Description
EDIT: Changed the lighting, pushed the shadows and glows much more heavily.---
A gift to featuring his characters Crusher & Thorn.
As per his request this is a recreation of the scene when Crusher some what accidentally created Thorn in one of his monster experiments. (as originally seen in this short comic here... Page 1 , Page 2 , Page 3 .)

Coloring this piece seemed to take way too long for the final result here, so perhaps I need to plan these pieces more appropriately, but what I achieved was still worth it I think!
Now as a note, Thorn (the blueish creature) doesn't actually 'glow' as suggested in the picture, but since this was the moment of her 'creation' I thought it was neat to give the scene a little superficial lighting to help give focus to the subject matter here. It was a constant struggle to fully realize the background without overpowering the characters, but I think I did a pretty good job on keeping the focus set while giving the viewer a chance to 'explore' the piece.
As I am still incredibly amateur with coloring, I'd love to hear your opinion on what I accomplished here and anything I could have done different from any colorists here.

REALLY nice, I love the attention to detail and the simple but ridiculously expressive faces.
...Why Crusher appears to have charisma (for me, anyway) here is up for debate, hrmmm~

It was difficult to decide whether or not to use the creator's original cartoonish designs, but yah I think the expressiveness was a better route.
You think you see charisma eh? Gotta be the horns... there's only like a million on him so perhaps its equal to the number of horns on a person?
Really though I kind of find Crusher to be a real magnanimous force myself, so I certain that translated a least a little in this picture.
