Description Work In Progress


I've started my second attempt at coloring my artwork with Photoshop. This time, I went with my Transformers Animated mock cover based on the episode, "Total Meltdown." Even though I have a ways to go before I'm finished, please feel free to give some feedback on what I have so far. For instance, is Bumblebee the wrong color? Is he green? Hopefully he's yellow and darker shades of yellow. Like I mentioned before, I have trouble seeing colors correctly. So if I mess up, please let me know. It would be a big help.

" Hey,come back here and fight me! What are you, yellow?!"-Colossus Rhodes.

"Well,Duh!"-Bumblebee.

Now that's something!

This is quite awesome, my only gripe being that Colossus Rhodes (the huge guy) is supposed to be green, not blue. Beyond that, though, this is an awesome pic. I really love the character of Meltdown and it's great to see some fanart of him!

Awsome! I love BB and Meltdown. The other guy is a little weird. Not the way you drew him but the character. You drew him great

Looking good Matt, nice use of the shadows on BB. Do you have a tablet of some kind?

Boy, don't I wish I had a tablet. But I only have an iBook G4 and a new iMac, both of which have a traditional mouse interface / setup.

Thanks for the kind words, Josh.

It looks fine to me but I haven't really seen that much of Animated Bumblebee.

Thanks for the tip, but I already have some screen grabs saved from the episode. It's just that I don't see colors properly, so what looks yellow to me is often green. Blues and purples look the same. Dark reds and dark browns look alike too.

I remember in highschool, when painting, I'd mix what looked like a proper skin tone to me, only to have someone tell me my people were all "orange'ish".

This is all pretty much the reason I haven't been in a hurry to learn photoshop. Colors frustrate me.
