Description You may have seen the beautiful lines for this piece over in Tom's gallery already, and if you haven't you're gay HAHAHAHA. Serious, he's a kickass artist and deserves some love. Anyway, as you can see, I made two versions of this. The first one focuses more on rendering, whereas the weight of the second lies in the color choices and contrast alone, which I was aiming to make as saturated, and as inyourface as possible.

Pencils: Tom (Red Monkey)
Colors: Me (Monk)

Software: Painter IX.

The second is far trippier, but kinda two-tone by comparison to the first that really does justice to the image in creating a 'world' as it were.

I think the lower one is cooler, but the higher one shows greater coloring skill.

Awsesome. I like the first one more mostly because I get more of a sense of the body being mirrored. I like the composition more cropped in like that too. Really cool.

FabianMonk In reply to GuitarAtomik [2006-02-18 12:00:07 +0000 UTC]

I personally favour the first one as well. The second was more of an experiment. Glad you like it.

Man, I wish I could kick out some decent lineart for you. Prolly wouldn't take much, though, you're colors would make ANYthing I draw look better! lol
