Description I’d been on some long-hour days for most of this month, and that finally caught up with me last weekend – sleeping off most of four days. Was feeling a bit rusty, decided to warm-up in Photoshop, and I really enjoyed ~dawnbest ’s original Sonic comics – so I grabbed the line-art to page 10 of her Ruby comic ([link] ) and had some fun.

Meant to be a one-panel color warm-up. But obviously… Things went a bit far. I was really enjoyin’ m’self. Hope ya’ cats dig, and check out Dawn’s comics!

I'll never get to your level in PS man. But seeing yours and others great art helps me improve my own. XD Yup I'm whoring it up all the skills. XD This really brings her kickass art to life, and whatever tpye of extra shading you did, works wonders. ^^

Excellent! Awesome coloring work, herms85. I agree with Dawn, you two could work well together. You have a great sense of colors, lights and shadows.

Yeah Dawn did fantastic work for the archie sonic comic on her first issue (freedom fighters of the universe part 2?) you could really see the difference between the work the guy did in part one.

I lik ethat you have Ruby as a different shade of red, I always got annoyed when the comic would cop out and color all echidnas one color

Mina-Mongoose [2006-05-24 01:58:21 +0000 UTC]

Woah, this looks really awesome!

I love their poses in the very first panel, how she's clinging to him so sweetly. Too adorable! Dawn did a great job with the lineart! But your COLOURING...! It's just... SO amazing! I love all the detail you put into making the sun shine beyond the clouds in the first panel, and the shading in that last one is simply stunning!

Naw man. As much as I'd like to get out and hit more out-of-state conventions, don't got the money to. My next big convention is A-Kon in Dallas, TX, on June 9th to 11th.

Wow it looks great! You really did the comic justice. I love the gradient shading and lighting. Have you ever considered making a tutorial? *hopeful*

Thanks! I've done tutorials before - but I guess they're a bit out-of-date by now (the last one is almost exactly one year old, now). I might do a new one, when time allows ^^
