Started (colors not shown here)

Edit 3: Finished Palom and Porom (The twins from FF4).

Edit 4: Bartz/Boco(FF5), Cid (FF4) and Terra (FF6) Completed. Locke is all that's left! (Save for a little suprise that I'm throwing out there at the end of it all.)

Edit 5: Finally! Hopefully this lives up to the awesomeness of your lines!

Not bad at all!!
I like the choosing of colors you did, also nice for choosing the Dissida/Yoshitaka Amano colors for Terra. I think her and Kefka turned out the best in my opinion.

One advice I would say though, is that I happen to see that you color directly over my lines, and that creates some blank spaces here and there to appear, and that's a shame, I think, since it "dirties" your work a bit... You should try to put the lineart in a layer above the rest, and set the layer mode in "multiply". Then, in a new layer below that one, you start coloring. Putting the lineart in Multiply means that you'll have the layer set in some kind of transparency scale, where the darker a color is, the more opaque it is. So black is 100% solid, while white is 100% transparent. This allows you to paint in the layers below as if the white zones were transparent, and this way you'll show no blank spaces Hope to have been usefl in that!

This is a pretty cool collage. I espcially love Palom and Porom. I like the crystals, too!

Thank you. You should really go and check out the original artist's page as well! I'm glad I got permission to do colors on this one!

I was gonna do that after filling out some paperwork. Thought I am curious about the brown-eyed Terra you have.

I grabbed the pallet from her Dissidia artwork, and I may have been off a little bit when I grabbed the color off the image. I try to use official pallets whenever I can.

I have seen her eyes green in the FMVs for Antholgoy, but it is blue or a blueish violet on dissida. Now, Bartz, while has brown eye in Dissidia, his battle sprite has blue eyes.

I know. That was my hell. Choosing which pallet to use. So I pretty much mashed in that case.
